“It’s the station wagon of the 21st century. 20th as well actually.”
Good, basic, point. I used to think all SUV’s were 4WD. Not many are.
Most cars sit really low, so they are difficult to get in unless you are really short. If you look at cars built in the late 30’s, they are like SUVs in seating position as well.
“I used to think all SUV’s were 4WD. Not many are.”
If you dive a little deeper you’ll find many are actually front wheel drive.......which is not a good design IMO.
Personally I have avoided FWD vehicles like the plague....to the point I steered my wife from a Japanese import to a German import primarily for that very reason.
“”If you look at cars built in the late 30’s,””
I hope that was a typo!!!!
I remember my dad had a used “30” something Buick which served the family well....even had one (no idea of year) that had a trunk - like a real trunk sitting on the back. That had to be really old. For hauling - we had horses and wagons LOL!!
Are you old enough to remember when hitchhikers were picked up on rural roads and they stood on the running boards of the cars to their destination? In the ‘40’s and even into the ‘50’s, that was the way of getting around for many guys.
During the war, there were a lot of servicemen hitchhiking. My dad would pick them up and they would sometimes spend the night at our farmhouse.
