My first vehicle was an old WWII Peter Boyko's dad had out in the back
yard under canvas...we rebuilt it that summer. Was 15 at the time and
off roading became a life long love...even though Peter's dad took it
away from us after a few trips up to the local mountains...we didn't have
our drivers licenses yet...
Buddies all had CJ5's when my Dune Buggy didn't cut it in the comfort
and carry area. Discovered the Toyota FJ40 and bought a used one for $2K
The CJ's could out run me in speed but when climbing and crawling...the
full underbelly pan played HUGE. Just fun jawing on my part...they HATED
my FJ...of course all in-line six's. The CJ V6 wasn't a match
Back on the Q7...was going by memory and now find that they have a new
one. Much smaller and new platform...MLB2 platform...which now includes
the Bentley Bentaga SUV
Very much a personal thing, but I'll not take any of these overly complex
vehicles too far off the beaten path...
PS...my Sub K3500 really can't get to my secret place...just close
enough to hike the remaining miles...
