Oh goodness no!  I meant, I'll drive the PT Cruiser, she can drive the
Truck.  The Cruiser stays, no matter what her vehicle is.   I've already
made that rule.  Whenever the PT Cruiser is paid off, she can get
whatever vehicle (within reason) she wants - but the PT Cruiser stays
with me.

I'll probably be keeping my Truck too, after all the mods are done only
a hardcore wheeler would want it anyway.  My next vehicle, I've already
decided, is going to be a Dodge Ram 2500 V10 (or maybe Hemi, if a
big-block is available by then) with a quad cab.  BIG! :)

In due time, the Cruiser will get some special treatment.  It'll have a
supercharger installed, and the suspension worked over a little to make
it handle better.  I'd also like to see some 18" or larger wheels on it
with some w-i-d-e tires.  We'll see if wider tires are doable, there
ain't much room under the fenders in stock form. I *might* have to
radius the fenders, but I hope not.  I don't want to change the stock
look all that much, if at all. It'll be a real sleeper - people won't
even think twice, until it rockets past them...
