Please hold your tomatoes. I am sure most have has these thoughts at some point or another.

For starters, I love my L4. Tonight I had 6 gallons of gas in her and an 8 knot headwind. Couple that with a shiny new C90, and I felt like I was riding a rocket on takeoff. It was freekin' awesome. That will never be replaced.

But, we want to go places. With bags. At a clip maybe a touch faster than 90MPH. I hate to admit it, but I often toy with the idea of an upgrade to something bigger and faster.

I've been looking at 180's, Maules, and the like. Nothing tickles me like my L4 and I am sure nothing will. But, I can carry stuff and people and gas and a dog or two and go somewhere in those.

I can't have two - that's for sure.

So, what say ye? Am I insane for thinking that, for now, I have outgrown my Cub? I want nothing more than to keep her, but we keep driving to places I wish we could fly to. Thoughts?
