That'll get it there fast too - and loud, probably quite loud with a 2 stroke screaming in your ears.

I was more concerned with the wrapping of one's legs around the fuel tank...

Good idea. Having four Corrados almost (almost) guarantees that at any given time you will have at least one running car. The same rule applies to Range Rovers.

Nothing at the moment, but looking to pick up a clean 2007 Lexus GX 470. MUCH cheaper then the Toyota Land Cruiser but essentially the same car.

I hear they will run 400+K miles.

It is definitely a labor of, well, I don't know - stupidity? stubbornness? to keep a 30 year old German POS running, not to mention four of them. I wouldn't have it any other way; I like a challenge.

I thought the market had figured that out already. I want one of those, too.

The GX shares a chassis with the 4Runner, the LX is the Land Cruiser equivalent. My wife drives an LX570, the same price (or cheaper) on the used market as a Land Cruiser, but it is WAY more car for the money. The interior quality of the Lexus counterparts compared to the Toyotas is ridiculous, it's like they aren't even from the same manufacturer.
