I hope she knows how to drive.both are superfluous...Wranglers are actually very reasonable, and used ones with the 4 cylinder are rather cheap. We were traveling to the Great Wall, and a Jeep Grand Cherokee passed us. Grand Cherokees are not seen that often in China. Our driver asked if this was an expensive car in America. I said more expensive than some, less than others. He said he couldn't afford to drive because of the gas consumption adding that in China this type of car was called a "petrol tiger". I laughed at the similarity, saying in America it's called a "gas hog". Link to comment

MarkD Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 My fiancee would like a Porche. She likes to tease me about that because she knows that we can't afford one. I sent her a Hot Wheels Porche to be funny. After she arrives we will go car shopping. She prefers white or silver and not Japanese. Link to comment
Robert S. Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 I don't think she means a brand name Jeep. My wife and daughter call all SUVs by the name jeep. Link to comment
Dan R Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Mark get her driver's license and add her to your insurance first before shopping. Does every state's insurance charge more than double for adult new drivers like California? It will be like having a teen driver all over again Shop carefully some insurance will accept Chinese driving experience with documentation as being an experienced rather than new driver. That should save over $1000 per year for the first three years. Enough for the down payment. Link to comment
pkfops Posted June 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 When she says Jeep she means SUV. I'm glad it is something we can use for the mountains. She says she knows how to drive but I'm sendingher to driving school. Red light means stop. No horn honking either. Link to comment
skibum Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 We have a Jeep Cherokee and now Yirong wants a Wrangler! She says the Cherokees are called Jeeps in China but so are any simular cars. She did not like my Porsche which I sold last year. Link to comment

I thought most members said Chinese girls are fugal and not materialistic like American girls. Link to comment

Unless maybe frugal means in Chinese don't spend much on little things, we need big money for big things. Link to comment

Rule of "Right of Way" in China. The biggest has the right of way. Unless you are a cop, then you can walk down the middle of the streetat rush hour. I've seen that. A cop on foot points to a car to pull over then walks though traffic to talk to the driver. Link to comment
