We’re thinking a Volvo C303 would do nicely. Preferably the 6×6 hard top.

We’re calling ours the “UniHorgh.”

I surrender.

I posted that after reading the comments below the “SUV” question of the day.

I guess you missed the part where most of the TTAC readers are against E85.

I’m guessing this runs on E85 and is towed to the race by a Prius in order to pacify TTAC regulars that believe no one needs a truck/SUV.
