TEX RECLAIMS SEVERAL MILLIMETRES OF MANHOOD

Peer group pressure works. Tex is now considering several acceptable means of transport. Although the rogue inclusion of a Vitara indicates that pressure must remain cruelly high right up until purchasing day.

A Suzuki Vitara is a Daihatsu Terios that has had hormone replacement therapy.
What is it with "four wheel drives" that don't have transfer cases? Their main purpose in life seems to be making tank traps of themselves on Queensland beaches by burying themselves up to their spindly little axles in sand and corroding.

Anyway, why not get a fully sick Skyline with a full doof kit, bro? It's grouse for getting chicks, and fatties can't fit in the bucket seats, eh. You might even get a grant to pull donuts if you can pass yourself off to the Oz Council as a Chocko.

Why not go the whole hog and get a WRX?

Fuck it, buy a Goldwing, it has the same stuff and looks more impressive.

No. If I'm buying a car, it's going to be a 4-wheel car.

Hey Scott!! I'll buy that red car you were driving. GIve ya $50 for it

All cars have transfer cases. It's how 2 axles spinning in different planes can transfer torque. Some cars however lack the appropriate number of said cases, or have cases that can't handle the job they were design to.

Also, the XR6 Turbo is one of the hottest cars ever made. You can crank the boost on the turbo up to 18psi, and easily get 300+ kW and bulk torque.
