It's a JEEP thing, they wouldn't understand. lolCollege you say? Jeep is the only answer! Womenz love the jeeps! And not those cars with a jeep badge, get one with round headlights.
It's a JEEP thing, they wouldn't understand. lol
Ok, let me rule out a few suggestions for you:
BMW: He probably can't afford to keep it running
Land Rover: Engineered by the Devil to continuously break. Land Rover owners are known for their ability to ignore being hit with baseball bats.
Volvo: About as reliable as an M1A2 Abrams. In other words, not.
Jaguar: Engineered by someone who steals souls.
Mercedes: Runs on hopes and dreams and lots of $$$. Falls apart slightly less often than Land Rover.
Subaru: Inspires people to try to drive like a professional autocross driver. Success rate is low.
Jeep: Built for the day that Hell freezes over. All the good ones don't have doors or windows.
All the ones I didn't list are probably a better choice.
.....and the GRUNT factor is enormous!M35A3 of course snow is no issue and those pesky folks that tailgate no issue either... and chicks dig military trucks too!!!
You are welcome to bring any xterra and attempt to follow one of my jeeps. I have stock, lightly modified and heavily modified so bring any xterra you want. The only category an xterra can beat jeep is on road every day comfort.
