Anyone in the market for new wheels?

I was fascinated by this new option on the market!  What do you think?

Wow, look at the snow-catchers for winter driving!

Awww, another "Midlife Crisis" car?
Very pretty, very useless, unless you're a "60 something, desperate for attention", male.

All kidding aside, it is a pretty cool looking ride, but completely useless for someone living my lifestyle.

Now if they were to raise it up a couple of feet, make it all wheel, or 4X4 drive, never flat tires, Kevlar all around, with a 60 mm cannon mounted somewhere, anywhere, then we can talk.

I couldn't afford the gas that beast uses. What does it get, one block to the gallon?

Zero to 60 in 2-point-whatever? Better send the refueling tanker on ahead of you, to wait until you blow through 30 gallons to reach the end of your driveway.

  My neighbor keeps saying you only live once.  That's why he owns and fly's a jet now.  Cars would not go fast enough for him.

Yeah, my husband used to fly but finally got past the thrill of it.... 

I've always preferred the terra firma.....  having flown (not as pilot) hundreds of thousands of miles... maybe over a million, I now detest flying..... the smell of an aircraft turns my stomach.... 

But I have always liked power performance autos.  When we were young we had a 1971 Stingray...silver w/red interior T-top.  We had so much fun with that car!!

But our lifestyle changed as we started our international career...... but we have great memories!

I first flew in an open-cockpit biplane, flown by such a guy. He and his wife much later tried a landing and snagged on power lines, crashing and killing them. They knew the risks and died doing what they loved.

Your experience is similar to my hiusband's.  He first flew in an open cockpit bi-wing crop duster!!

Military passenger flights in the belly of a C-130 (or worse yet on dependents' flights with babies screeching over eardrum pressure) made even a Detroit/Atlanta Delta flight tolerable in comparison. I've flown to Dallas/Ft. Worth and from and back to San Fran International. Ohare, o'course. I think the largest was a 727 but I'm probably wrong. Definitely a bunch of CD-10s.

But nothing, and I do mean nothing, beats wearing those goggles and riding the wind as it blasts you in your face, the engines screaming and your blood rushing to your head as you fight your seat-straps screaming, "Curse you, Red Baron!"

  Right, that is how my husband got the bug to become a pilot.  It was in his blood from his youth.  He wanted an ultra light also but too risky for a young man with a young family to support.  He was always very cautious about protecting the family from financial ruin.  Disability was not an option! 

But he enjoyed flying for a number of years in a slightly larger aircraft.

My neighbor said it cost him 3.000$ an hr. to fly his jet.
