    So... it's your perfect Wagon, except you'd want to do a bunch of modifications to it... :confused:
    Billy, I have one that will get you by if you need one. It's an older Lawnboy, starts first pull. Not pretty but runs well. Burns oil and gas so no skeeters while you're mowing. If you want it, you can have it. I would be using it but my father in law gave me a newer one with a bagger so I use that instead.

    All the more reason to use a push mower!! :D

    We have this one, and honestly it seems like it pushes just as easy as our gas mower does.

    I've got a push mower that's not self propelled, but the portion of my property with grass only takes about 15 min to mow

    Self-propelled mowers just seem like they'd be more trouble than they're worth. God forbid you hit a thick patch of grass and have to mow slower than the wheels want you to go, or vice versa.

    A lot of the self propelled ones have speed control. If you hit a thick patch of grass and need to walk slower, just disengage the drive and push it, at least that's what I always did :notsure: Self propelled sure is nice if you have a lot of hills but the best are those landscape ones that tow you along behind them.

    Shrug. I'll stick with my reel mower. Cheap upfront, and zero running or maintenance costs.

    I saw a rider mower on TV that's advertised as going up to 10mph so save time. Seems like that might be a little too quick to do a good job cutting grass.

    Depends, ever see how fast those commercial mowers move? If the blades can keep up, you can mow at a pretty good clip. That being said, I highly doubt that suburban wonder tractor will do a very good job at that speed... :rolleyes:

    Depends on how fast the blades are moving, I guess. A lot of the zero turns go faster than that and they seem to do a decent job. :notsure:

    The green is super rare. They only made them for the 03 model. Super rare color, plus skewp plus V8 plus one year of production makes it super duper rare. And I have a thing for that green!


    Nah just some aesthetic things haha

    Got passed by a dark gray metallic AC Tacoma on 125 in Andover/North Andover. Had a satoshi with no emblem, what I think is an all pro front bumper and blue tinted fogs in the bumper. Stock chrome rear bumper. About 3" lift with black rims with chrome edges.

    Anyone on here?

    You sound like Dave and Miguel with their stupid Grand Cherokees that have the 5.9 liter motor.

    Exactly. I've got the smallest one I could with a bag. Works just fine for me.

    Key difference is I'm never buying a Chrysler product. Ever.

    I'd be more than happy with a 4.7 :D

    Just a photo I found online. If I find one I'm gonna try to buy it.

    A guy's uncle on 4runners.com got one with 90k for $8,000

    And I am smart... Most of the time anyway... I have my moments!

    But I'm definitely not trading my newer truck for an older one because my friend has one. And I'm most definitely not selling the older truck I just bought to buy a Chrysler product with a 5.9 because my friend has one and he says it's the best so I have to have the best.
