I live in NJ and almost always had a pick up truck for safety reasons. This place is a death trap. A few years ago, I decided to be practical-gas mileage, tiny parking spots, etc...so I got a fuel efficient sedan. A month later a woman was texting in her F-150 and traffic stopped on the interstate. She did not, and slammed into me at full speed.

I am lucky to be alive, but had to have my neck fused and am scheduled to have my lower back fused. I have not been, nor will I ever, be the same. I am missing out on the best years because my boy is 9 and I can barely play with him.

I would buy a tank if I could.

Kinda like guns. If no one had guns, neither would I. If everyone just had sedans, so would I (The smart cars are farcical).

I'd like to buy a brand new 1978 era Chevy K-5 Blazer brand new if I could. The next best thing to a tank. Built solid, reliable, and dependable. THanks to EPA and other government agencies they are no more. They were among the best trucks ever built.

You can, but you may not be able to run it in New Jersey.
