Ski Cars

[wa-loaf]

The funny thing about Colorado - I thought it was an environmentally conscious state with focus on green energy and recycling. There are more darn pickups and SUVs here than I have ever seen. The #1 selling AWD - Subaru.

I was just in the Durango area visiting my mom and doing some skiing. A truck is pretty much required, they live on a steep dirt road that was covered in snow. Also there seem to be a ton of rough roads to access hiking and backcountry stuff, you won't get out there without 4WD and some clearance.

There certainly is a lot of off road access

Is this thing on the road yet? Coming back from Vermont yesterday we saw an odd looking Porsche with a ski rack in Whitehall, NY. It wasn't a Cayenne or a Macan and it was definitely something we'd never seen before. I didnt really like the look of it, frankly, but I was mostly just surprised to see a ski rack on a Porsche.

This says to me, "I live in a cardboard box and subsist solely on a diet of Ramen noodles, but I have a nice car".

Have to agree, both that Raptor and that Ram just look cartoonishly silly to me. Like the Chevy though.

What really amazes me is how expensive pick-up trucks have gotten. They used to be point A to point B work trucks that you can scratch & bang up on a farm, now they're tens-of-thousands of dollars. I cant really appreciate that. Is anyone who owns a raptor really hauling manure in it or casually tossing nail-embedded 2x4s in the back? I doubt it.

My dad is looking at these cars. I has been trying to get a pickup for years but keeps ending up with hatchbacks. All he caries is skis, bikes and groceries an its plenty of space. He tried to make my first car a Baja when i was in high school. I told him I would drive his car to school every day.

We use our Audi on powder days. Never need to shovel or snow blow the driveway before we leave, just bust through.


Most the other days we use the vanagon.


Just picked up an Alltrack. Will eventually replace the Audi.

Pickups have a longer wheelbase. They are a PITA to pull into most spaces as the center lane is narrow enough you must take two or three cuts to get it in straight. Backing in it only takes one pass to get it in and get it square.

Backing in also makes pulling out safer and easier. Especially if you have a long box.

Looks like I was quick to declare the Porsche the ultimate ski car. I didn't realize this existed.

Speaking of Maserati...there was a Maserati Q4 Ghibli in my condo parking lot this weekend...

I think it's got some competition: http://www.bentleymotors.com/en/models/bentayga/bentayga.html, unfortunate choice in names aside.
