Yeah, but they started buying larger vehicles once I was old enough to have my own car and not need them to cart me around in the backseat.

Most coupes and 3 door hatches have small back seats, and it can get tiring to have your kid's knees poking into your back.

Also folding seats forward and back every time you get in the car. It's just plain easier with a 4 door, even a compact one.

We also had an Escort hatchback. Oh god the all red vinyl interior and the horn on the signal stalk. :barf:

I like the GT90 tread on the tires, though.

In the Top Gear episode first broadcast on October 26 2003, Jeremy Clarkson stated "I actually drove this and it was horrid. It had a top speed of 40 (mph) and it handled like it was in a cartoon".

I'm guessing that even if you could, you wouldn't want to drive it on a public road anyway.

I still like the GT90. Of course it was terrible to drive, but most concept cars aren't able to move on their own at all anyway. Otherwise it looks great now, and even the interior is quite modern and would look much better if they just turned the blue down a bit.

1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Woody, Never used in Winter

This Grand Wagoneer, with a 360 V8 Engine, has 96,150 miles, and is a southern vehicle. The body is in excellent condition, it has been put up under cover every winter so far. We also just fine tuned the vehicle and everything runs great. The only issue with the car is that the rear window sometimes slides off of the track, and needs to be repositioned manually, but a relatively inexpensive fix would take care of this permanently. Please feel free to ask any questions. Please call anytime at (716) 378-3766.

I like to think sometime in the early-mid 90s the head designer at Ford fired up MSPaint, discovered the "create shapes" tool, and went nuts. "I can create triangles! Look! Triangles everywhere! ... Triangles no good? How about ellipses?"

Even the turkey is unimpressed by this bullshit.

Between those two Broncos you have a complete working vehicle, probably. I know this snow makes me miss my mom's '96 4x4. It was a gas guzzler, the suspension was totally shot, but it just did not give a gently caress how deep or icy the snow was.

A buddy of mine picked one up for a raging $150, fully functional no problems. (He has since put a couple thousand miles on it).

Aside from the fact it looks and sounds like a riding lawn mower, it seems to do its job well enough.
