I was thinking that, as soon as I saw what he was asking about.

Something like this.  Bolt big truck tires to it, something like a tug boat.   Then, no fear of parking it at home, or sitting at traffic lights

You’d think a Yukon XL would’ve been ok...frown

My agent told me “no more Yukon’s” I told her I was buying an 18-wheel dump truck.

+1 on the accord.

We had on '01 that we bought in '03, and I have no complaints about it at all. Cheap to drive, started every time and needed almost no "extra" maint. 

I would buy another...

I’m trying to look at my immediate future and take in the opinions of those that know me best. The ones that have known me for decades agree that I’d be miserable in a car like that. I can’t realistically argue with that. I’m looking at a white crew cab GMC 4x4. Just like my last Denali but has a pickup bed. I figure that might throw off the gray Accords long enough for me to escape.

Get the pick up and the Accord and park the Accord at the end of the driveway as bait. Be careful when pulling into the driveway with the truck. Sorry, hope you are still seeing the humor in this whole mess.

The Accord was in an accident and sold at a salvage auction.  I didn't see if it had a salvage vs clean title.

The dealer ad has a link to the carfax report.

This is calling out to me.... https://providence.craigslist.org/cto/d/rat-rod-international/6492467860.html

Not so much an immediate driver, but, when was the last tme you saw one of those?  Also, that'd be a good contender in the Your Car vs Yukon saga.

What about this?

$4500 for that? BIL bought one new and after a few years it was a complete pile of garbage. I don't think I would buy any Dodge from that era.

Those Accords are good cars.

Gray Accords are out to get you.

Do Not buy that car.

I had a 2000 accord 5sp I put 70k on and only changed the oil. Rock solid, dependable transportation. Even the salvage title wouldn't scare me, if it drives straight, with that milage you can't lose.
