Re: [Paddlewise] vehicle for sea kayakers

I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee and the height and gas mileage are a turn-off. 
It will get you there no matter the access road though and it will work for 
sleeping in, so no tent needed. My work car is an old Mercedes diesel and I 
am seriously thinking of putting some racks on it. The old MBs are mostly 
truck. When I kayak with the club and the boats are on the club trailer I 
take the car and it takes whatever the road dishes out. I think the Subaru 
might be the modern version of this car. Good mileage and tough enough for 
bad access roads. When this car wears out the Subaru wagons would be very 
high on my list of cars for a replacement.
