Brilliant! I'm with Dylan, I love this idea! Oh, to be a rich man...
Hehe, yes... I believe Natasha is the first woman to register here I love the red leather coat. Très chic! (Not to confuse with more languages... hehe.)
Oh, I wish Toyota had brought the later models to the US. Nice looking car! I'm surprised it's a FWD, not AWD... it was in one of the videos posted a while back, right?
Centurion... I love the avatar image! Old school Battlestar Galactica FTW! (Старая школа Battlestar Galactica для победы! -- if that translated right)
It's funny, I'm not sure exactly the difference between AWD and 4WD. I always thought 4WD meant one front tire will spin, and one rear tire will spin (but on opposite sides). And that AWD meant all four wheels spin all the time. Looking for info on Wikipedia, etc. doesn't seem to clarify anything very much...
Natasha needs an upgrade to 4WD Kidding, kidding...
1) FullTime 4WD with respect to 4 wheel cars, with center diff (All-Trac/Carib for example ) 2) or All Wheel Drive with respect to 6, 8 etc wheel cars (army trucks for example)
4WD is PartTime 4WD without center diff. Toyota HR-V, for example.
Wikipedia says:
All-wheel drive (AWD) is often used to describe a "full time" 4WD that may be used on dry pavement without damaging the differentials, although the term may be abused when marketing a vehicle.[3] AWD can be used on dry pavement because it employs a center differential, which allows each axle to rotate at a different speed. This eliminates driveline binding, wheel hop, and other driveline issues associated with the use of 4WD on dry pavement. For vehicles with more than four wheels, AWD means all wheels drive the vehicle, to varying degrees of engagement, while 4WD means only four of the wheels drive the vehicle continuously. For example, an AWD vehicle with six wheels is often described as a 6×6, the M35 2½ ton cargo truck being one of the best-known examples (dual wheels on the rear axles are not counted as additional drive wheels).

This sort of makes sense. Recall that in the All-Tracs/Caribs/AE95, we normally drive with the Center Differential UNLOCKED, so that each axle can spin as it needs to given the road conditions at the time but each axle still gets power. But when we press that Center Differential Lock button, it locks the front and rear axle so they spin at the same time. Useful on ice and snow, but must be done at low speeds.

LOL... speaking of M35, a friend of mine almost bought one recently. (http://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/cto/2132778206.html) I think he realized his parents would kill him for having that in front of the house... although that would be really freakin' awesome!
Thanks for the article clip... maybe it was changed since the last time I read it (probably a year ago or so). That does make a lot of sense.
Natasha, as long as you like or love the car as it is, that's all that matters! But just think, you could plow through snow or mud with less worry about getting stuck
