I bought a new car (the "I wanna be like Gugs" thread)...

I've actually heard cool stuff about the NIVA.
Jeeps are cool and 'MERICAN, but they are also very common. Yes yes, I'm a douche-bag and like to have unique stuff sometimes. On the other hand, the aftermarket 'scene' for Jeeps is ridiculous so it's not very hard to have something truely unique AND baddass (as in baddass for actual use on trails, etc.).

they are not as common in the UK where he lives
and in sweden you very rarely see one that is not a cherokee
tully ok for real: fuck all this mercedes shit and be a real man like varg vikernes
what you need is LADA NIVA. made with pure russian steel. the only car that will survive the inevitable nuclear holocaust.
so you want him to escape an ambush then die in a car accident
Yea I've heard it as just replace 'Jeep' with 'Land Rover' in the UK/USA. Ie: Land Rovers are not common here, Jeeps are not common there.
That being said, a Land Rover Defender would be cool as well:
Can you get it with a winch, light bar, roof lights, and bar-bumper from the dealer? I DUNNO HOW STUFF WORKS! I think it said you can, because 'Ford Racing' can do all that for you.

I like Jeep Wranglers and Land Rovers, but with that said...
Consumer Reports named the Jeep Wrangler as its least reliable vehicle EVER. it's way fucking true... so many of the rednecks I went to high school with bought 80k+ wranglers and those things broke every month. we are talking about taking it off road maybe three times a year... mostly driving around in the 'burbs.
also- going to get a set of Falkens for the Saab in about a half hour. delightful

according to my boss, "dont take it to town fair tire because my pals dont know how to handle a saab".
well i'm not the kind of guy who is going to pay $250 per installed tire at a saab dealership, so i still went. overall very good experience. got in and out quickly, about 1.25 hours. the alignment was way out of wack, so i'm glad i paid extra to have that taken care of. drives like a fuckin dream right now.

Re: Raptor. Some douchebag at my hospital drives one (why?) and it just looks totally asinine taking up four parking spaces in the underground garage.
If anyone wants an off-road vehicle, they need to get a used up Wrangler, LC, or compact pick-up and have it heavily modified by the local off-road garage. No stock vehicle is going to be able to keep up with other off-roader type dudes. It's a waste of time. And you're also compromising on-road performance and safety by driving something like that. A Wrangler is a death-trap. So, really, if you're into it, you need two vehicles - a commuter car (or whatever) and a purpose built rig.
The end.
