This rancher needs a pickup for his water buffaloes - Dallas Morning News
My Italian water buffaloes, African pygmy goats, ex-racehorses and Rhodesian Ridgebacks are requesting your masterful insight to find the perfect car for their transportation needs. I am pondering a replacement for my beloved 1998 Toyota RAV4. It still runs great, but my human friends refuse to ride with me anymore, given the fur and hay embedded in every interior inch, the dog-claw scratches on windows and tiny goat poops tucked into crevices. I want a new RAV4, and I’ll keep my original as a shuttle for the dogs when we go to the beach. The reason your friends won’t ride with you isn’t the hay or the dog scratches — it’s the stench. So one suggestion would be to separate the people compartment from the animal compartment. You and your friends can ride up front, and Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom could ride in the back in a cargo compartment that can be hosed out. If you really can’t stand the idea of having two vehicles, the one car that would most meet your needs would be a used Honda Element. They stopped making it in 2011, apparently because the Italian water buffalo transportation market wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. And the Element’s mileage isn’t that much better than what you’d get in a new Toyota Tacoma. Source: www.dallasnews.com
