2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
I happened to catch the beginning of the classic Tom Cruise movie "Cocktail" last week. During the opening credits, a mid-80's LTD is chasing a Greyhound bus, filled with Tommy-boy and his Army pals. I noticed that Tom has his head and torso stuck out of a sunroof, and it made me wonder if that was a factory option, or if the car was modified for the movie?

Circa 2010-2011 GMC Terrain AWD 4-cyl
2009’ish CX9.
Terrain would have lower miles, of course, and, frankly, I prefer the looks of it. Reliability of either is unknown to me.

Even all the way to the 03/04 Marauders.... they were factory option, but sent out to be installed by ASC.

We are getting a lot in a campground about 5 minutes outside Sea Isle City, NJ.
This will be our weekend spot!
Not quite the condo in Wildwood Crest we wanted, but much more attainable for now while the kids are little.
Hope to have ready in about 10 days, so we can enjoy the fall down there. It’s a seasonal place April thru November.
Never though I’d own a trailer, but friends of ours have one (very similar) and we enjoyed the atmosphere and our kids love the campground and all it has to offer (pools, lake, playgrounds etc). Not to mention the beach is so close.
I’m hoping to get it paid off in about 7 years, and then maybe we can think buying a condo/house closer to the beach.
Wasn’t sure how much margin there is on these things, but got another 4K off the “blowout “ price and got delivery and setup included. Some people who claim to know pricing said we did very very well.

Always thought that was a bit hokey - what government agency buys cars with a sunroof? But, movies. Suspend disbelief. Still enjoy that movie.

GM paid for the one, even though out of warranty.
The Mazda owner had to eat their repair.

I've also looked into the "tiny house" option, and a lot of what I've seen makes it look like people tend to understate the cost, and sometimes use non-standard parts which will be a bear to replace. I'm not really interested in kludges like trying to retrofit a small (but inefficient) RV water heater to work in a tiny house. The least expensive water heater, after discounts, is generally a 40 gallon electric (or a little more for gas), so why not work around that?
I think I'd be fine with a studio-style single family residence modeled after the Home2Suites I recently stayed at, slightly larger, with a connected utility/storage room accessible from the outside, and a patio with a pergola. I'm sure it wouldn't be inexpensive the way I'd want it built, though!

so you buy the RV then just get a lease on a spot in the RV park and leave it there? Or do you get it through the park?

Ya know, I think I may have failed to update.
So this may be a record for BMW transfer. It was less than 1 week! New owner is picking it up tomorrow.

Yes, we looked at some pretty small condos...at 5x the price!

I always liked these. Miles are steep, but it is cheap!

Thus one actually interests me. Age and miles not bad, and price seems OK.

This is a good deal. Low miles. If you are willing to do an equinox, why not! It’s cheap.

I bet that 4-cyl Terrain would still easily outgun a Hummer or a Wrangler Unlimited 3.8.

So I want something with a decent cargo area and at least has the potential to look mean. I'm all about appearance on this truck deal, it would seem.
As I came upon vehicles ...
CX-9, I've decided will NEVER look mean.
Terrain, definitely has potential, but starting to think it could be too small. Not ruled out yet.
Tiguan, certainly on the smaller side.
Then I finally thought of something that I really should have thought of earlier. A 4runner. Could definitely check all the boxes.
