You don't say what you will use it for. Competition? Save wear and tear on your Yaris? Image?

If you need a bulletproof do-all machine, find an old 6-cyl Ford pickup, the uglier the better. On the freeway, you just DARE anyone to hit ya, 'cuz you just don't care. It moves furniture. It works fine in the snow, even as a 2wd. I rode in one that had twind Webers and headers, and it was FAST!

My compromise vehicle (still hunting for a 300" Ford) is a Volvo 245. 210,000 miles just nicely broken in, carries 4x8 sheets on roof racks, 25mpg, 4 people in safety, handles REALLY well. Nothing to look at, and like any other car, has its own character.

What are you looking for, really?

It all depends on the kind of car that I get .... if its the 2 seater then I would use it for competition (autoX and Time attacks) As for the bike it would be an image kinda thing ... and the Jeep would be a car to use in bad weather and around town... leaving the Yaris for long hauls.
