Owning multiple vehicles

My Junk Part 4

I've never owned a car, only trucks and 4x4s, so this is my car, a 2004 Dodge 1500. It's the first and only vehicle I ever bought new. I really don't drive it much. I purchased it to use as a tow rig for a Jeep I don't even own anymore. The bummer was that the Jeep I wanted to tow was pretty much too heavy for the truck anyway. The trailer, truck, and Jeep was a scary combo and a handful when going down the road. It handled like a three-wheeled motorhome half filled with Jello. Anyway, everything I own can't be non-running or a total pile, I need to have some sort of reliable transportation. Besides, it's paid off and I still tow with it from time to time.


I'd really like to have a newer Dodge Power Wagon. I think it would make an awesome recovery/tow rig. Especially since it has lockers, a winch, and of course a Hemi V-8. But the budget don't allow it right now. However, if I lived where it snowed, I'd find a way.
