Phil,
No one is ever going to force you to travel where you don't want to, but as a Tiger wannabe or, more properly soon-to-be-owner, I would merely note that:
-- You are a bit too harsh on the rest of the world, including the Third World. There are Americans living and traveling in every nation on earth. And having a great time doing it.
-- A Provan Tiger makes an excellent Third World vehicle, especially with just a little bit of help in the tire/suspension department. For example: http://www.travelin-tortuga.com/Travelin-Tortuga/Home_Page.html
And if that is your Tiger, congrats! The Dodge pop ups are rare beasts.
