I pined for a new trailer for years, did my homework, but then waited until I reached the age where you could withdraw funds from your IRA without paying an extra penalty. Since I bought a plain vanilla cargo trailer, and spent two months converting it into a real travel trailer, the experience seemed like quite a memorable adventure.
In an analogous fashion, it is now time to buy a newer tow vehicle, since I have transitioned from ObamaCare to Medicare, and can forget about the loss of subsidy that would be caused by a spike in income.
But will buying a new tow vehicle be fun or adventurous? I am having my doubts. I am not going to convert the tow vehicle -- I will just buy it. Doing mechanical work on a motor vehicle is my least favorite thing to do.
If you were repainting a bedroom, you might make it more fun by at least changing the colors! But my newer tow vehicle will have to be a van, just like the old one. Nothing else makes any sense.
We have all heard somebody complaining about how hard they are thinking about solving some conundrum in their life, but there "just ain't no solution," according to them. When you try to suggest something, they immediately shoot your idea down. Finally you give up because you decide that the moper is trying to impose six demands on the situation, and they just aren't willing to budge on any of them, so why waste your time on them?
Do you see how I box myself into a corner with this brutally utilitarian (aka, 'brutalitarian') mindset? No wonder I can't have any fun!
So I will end with a white box on four wheels. How exciting! What am I overlooking?

- Truck-based SUVs are hardly available anymore, and would be over-priced if they were still available.
- Car-based CUVs, so-called 'crossover utility vehicles' look like poor tow vehicles, and their ground clearance is mediocre. Storage inside is limited. Hell, they're just cars.
- Pickup trucks are outrageously over-priced, too big, and desirable to thieves. They have little inside storage, which is the only kind of storage that "counts." They are a travesty.

You have to have additional filters other than less than 50,000 miles or would have found a white one by now.
Nissan NV still interests me, but there aren't many available. Of course, I would only need one.
