^ Late reply, but perhaps it might've been a Hummer O_o ? I like those.


No, not that big :P
It might have been a Cherokee (this was the late 80s)

That's quite a beast. Dare I ask how many miles you get per gallon?

Haha, it's a little better than my Jeep. I would say that I get roughly 17 Highway / 15 City!

Definitely not the best, but the practical side of having a truck for my purposes outweighs that. When I start working within the hospitals, I'll likely buy a Tesla or some other hybrid for my travels. :)

That's not bad actually, I was expecting the figure to be lower.

I was watching an old episode of Top Gear last night where they tested the new (at the time) Hummer H2... at one point the display was showing 1 mile per gallon. :D

Oh definitely, I'm pretty happy about the mileage. I'm looking to make some engine modifications to hopefully increase the MPG too.

Hummers are horrible when it comes to gas mileage. That's why the practically disappeared in the early 2000s, or at least that's what it seems like. Although, I've been seeing significantly more Hummers on the roads these days, which is a pain because of gas price inflation within the US, lol.

I've just been reading about the car Ferrari swore they would never make - an SUV. :P

It's called the"Purosangue", some info here, though no proper photos yet:

Seems like some odd decisions have been made; while everyone else is going electric or at least smaller turbo assisted smaller engines, Ferrari have stuck a naturally aspirated whopping great V12 in it.

I reckon it makes sense since that's where the demand is going. While, I'm sure for Ferrari, it'll suck to deviate from their intentions, it definitely makes sense to appeal to a larger audience to increase sales, especially in the SUV market.

But hey, I'm all for a V12 Ferrari SUV. :p It definitely sticks out from the rest of the competition and gives another option for consumers.

Yeah, they'd be silly not to. Love 'em or hate 'em, car manufacturers have to follow trends.
Porsche's first SUV turned out to be their best selling vehicle.

At least (from the spy shots I've seen) Ferrari's effort looks pretty, Lamborghini's SUV is absolutely hideous.
