Default planning a trip

i'm hopefully going to get an opportunity over summer to take a trip into the Yukon - mainly Dawson City where the beginning of the Top of the World Highway begins and goes west. I plan to go by car, but I don't know if i should drive the GSR or the Jeep. Anyone wanna join?

I'd love to, and yes I did look that highway up. Cragy I must say.

Now which car is more mechanically sound......

right now...it's a toss-up :happysad:

GSR - blew another ignitor (2nd one in 1 year), really low, uncomfortable seats, exhaust resonation would make me go deaf....but has sex appeal, speed, manual, doesn't shake at 75+ mph like the Jeep, good gas economy, cd player, moonroof (for driving at night through Canada and seeing the stars w/o any pollution), sex appeal

Jeep - passenger floor is rusting out and i don't know how advanced the cancer is, guzzles gas like Lil' Kim guzzles semen, very high mileaged....but has plush leather seats, smooth suspension, 4wd, space

I'd go with the GS-R until I saw this. Not sure about the sex appeal part but I'm sure it'll be much more fun to drive than the Jeep with cancer. Have fun with your gas card, these prices are ridiculous.

yeah I wouldn't even attempt it in the GSR. By the time you get home your paint will have fallen off and your rims will be junk along with your windshield
