    This little thing is like a poor man's G vagen. Love it. Manual 4x4. Mayan ruins, croc, lizards, so beautiful here.

    For a family mover I could be totally fine with a Jimmy for daily and fun and an older van or something for a family mover on vacations.

Your first pic is actually a big alarm sound chamber for when a hurricane hits it howls. You must of gone up Mr. Eiffel’s light house he designed?FA8F7344-3633-4BCA-8F34-B68956095179.jpg

    Who cares? This never shows everything anyway.
    I wanted a Jimny so bad. Actually, I wanted a Samurai before I got my 4Runner in 2020. I had seen those little Suzuki Jeepalikes over the years and wanted one. I came to find Suzuki was out of the US market in terms of cars for 10 years, the Samurai was out of the US market for 25 years, and currently everything was bigger than the dump I took this afternoon. It took some work, that dump. It didn't want to come out easily. I showed it who's boss, though. I even got it to flush first try. The 5th gen 4Runner is the most American vehicle made in Japan. Made for big shitters like me.

    I saw a Ranger there. It was different than the U.S. Rangers. Looked a lot more “roomier”.

    Your Tulum trip brings back great memories for me. Did you check out Xel Ha? I suspect that was more interesting in the 1980s when I was there because now it looks like a water park resort.

    That “Dirty” is still awesome as hell. Don’t do the river float crap, go get flippers a mask and swim to where the lagoon meets the ocean. The guy will come throw bait fish out as you swim.

    They can’t sell the Suzukis here because you guys go out and do 80mph on the interstate in snow and ice.
