Ski Vehicles - Aerodynamics?

****.

So you're tellin me in 2007 if I buy a used diesel pick up, the engine
will be worthless ?

Diesels are definatly the way to go. I'd like to tow some stuff into
the Uinta's. My current minivan barely (and I mean BARELY) gets over
some of the passes around here. Sardine Canyon particularly...On a
trip over Parley's my stupid van couldn't even maintain going 45 mph up
the hill. Definatly time for a truck.

Let me know when Powder Magazine votes it #1.

Ran into Jake Moe the other day. He founded Powder magazine. He drives a
Subaru. As do I.
Anybody knows that Suby's are the ultimate ski vehicle, the most popular car
in the hills.
Trucks are for pussies.

No way. Suby's are such a fad nowadays and the company knows it.
That's why they are RIDICULOUSLY overpriced. Even 4 year old models
with 50K + mileage is rarely under 15-20 thousand dollars. It's
ridiculous. Trucks are MUCH more practical and can haul stuff when /
if you need it too.

1. Suby's a fad? I somehow missed that. Of course, I'm on my third
Sooooooob.
2. Trucks are more practical? Tell me that after you fill up: I get twice
the mileage.
3. Go price a Toyota truck. Then price a Soooob. Which one is overpriced?
4. Real men are secure enough in their masculinity that they can choose the
practical option rather than driving around in something that makes them
look tough.

Wait a minute. What does that make my crew cab GMC pick-up? 325 HP,
4X4, electric seats that adjust in every direction, the ski's fit
inside the shell without folding down any seats. As a matter of fact,
that infinity would come close to fitting in the back! :-)

It makes it a thing of beauty, and convenience.

Nah, the used one should be fine. They just haven't come out with the
new fuel here yet, and using the old fuel in the new diesels is
illegal. Using the new fuel in the old diesels will be fine.

Who drives foreign trucks? About the only foreign manufacturer I'd
even consider is possibly Isuzu and that's just because they make an
outstanding diesel engine.

Subarus are cute little cars and fine for suburban and urban types. I
can hook a tandem-axle livestock trailer to my truck and pull the cows
around, though. Let's see you do that with a Subaru. For me, being
able to take the cows for a ride is infinitely more practical than
taking some skis for a ride.

It's not the same for you - I suspect you live in the city where they
don't have cows.

Like I said, I pulled a livestock trailer through Steamboat and Rabbit
Ear Pass (Muddy Pass, too, but that ain't much of a pass) in a storm a
couple of winters ago because the folks in Colorado had broken IH-70.
The Dodge worked great - not so great fuel economy (about 20 MPG), but
hell, not enough to make up the difference in having to buy a whole new
rig just so you wouldn't worry about my manhood.

Not to mention carting around an entire pickup bed full of tools that
weigh a few thousand pounds. But then one would have to have a skill
and job to know anything about that.

And a sooooooob is probably plenty big enough for little boys to lay
down in the back if you fold down the seats.

In his world "they" don't have jobs either.

That whole manhood thing comes from someone without any. Don't try to
reason with the unreasonable.
