Ah, the cash flow issues caused when you have to buy two cars back to back...
After much searching (and a little fighting), Patrick bought a truck. Although some would argue that "Honda" and "Truck" are two words that should never be uttered in the same sentence - they would be REALLY wrong. Turns out this model was ranked the best Truck of the Year by someone reputable - and it's no surprise really. Lots of nice features, solid truck - it drives comfortable, but you can still feel the power.
IT also has lots of toys - like navigation and a hidden trunk.
