You nailed the connection BigJake...the Viggen was also built by Valmet!

Clearly, I'm not a "sensible vehicle" person. Life's too short for that.

Well here goes my favourite Daily Driver of all:
Also have a little VW Passat and.... a Chinese-made mini-van 'dedicated' to transport the dogs (paid $600 for it lol)

Right now my Box is my DD. I had a ZR2 S-10 that the motor locked up in. Need to toss it on Craigslist and get it out of the driveway.
I'm actually wary of not driving my Box regularly. Isn't it when the car sets for a while that the oil creeps into the IMSB and eats up the grease in the bearing?
The car gets decent gas mileage and always fun to drive. Just need some winter tires.

Summer: 2003 Boxster S, 1999 Ford F-250 diesel or 2007 Honda CBR1000RR. Winter, the truck, unless the roads are dry, in which case I often exercise the Boxster.
I know, too many pictures  !

y u do this to me?! Here's what I'll do... give you a rendering of it lol
Meet the Changhe Fun-Yun (Fuyun) microvan. Has a Turbo... and when that turbo kicks-in the motor swings the wipers so fast two flew off the car on different days. I wish I'd be joking. Also, I can fit 3 adults comfortably - one in the front - one in the middle - and one in the back
Second hand: 12,500km, 3months warranty, $600. Beat that brotha

Narrow track with a high CG..........seems like a recipe for disaster. I'd pedal that ride very gingerly indeed!
Just sayin'...........

Well spotted, wow feeling in good hands on this forum I tell ya
You are absolutely right, above 80km is asking for trouble so no highways, etc. Speed limit on sec roads is 60 so we're sort of okay on that but still... extremely dangerous, but there I'll say it "it's fun" lol
Had it for over 24months and put on 1,500km on it max. Its a good car don't get me wrong. extremely useful. Dog's van - not mine

It's mostly the Box to work and home. 55 mile round trip. If the roads are muddy it's the Honda Civic. I'm an Engineer. I have this constant struggle between driving the sexy Porsche and the practical, efficient, cost effective, reliable Honda Civic. It only needs gas/oil/tires. However, My Porsche has not required a lot of maintenance in 1.5 years and nearly 30,000 miles of driving.Just front tires when I bought it and brakes.
