[geeks] What was Jeep thinking?

[Nina Bersamina]

This reminds me..

I laugh my ass off everytime I think of the "off road"
vehicles back home.  We have roads here that are truly
"primative" I chuckle as I drive thru them, I have a
Isuzu Trooper (2000) and I've already had 2 flats.

One of these days I will post pics of some of the
roads here
