I'm not too interested in having more than one German vehicle. I finally get my dream car, I know it's not something amazing or anything, and I'm not in the mood to upkeep another vehicle for her. If it was German I'd feel obliged.

A cooling hose and the water pump. I had the pump changed +~50k or so ago and the reservoir tank and a couple of hoses preemptively...but we still got stranded one Sunday after a soccer tournament.

ETA: I'm keeping the car forever though.

Heck you can just put the waverunner inside the boat itself to take to the lake.

Only the rear bumper and front badge are dipped black, but I'll sell the original tires and tan dipped steelies with it. That's going to be hard to explain why they're tan. Ugh, yea...I thought it was cool. I don't want to, but I can't give up the manual 5 series.
I'd be interested in the steel spare wheels you have if you're in state.

If you are going to to tow anything, an f250 is required.

Stereos are for peasants, surround sound's the only level of quality that's acceptable for our ears.

I'm not touching this vehicle. I'm not cleaning it, I'm not upgrading it, I'm not taking it in for service. Women treat their cats like trash cans and I'm done digging shite out from between the seat and console and wondering WTH is stuck to the carpet. She's been driving the car I wanted for the last 5 years and I've kept it up through much gnashing of teeth. Never again. She makes good money, she can buy what she wants...as long as it can tow the boat in the OP.

get her a 4runner, all the comfort of a luxury car and the usefulness of an suv and the towing of a truck, its everything your looking for and they go 300-400k miles without the slightest problem

but I look at rear bumpers and they don't have the cutouts
. Some have well hidden receivers. A snap in cover that is hardly distinguishable from the bumper/ rear body panel. I know the newer Explorers are that way.
