You guys just described how I feel about potentially owning a Deuce or 5 ton. I'd totally have either as a daily driver but parking would kind of suck. I'm almost 18 and going off to college, so the one I'd have to convince is the parking attendent at UAF (TB58, I'm sure you know that place)...

I wouldn't know, I haven't driven one LOL. I'd like to own one though! I think I'd take a 939 series over an 809 series though.

Ha! I'm literally in the exact same position as you. (Age, etc.) I have a slight possibility of a potential Deuce acquisition next June, though. And yes, it would likely be a commuter car. Some people think it's really cool, everyone else thinks it's completely ridiculous. Regardless, the...
