It is called a +2 because it has rear seats but they are just kid sized.	Toyota’s answer to the older Jeep Gladiators.	Had one of these when on Guam, it too had an automatic too.

If you are going to be literally buzzing around in one of these, might as well look like a bee.	This is great for off-road adventuring and could almost work as my touring pick as well.	I could actually live long-term with this car, unlike the first two picks this week.

This BAT seller is located in Portland, OR and always has some very nice cars listed. And the way the cars are photographed always make for great computer wallpaper.

Seen a few of these before and never saw one that made me go “Wow”, until this one.	This is probably the 10th Defender I have chosen for this spot, so that it is now almost cliché.	This was a close winner over my cliché car for this spot, an early 2000s BMW M5.

This is really more a track car than road going sports car, but it fit my theme.	Perfect for carrying those 4′ x 8′ plywood sheets way off the beaten path.	All the cats and chicks can get their kicks at the hop…Let’s go!

These are Miata-like while driving, except for the very long shift throw.	A Transsyberia Tribute from Canadian which is Siberia-like.	It is a GT3 Touring with no monster wing on the back, so it is sleeper-like.
