Well, ya actually. A lot of reasons. As I look out the front door right now I see about 1.5-2' of water running drown the road, and I have 15 miles to go to get home. This area is always getting hammered with some kind of bad weather. If it isn't Snow and Ice it is Water and Mud. I am a police officer and often need to go places where the cars can not go, often to pull them out of the mud or snow. I am also a Blacksmith and often hall metal and tools and equipment. I have heard all the comments about I should use a can and pull a trailer. Anyone who has a clue knows this is a non working solution. I have 4 boys who go with me a lot so I have to have the extra room. Would be stupid for me to own 4-5 vehicles just so I can have one for every occasion as some would suggest fuel is not the only expense involved in ownership of a vehicle.

How about you?
