How's that lazy mans automatic transmission working for you guys? lol. Was at work a year or two back, whole parking lot froze over, i was parked next to one of the girls brand new BMW 5 series, she hadowned a big 4x4 for years always claiming that it was vital and that she needed it, which was correct, right up until her husband offered her the beamer, then she wouldn't hear a word against it, she sat there for 10 minutes with the work force rocking her car while she aimlessly span he wheels, i put mine in reverese, released the clutch slowly and drove off

Aye, i love my little skoda because it's cheap to run and a really fun little car, but i do wish i could have my old range rover back, alas it was too expensive to run as there were only a handful of places selling LPG at the tie so just ended up using lots of petrol pretty much invalidating the purpose of the LPG conversion. fuel is EXPENSIVE in the UK, really fucking expensive. Even my little skoda will be £50+ to fill up. That's currently 1/3 of a weeks wages.

Interesting, mine is a 2000 Nissan Frontier, I picked it up for $7000 and its never let me down.
Yeah, we use my wife's Subaru as our daily driver. We got 5" snow last night, which is getting rare, so I wanted to go play before it all melted.

Mine is an '02 Mazda B2300, 5 speeds, rear wheels driven. It gets pretty good gas mileage for a wheeled sandal. But its only winter sport is curling. cn

My wife's Subaru is one of them newer multi-transmissions with the clutchless shifting. I feel better knowing I can shift when I need to going up and down hills and shit but my left foot still feels like a dumbass, lol.
I was actually looking at one of those with 4x4 before I decided on the 4x4 Nissan. Its a Ford Ranger pretty much right?

Basically, except that in '02 I could get one with 6 miles on the clock for eleven even. Not so with the Ranger.
And to get 4wd you had to opt for the accursed V6. Homey doan play dat.
And nobody makes anything like it any more. They're all much heavier today. I really think a 1.6 liter turbodiesel trucklet would be a wonderful market addition. cn

Not that I see much snow down here south of the Mason -Dixon line, but I have an Expedition XLT EL that would go through just about anything. But I am still somewhat partial to my OLD 1990 Mitsubishi Montero. When still in the car business I took it in on trade, less than a year old at the time, and practically stole it. I wrote up enough other used vehicles by $1,000.00 each to cover what I put on the Montero and brought it home. It was like brand new. It holds a tremendous amount of sentimental value for me, but it's also a real champ when the going gets rough. A number of years back we had one good snowfall, 27 inches, and in 4-wheel high 'Mitzi' cut right through it like a hot knife through butter. What we do get down here most winters is ice storms and 'Mitzi' sticks to the icy road like she's got both studs and glue on her tires.

Nothing like a Harley on the snow... I like to dress up like that fag shit head that has that Orange County Chopper show and look badass like him... Put my Dew Rag and my sleevless leathers on and ride in the snow like the rest of the Harley wanna be's...

Look at the Honda Helix, either Honda or Toyota...been years since I saw them in Costa Rica. 2.?L turbo diesel, 30+nog, full 4x4. Pretty badass.
And as said by Brick Top, South of the MasonDixie we don't get much snow, but those late summer hurricanes and thunderstorms flood our city BAD. Hilarious to plow thru in my Z71 on 34"s.

In the States the Honda Helix was a scooter.
They don't sell Diesels here except for the heavies intended for stockyard work or towing those colossal snowbird fifth wheels. cn
