Since my 370Z decides to fail me at 12K miles, I am thinking about moving up my plans for a dedicated race car and baby. In order to get them, I will need a tow vehicle. I am thinking about a FJ Cruiser since it is relatively cheap and it has a decent towing capacity (5000lbs, 3000 race car with 2000 trailer). Have you guys driven one? I just want to see your thoughts on it.

I am tempted to get another sports car, but nothing is really good in the 20-30K range. I dont want to go overboard since I don't plan to track any car over 10K on the track in the near future as I saw my friend's 30K Corvette getting totalled. I will miss the autox scene, but I can always take the Prius with slicks to scare the rookies. I would also love a sports car to drive to work, but I am not sure a used European car for $20K is a good idea, especially with my luck on cars since almost every car I owned broke for one reason or another the last 4 years.
