Give me your opinions, what should i get: toyota landcruiser, bmw x5 or porsche cayenne?
Those are the options that my dad is giving me, I have a month to chose and no, if I crash it the insurance will cover me.
So what do you all think?
Personally I'm leaning towards the x5 ----------------------- Senior Sergeant David "TK-112" Bowman - Master Chef

Well I actually AM paying for it myself... My dad only wants to include it as part of the family's insurance if it's one of those three cars.
And Raz, I'm planning to do a bit off roading but it's more sand dunes and beaches rather than bushland. ----------------------- Senior Sergeant David "TK-112" Bowman - Master Chef

Elch, who wants a Camero? My buddy and I are fixing up a '65 Mustang.
My buddy doesn't like my idea, but since the Mustang is already the same color as the "General Lee," I want to paint a 34-star flag on the roof and call it the "General Grant." ----------------------- SC/WO1 Chipmunk Man/Aegis 1/Phoenix/mSSD Atrus/DEF/VEN/VE/(=A=)(=SA=)(=*MA*=)[LoC][MC:1]x3[LSM][VC:B]

I wish i had a camero, although i might just be picking up a '64 convertible Mustang with ye ole 302 in it. New cars are just a pain in the arse to work on, all the computers and crap in them that muck everything up once you start modifying, yack.
I'll only buy cars that are emissions exempt, i don't want to buy a new car then have spend all that money by-passing emissions just to put all that garbage back on every six months and have it re-tested, it's a waste of my time and energy. Also new cars seem to be made out of plastic, they just can't take the kind of abuse i dish out. Seriously, Airbags have popped out while i driving, it was a bloody nuisance, they sit too low too, anytime you catch a little bit of air or you have to go over a small bump you scrape bottom, which tends to lead to lost pieces. Only redeeming feature of new cars in the handling and the handbrake.
I miss my Bronco's and my Wag, my Wag was awesome.
Oh, and Chip, the General Lee is a Charger, much cooler.

Toyota is one of the few imports i trust, but then the 05's haven't really earned my respect either, they're too geared for the road, kind of breaking with the 'yota tradition there. ----------------------- {Comnet Hermit}
