pretty cool.

the "lance armstrong of off road racing" is a bit of a stretch though

[Roberto Miranda]

yeah, I know... but it is a fun news... specially for me, that drove a Lexus for off-road !!!

[NAILER341]

i know... it is pretty cool that you drive the hell out of your lexus. i'll bet they give you funny looks at the dealership

[Roberto Miranda]

I have funny looks wherever I go… specially for the huge band-aid sticker to cover some dents…

If we are in caravan going for a trip, in the freeway you can see the kids pointing to the truck, and all other Jeep guys in the club said via CB: “That is just another freaking Land Cruiser” is not big deal… 

Ordering spare parts is also quite an experience, sometimes, I have no clue of the name in English for something that I need, I know the name in Spanish, but that doesn’t help much… anyways, sometimes the sales person needs to come out, so I can point the spare part that I need… and they give me the funny look… with a truck like that, and you have no clue about the name, so I explain them, and we both laugh…
