The trooper used to be mine tho....

I sold it to my aunt to take over payments. bought an Xterra (06 nice).
I paid off my truck and got a $400/month raise at work. now I can afford both the trooper payment and the X payment.

Page 115 of the Begleopedia:

Chart of Babe Capacity (CBC):

Acura: 2 (If it's fast.)
AMC Gremlin: 3 (7 midgets)
AMC Javelin: 2
Chevy Astrovan: -2 (or 17 illegals)
Corvette: 1 (Worth a lot of money)
Crew Cab Duramax: 5
Ford Powerstroke: -8 (per mile on the odometer)
Honda Civic: 3
Isuzu Trooper: 7
Mazda: 1.5
Nissan Frontier: 2
Pinto: -3
SRT-10: 7
Suburban: 12
The Incubator: 13/3's
Toyota Tercel: N/A
Woody Wagon: 11

Consulting the chart, the Isuzu Trooper is obviously the better choice, as long as you have a sufficient BAM (babe attracting magnitude) to reach Babe Capacity. Typically, Trooper owners achieve a higher BAM through harvesting sage, growing herbs, surfing and meditation, activities which are usually anachronistic of the Frontier BAM, which is reached by wearing a paper bag over one's head. In conclusion, if the lifestyle change is a possibility, $3,500 never lies...

Consulting the chart here, unless I'm mistaken, the capacity of "The Incubator" is rated at 13 "3"'s. Does that mean it's only good for 13 chicks if they are all ugly and/or fat? Is the capacity for "9"s higher, due to less weight, or lower, due to the higher number per "9"?

Yes, the fronty is who I am. Ive had it for 94,000 miles. Thats tough to let go.
Of course my wife had the trooper for 40000miles (24000 on it when we bought it).

the nissan is 2wd and gets about 1mpg better
the isuzu is 4wd (with lsd) and has about 50 more hp.

btw, im married so my babe magnet what ever is off the chart (one direction or the other)
