Yeah something like this one, a guy I work with has this. It's somewhere around 350 hp or so.

OMG!!  Want an Isetta so bad I can't stand it. In blue.   

And yeah, +1 on you don't need a weiner-extender to be a fireman.  My old BMW R890R's saddlebags would hold all the junk you need to haul to a fire, provided somebody else drives the fire truck.

Aren't they actually compensating for not owning a truck?

Good for you Andro. I wish I had the time for something like that.

You really just need something that will carry the beer from the distributor to the fire house.

Did you start growing your mustache yet? ;D

If you go with an older forester, get one made after 01. The first two years they had a design flaw that causes an oil leak. It's a minor issue they fixed in MY01. They had a body change in 03 or 04. Those are the best foresters, imo (I have a 99 forester).

The mega-hp torque machines are the XT series. They are turbo and will seriously impress you with their power, but they also require higher octane than the non-turbo series.

What kind of price range are you thinking about ?

Will this be your primary or secondary vehicle ?

As others have said some type of pickup sounds like it would fit the bill.  I have a Toyota Tacoma TRD that is a great overall ride for me.

If you don't need 4-wheel drive they make the same body style in just a 2wd called the Pre Runner.  It comes in a four banger and a V6, auto and 6-speed.
