And a buyer with a mental problem.

Gotta love that sissy-ass bumper too.

It's the electric retractable canvas roof that really makes this a darn good deal :wink:

The meter of clearance is the headroom in the back seats :D

You don't need a lot of ground clearance for where this rig is going -- to Harret's for fancies :roll:

A meter - a unit of distance closely related to a cubit. Obviously!

But it does appear to have Portals...
