You all are sissies.

I drive a Suburban with Level IV Armor Protection, and for my paint job I went with "Urban Jungle Camouflage" complete with refractive coating to throw off laser guided ordinance as well as a thermal masking coat around the engine block and exhaust systems.

However I recognize there are different tastes, I myself used to drive a Laforza with the "Woodland Jungle" pattern in my more outdoorsy/guerrilla fighting youth.

But go ahead and drive your yellow or silver or beige target, I mean "vehicle". Don't come whining to me when some LG warhead tracks your non-refractive painted car and blows you all the way to Tora Bora.



haha...Steels +1 for teh funny

Gas milegage is horrible, even for a toyota.

No rooftop tents, but I did go to the Grand Canyon this past week for a bit of camping and off roading. it's a lot of fun, not my daily driver. Daily driver is a 2005 Camry, which gets 400+ miles to the tank!

But you get a lot of looks and comments on the color!

haha

I have often heard Asians and Westerners alike speak of how there's such a significant cultural difference between East Asia and Europe / North America. To me the commonalities are much more essential, and the differences comparatively superficial. The differences are obvious, so that's what people notice and take to represent the whole.

I find it more of the opposite. Korea is superficially almost identical to the west. If you go to any major shopping mall it looks almost exactly the same as in the west and most modern facilities are the same in Korea and the west. Some of the Confucian thinking is on the other hand something I wouldn't consider superficial, and something that can take a lot of time and practice to get used to. Family values, life goals, social barriers, childhood problems and inspirations are things I've found vastly different in Korea than from home, while material things are 90% the same. Of course all humans share the same basic psychology, so if you take it one step further we are again just the same, but in that sense all cultures would be the same.

The hatchbacks seem to have good variety. Lots of goofy colored matizes out there


But most people who drive sedans seem to go for low key colors.

Sedans, coup�s, SUVs, etc. It's mostly just the new small hatchbacks that come in different colors.

But "low key colors" is understatement. I mean, isn't tan pretty low key? Instead of low key colors, it's more like simply, colors.
