True, it's all a matter of how you intend on using your car, how your lifestyle is, and how your car fits into it. That's perhaps the single most important consideration when first choosing on what to buy; a hardcore sports-car, family saloon, SUV, off-roader, van, etc. If you don't need it, and it doesn't suit your life, don't buy it.
It's when you get to use your cars the most, that's where the enjoyment lies, and for you, it's having an off-roader to get adventurous and into the unknown. It's just a shame that some buy awesome cars, and are more than able to drive them day to day, but choose not to. At that point, it becomes a waste.
That's me in both of these videos...The top one was at my driving test when I was 16...I passed...The second was me heading down to Woolworths when I heard they had 50% off corn chips and salsa dip.
Jesus, what kind of roads do you have around you. No wonder you have a Land Cruiser! But hey, browsing around Twitter has yielded me some interesting knowledge to share with you... An off-road/rally capable Land Rover Discovery, with a BMW E36 M3 straight-6 engine, and loads of wild tuning.
Just look at it go, and sound! Maybe I'll make a post of it someday... :-O
