…Hey, hey!
Twelve yards long, two lanes wide,
Sixty five tons of American pride!
Canyonero! Canyonero!
…She blinds everybody with her super high beams
She’s a squirrel-squashin’, deer-smackin’ drivin’ machine
Canyonero! Canyonero! Canyonero!
Whoa, Canyonero! Whoa!
Seriously- I love my Toyota Rav4. The 2002 version.
The Subaru Brat.
Cool is an SUV in which you can get two of your buddies to strap into two plastic bed mounted rear facing seats in a vehicle called a Brat.
Speaking from personal experience, Toyota’s 4Runner is a VERY dependable, capable 4WD vehicle. I had an '89, and put 248,000 miles on it, and my '98 just turned over 90K. They have taken me everywhere I wanted to go,on pavement and off, with no problems.
I rather like the BMW X5 LeMans – it’s the standard X5 fitted with the 1999 V12 LeMans engine. 700 bhp, and capable of 193 mph. With that kind of horsepower, it could probably go into orbit
Oh Oh!! I’d go with the one that is pictured in the commercials as driving up huge rocky mountains, through lakes and streams, and across the tundra even though the most I’ve ever seen it do in real life is cart around a soccer mom 5 feet above her height so she can get to the grocery store to pick up some snacks for the kids!
Or maybe that one that’s so wide that when parallel parking it takes up just over one parking space while having two wheels on the sidewalk and far enough into the street so that I have to cross the yellow line to get around it in my car!!
How about that one that flips over if you take a turn too fast? It’s ok for me! Being in something the size of a tank I won’t get hurt! Although maybe the guy I hit will be…
And who can forget that one that has the gas milage of a tank?! That’s one’s a real beauty!
Actually, if you want to see a pretty cool SUV, have a look at the Nissan Murano. I’m thinking of getting one of these things. 245 HP, built on an Altima chassis, and it has a continuously-variable transmission that gets it pretty good gas mileags (24mpg).
And although it’s a little small to be an SUV, it has 4 wheel drive and 227 HP: The WRX Sport Wagon.
The original Jeep. All other SUVs should be collected, loaded into a big canyon, and nuked into non-existence as the worst pestilence ever to infect our roadways.
COOL SUV’s - HA! Want a cool SUV, turn up your air conditioning. That’ll use that much MORE gasoline.
And to the 5’2" inch 98 pound lady driving the brand new full size Ford Excursion that backed over my motorcycle in front of Starbucks back a couple of months ago (you know who you are - the lady with her insurance information PRINTED ON THE BACK OF HER BUSINESS CARD!!) - thanks for the money. Now, go turn that tank in and get a Volkswagen of a Cooper Mini if you want to drive a cool car.
Don’t get me started on SUV’s - there’s about 0.001% of the population who actually NEED these behemoths and far, FAR too many people driving the damned things.
OK - enough, I don’t want to make this pit-worhty.
