So you're the one who coined the phrase, "Hideous Awesomeness," Carl! That's an awesome term. My wife likes your wording, and so do I -- it definitely fits the subject it intends to describe!
We're REALLY glad we bought it. Two days ago, my 24 year-old son and I took it up in the mountains on a road that our family has intentionally kept really ROUGH for more than a century, as it leads into the land my Oregon pioneer great-grandfather homesteaded. Because it's kept so rough and rutted, people don't drive on it much; but the large YELLOW Happy Bumblebee AWD LeSharo rolled along with a decently-smooth ride akin to a Cadillac Escalade -- those big ol' 33-inch balloon tires help a lot, of course -- not to mention the 6,820-pound weight. After riding along in it, we stopped beside a merrily-flowing creek that's a traditional and peaceful stop for us, and my son commented, "You'll never regret buying this rig." I agreed, wholeheartedly -- I've driven A LOT of rigs on that rough, volcanic cinder road over the decades of my life, and the "Hideous Awesomeness" of the YELLOW LeSharo is THE BEST RIG I've ever driven up there! Nope, I'll NEVER regret buying it . . .
