Christ for $100k I could buy a fantastic 4WD truck and have plenty left over to build or buy a badass car. I'd have the best of both worlds.
All I know is this. I'm a Musclecar guy and I hang out with a group of car guys. We've all built our own rides and we have years and years of hot rodding experience between us. When I see these guys roll into cruise nights with their brand new rides, still smelling like the dealership, and they're wiping them down with that homo feather duster thingy, I just laugh.

I wish I could have a second car just for fun, but it isn't happening anytime soon. So I have to make due with my truck and "sport it up" a bit.
For the guys that show up with new rides, everyone has to start somewhere and for others, having the latest is important.

I've done it both ways. I need a truck for towing and hauling boats, jet skis, tractor and atv's, but like fast vehicles too. I don't want to store, maintain, clean, and insure 2 vehicles-been there done that. I've owned a Dakota r/t, lightning, sc Harley truck.....and now a supercharged 2015 5.0 that weighs the same as a hellcat charger and has 700 hp as well. If you can have both in one vehicle, why buy two? It's beyond me why people don't get that.

I used to think the same thing. I built everything and was proud of it, meanwhile shunning those that bought a fast car. Since then I've come to realize that factory built performance vehicles have a huge reliability advantage for those who would rather drive something than work on it. If ford sold a lightning or ram sold a hellcat truck today, I would have bought that rather than building my truck.
