It looks cool, sounds cool...and is way better than my old buick (1977 Buick Lesabre)...may it rest in pieces.

[Nightshade]

NIce:nod:


isnt it a gas guzzler though??

[Schokokeks]

:eek2: I could never ever back into a parking space with that gargantuan thing !
Anyway, it looks nice and I assume that you can handle it ;)
Have fun and take care on the road ! :D

[TEND]

I vote for an other category :D .
Congrats Cap'n!

[Stanislaw]

heh, well its not too bad on gas...about 26mpg (thats twice what my buick can do)...

...and infact it is smaller!!! than my buick...(which I make clear... is from the 70's):D

...but yeah, its awesome.

This website: http://www.desoto58.com/shotzone/telllesabre77.html has some good pictures of what my old car looks like...except mine is a lighter blue, and has all the hubcaps...and the interior is pretty much in one piece (I have all the instruments still there...some even work).

but the body damage is pretty close...except mine also has front fender rust/carnage. :D

[AimusSage]

Níííííííce! :D It's a cool car aye, I've seen a few on the road, it's a popular car in Holland.

[subterranean]

Who is the coolest among the four? I'll vote for him!

[Virgil]

Looks nice. Don't worry about gas guzzler. It's your money.

[Shannanigan]

congrats :D I love the feeling of owning something new, especially a vehicle :)

[adilyoussef]

Hey captin! Congratulation. So are you taking us with you on your new car?

[Schokokeks]

It's a cool car aye, I've seen a few on the road, it's a popular car in Holland.

Sure, in Holland, where there are so many hills and steep mountains, you absolutely need an all-terrain robust car as that one ! :D :p

Please, if that is an all terrain car, I'm a monkey! It might look like one, and pretend to be one, but when you take it offroad, it'll damage it's nails. :lol: It's a n urban tractor and it's a cool car, but definately not fit for offroading. :D

Having said that, there are some very steep bridges in the netherlands :p

[thevintagepiper]

Congrats Stanislaw! That's really cool.

I thought it looked like a good off-road driving car. The perfect thing to go dune bashing in here!! Almost every single person I know has an old Toyota Land Cruiser though, which work just as well in the desert :nod:

I know...I almost got dizzy from lack of O2 when I climbed the...er, mountain there. :D

You bet...it be the land incarnation of the dasderdly stans! :D

:D, I like the optional trailer hitch that the dealer was trying to get me to buy for an extra 500...heh...I think that is wishfull thinking ;)

...but now this should be changed to ...Guess who BOUGHT a new 2007 Hyundai Tucson, 2.0 L 4 Cyl.:cool:

[Logos]

Only 4 cyl? I guess if you're not pulling a big load, actually getting the hitch put on in factory can be much cheaper than after-market, friend just got quoted $995CDN for his Honda element after-market hitch. The Tucsons are nice transition /compact SUV's, won lots of awards, very sporty handling ;) have fun! :D

Eh there, Aimus ! These cars don't just look tough, they are ! :p
But I'll admit, I'm not into vehicles really, I just got carried away by the intimidating impression Stan's picture had on me ;)

[Virgil]

Stan, are you getting pirate black for color?

Thankyou! and good advice...but I don't think I will need one...untill I actually buy a tent trailer.:D

[papayahed]
