04-30-2011, 02:40 PMJape, if I had to have a car, that's the kind I'd have. Last week I drove halfway across Shandong in a similar, but surely lesser, Chinese-made minivan (they're called breadbox cars in Chinese), and it did fine for hours on end at 110 kph with six people and a load of gingko fruit inside.
Bigger is not better, though you need to drive even more defensively, and stay away from congregations of aggressive speeding SUVs -- i.e., the expressways.
Nice choice. Is that your actual vehicle, or a facsimile? As you yourself are wont to say: Without pictures it don't exist!
How's the writing project going?
