however nothing for Ravin?

Come on Shyam sir,

you may not use the word " s**y " to describe your ride, but you know deep in

the bottom of your heart that thats what your SUV is... SUVs, sports cars,

convertibles all scream " s**y " and beg the owner to ride them. I own an SUV

myself , although not a AWD and certainly not a V8, yet I know I got the SUV

not for the " space " part of it, but I got it because it was sexy...!!! We

all go for bigger badder meaner cars, and more muscle the car has, the

better it is... I have driven a lot of V6 cars and I know what kind of

adrenaline rush you can get out of those kind of engines. I can just imagine

how you must feel cruising on that V8 engine..... !!!

If it was not, then we would have (GASP) Mini Vans to drive...!!!
