New Fishmobile
So I'll be making the big bucks in about a month, the tranny's dying on my little Escort, and it's time for an upgrade to a real, honest-to-goodness fishmobile. I probably won't get a new vehicle before May, but I do want to start my research now so that I can make an informed purchase this time, instead of saying, "It's so cute, and it's such a pretty blue color! Gimme! Now!" like last time.
Does anyone have suggestions as to what to get?
Here's some stuff I'm looking for:
Decent gas mileage for its class
Long enough to fit a 10-foot rod inside (just to stash while I'm fishing other rods...will probably get a rod holder, thus...)
Rod rack-able
4WD not absolutely neccessary, but would be great
Dependable, with oft- and easily-changed parts in accessible areas
Not silly-looking, like a half-pickup/half SUV thing, and no lunchboxes like the Honda Element
American
Thanks in advance!
