help me buy an SUV

haha wow, forgot how off topic this got.

55k mile update i guess? the X is still doing great. starts and drives without a hickup. we've hauled everything from logs to mt. bikes to luggage in it and it's not bad for trips less than 2 hours. we loaded the hell out of it for a trip to Charleston, SC back in July and it did very well, if a little bumpy.

things i've found that i don't like or am having problems with:
- rides like ass
- all 4 shocks are totally gone. see above.
- still wish it had more power
- terrible milage for the power it makes
- the "airfoil" that sits right above the windshield collects enormous amounts of leaves under it and they turn into a compost pile if you don't clean it out constantly

things i find i'm liking or finding pretty cool:
- surprisingly good brakes
- killer stereo
- low maintenance
- everything is really simple
- i still think it looks cool
- it always holds more than i think

the only thing that has really suffered in it's time with us so far is the paint...but whatever, it's a truck. overall i'm still happy with it.
