Hubby's maintenance free 2000 Land Cruiser Prado, still going strong:



I usually opt out of the 4x4 trips. Just not for me.

I'm very happy for you elite_hunter_sh3 ... :p

You can pick up a lot of illegal aliens to bring home to do yard work with a ride like that ...

Now don't take me wrong, because I've been reading your post for a long time now ... but is this why your mom had to go to work? To help pay the taxes, of course ...

Drive careful ... will your dad let you take it out for a spin ... your just a teenager, right?

for the first 2 months im pretty sure he wont let me touch the steering wheel let alone sit in the drivers seat. and besides i dont need that huge truck, my dad found me a repossesed Benz S55 AMG with 80k km on it, my dads mechanic said cars in excellent condition and theres no problems whatsoever, apparently the original owner lost his job and couldnt pay the lease so repodepot had to reposess it this happened a day or 2 ago,
heres the site they r selling it but no price is shown

http://www.repodepo.ca/cars/165191.aspx

hey i dont car if its repossed, as long as its fully loaded and mechanically perfect (which it is ) and now i cant wait to get ma own benz 55 amg, but midterms are coming up for my second semester and im in grade 12 last yr of high school, so if midterm = good marks then benz for me if midterm = bad marks then i wont be posting anymore because ill be in te hospital with broken arms and a mild concussion

no shes working for the extra cash in the pocket for all the little side things ppl like to buy, my dads the money maker rakes in 8-9000 a month working for boeing making locking pins for landing gears(he makes the high strength bolts that keep airplane from crashing into ground)

edit: dont be happy for me be jealous and that'll give u te energy and confidence to get ur own and besides a used 1 from 1998-2000 is around 50 grand

edit again lol: or get a range rover or land rover, them is goood suvs http://www.landroverusa.com/us/en/Ve...percharged.htm

Hey! Land Rovers are where its at. I wanted a secondary car to get out of town with, so I studied the options. After looking at Hummer (Which I was seriously considering until I felt its complete lack of power and poor vision - and one very big serious drawback - its width on both the H1 and H2!), I went with Land Rover. Why? Simple - trail performance. You can't take a Hummer anywhere on any trail. I barely fit the Land Rover on it. I still scratch up the sides from branches and such with how wide it is - The Hummer simply wouldn't fit at all!

Another negative - even though the independant suspension is really nice in most regards - if you are travelling on the type of terrain that I have been on, it is actually a big negative. You want a solid rear axle for a reason - to make sure the bottom of the vehicle will clear certain objects! Take the Hummer where I have gone, and it would be stuck from bottoming out!

That Hummer has some nice pluses - especially the room - you can practically stretch your arm out sideways and hardly touch the person next to you, but for where I go, that is a negative.

-S

PS. I think I want another Land Rover - I need to find a Defender in good shape - what I consider the ultimate Land Rover, but they are pricey for what they are right now. Anyway, it's better to have two right? Incase one gets stuck.
