The car I drive was only $22k new and it’s able to drive moderate jeep trails and get me deep into the forest and up mountains on unmaintained roads/trails which when I’m not on a trip for work, that’s where I’m going. You can’t rent vehicles like that in my area. I have a Thule hard sided cargo carrier on the roof to hold the extra gear.

This is why there are no plans to try to sell something like this in the US. I drive three hours each way on day-trips fairly often, and a couple times a year I drive around 1000 miles per day for longer trips. Even people who live in cities with short commutes often want to travel to places several hours away pretty regularly. Here you can drive for hours and hours and hours and not even leave the state. It’s not like we can take a train either.

Do you suspect me of a crime? Am I being detained?
