I think you should get what you want and then make it yours.
Well, I like both of them for different reasons. Seeing that I already really have the "truck" thing covered several times over, I'm thinking an actual car may be somewhat predisposed at being better at the whole "car" thing.

The fact that the old four door cars are still cheap and easy to find makes it even more enticing.

19MPG is pretty good if you are getting that doing burnouts and pulling a trailer.
