remind her to put a net over the open trunk when she puts your kids and/or groceries in there

>>17370443

shit, forgot pic
(remember kids, drinking beer is bad)

>>17370475
Depends on the tastes of your kids.

Also, if your wife can't drive then I would place her in a Volvo and paint it in a noticable but nice color.

>>17370395
Only if you don't care if your wife and kids die and you have a big insurance policy on them.

Give them something safer.

Buy a samaruai if you can find it for a weekend car

Raised driving position and 4WD is not safe enough?

>>17370705
It's an old car that was known to easily flip over. No airbags, no ABS, no mommy-safe features. It's a great 4x4 but not a great family car.

>>17370705
Those things are complete death traps on public roads.

>>17370732
>It's an old car that was known to easily flip over...
...in rigged tests by Consumer Reports.

ok
what about a Dacia Duster then?

Was about to recommend an old suburban then you notified me that you're europoor

>>17370746
Get an American car if you don't want your wife and children to die in a violent explosion

>>17370738
Then just fucking buy it and shut the fuck up.

>>17370799
Op here
>>17370738 wasn't me
I'm just looking for a cheap/somewhat safe/kind of fun mommymobile
4WD if possible

>>17370836
*and small
the wife is really small

As somebody who's looking for a Tracker, I can safely say I'd never buy something like this for my children. The entire car is a crumple zone.

obligatory

Buy one, lower it, swap in the 13b (been done enough that there are write-ups), give it some slick tires and make sure you've paid up on your life insurance.

I've seen one like that used as a sand rail, probably safer than what I described on the street

>>17370395
It's a horrifically bad idea. Get her something that won't kill her when she brushes gently against a lamp post. Get a subaru or a volvo.

>chopping up a hard top to fit muh oversized tires.

People are so fucking retarded.

>>17370395
Suzuki Samarai is for retards and nu-males. A first gen vitara is better in all aspects that matter.

>>17372730
>Yfw I didn't chop shit
I bought and sold it for 500$, shit didn't even have a floor when I got it

>>17372793
this, the vitara is stronger, safer and you can get a 4 door version

I'm really tired of this safety arms race bullshit like everybody should drive the heaviest armored car they can manage to get for the sake of 'safety' while being a terrible annoyance for the world at large

So what? How dumb should one be to not understand handling of short narrow vehicle with high center of gravity and fucking leaf springs? I mean would you blame mother nature if you fell of a horse because you don't know how to ride a horse?

>>17374683
In case you haven't noticed, most people are fucking retards who refuse to think anything through, and then blame everyone but themselves when they fuck up.

>>17370395
What about the modern vitaras and grand vitaras? Are they all unibody now?

>>17370746
Dacia Duster or Suzuki Vitara? Also considering a Nissa Qashqai

Is the samurai less safe than a jeep of the same year?

>>17375541
They're both on-the-road death traps.

>no airbags
>no roll cage

>How dumb should one be to not understand handling of short narrow vehicle with high center of gravity and fucking leaf springs?
Now that I think about it, dumb like my wife...

>>17375431
I find the Nissan Qashqai kind of gay.
Also the Duster is slowly growing on me.
I mean, look at this shit: http://mudster.ro/en/

>>17375856
Would a 'racechip' completly fuck up everything, or what?
Anyway, I want the hydraulic winch

>>17375856
lmao. duster to a mudster? cute.

aren't these things unibody, though? but i mean, so is the vitara and qashaqi

>nissan post 2008
yeah, youre right... what was i thinking!?

>>17375875
Dacia is a Nissan.

Tracker/Sidekick is better as a DD. And it can do light offloading.

>>17375939
Vitara/Santana in Europe, right?

>>17375960
Not sure. It has a lot of names around the globe (Vitara, Escudo, Sunrunner, etc.) Manufactured from 1988 to 1998.

>>17375981
>It has a lot of names around the globe
Always a good sign.

>>17370395
My friends dad lifted his and put 35s on it for that extra deathtrap feel. I'll see if I find a picture of it

>>17375012
Trucks don't have to have the same safety standard as other vehicles because they are considered "work" vehicles even though 75% are not used for that.
