you probably could get a nice used older 4x4 for that price. it's nice having something bigger here - not only is it safer, but those in the land cruisers tend not to try to bowl me over as much - well at least they think twice.

nice picture in the paper of a land cruiser on it's side - was driven by a 16 year old. what the paper doesn't show is that he took out 2 concrete bollards. must have been going at a criminal rate of speed to have smashed those!

you need something that will give you a fighting chance even if you drive defensively.
