The turbo Forester is getting lukewarm reviews. Looks like they put in the hot motor, but did not upgrade the suspension appropriately. -- - GRL "It's good to want things." Steve Barr (philosopher, poet, humorist, chemist, Visual Basic programmer)
well SUVs are sure nicely setup for roll-overs. I saw one on TV the other day with anti-roll-over, I wander how that works ;-) hehe.. -john
I thought this post was a bit troll like when I first saw it, but it has caused quite a few comedic responses. A SUV with anti-roll means it has castors on the roof, just like my wifes 240 estate.
it's all a crock, I've been driving the things for almost 20 years and only a complete ass could roll one
perhaps its not about math but physics: quantum mechanics - many world interpretation? There you can pack a nearly infinite number of children into your house, and getting the square root of them each in half paired with some other half onto the backseat of your car quite near to your cone of reality. So there should be no problem with just 4 of them ...
Funny... that's what some reckless tractor trailer drivers say about ALL fourwheelers. "Stupid moron cut in front of a 80,000 lb rig and slammed on his brakes. There was nothing left for me to do but run over his sorry pink ass." -- *Philip "Children left running and unattended will be towed at owner's expense"
That happens more times than you would think. When some moron does that to me, I just figure s/he is trying to see what my tail lights look like from underneath the truck.
This is the best "SUV" in the world - The Lada Niva. One of my friends had one we dubbed "Boris" it went everywhere in all conditions up our Scotttish mountains. link - http://cloggy.net/pictures.html
Nah. Give me a Volvo C303 anyday. Oh? need a URL? http://www.real4x4.com/ Second place goes to the Pinzgauer, though not by much. Both will crumple up a Hummer into a tiny piece of GM scrap that it is. Cost a lot less, too. The C303 has 15 inches of clearance at its lowest point, and over two feet at the middle.
Hi, I am not a truck driver but I run into those morons a lot pulling my 8000 lbs 5th wheel camping trailer. Tony
"Simply Vanity", "I don't care" , looks like you include yourself and wife as a pair within the four grown up children. Grown up chiildren is an oxymoron. Don't understand that? Thought so.
In the field of psychology, the mention of "Parents of Adult Children" not to mention Adult Children of Aged Parents runs rampant. Did you know this? A spot check of this thread has shown a wanton failure to distinguish "need" from "desire." I'm not going to single out anyone in particular. ;^) -- Philip "If a long train of abuses, prevarications, and artifices, all tending the same way, make the design visible to the people . tis not to be wondered that they should then rouse themselves." - John Locke (1632-1704)
