I am by no means an expert, but I think Gustave may be an alligator.
You're very right. How I remember it is that their names are sorta backwards. Alligators have snouts shaped like a C and crocodiles have snouts shaped like an A.
Crocodiles also have way more teeth visible when their mouths are closed, and they are a lot larger.
I miss my station wagon... I had a 99 Cutlass Ciera and it was the best car in the world right up until the transmission finally died 😭
Station wagons rock. My wife is an SUV type. I told her that her style is trash. If they ever bring back the Camry or Accord wagon, I'm so buying one.
Honda cross tours are almost wagons.
whats up with that.
does everyone really want a huge suv instead or are we being gaslighted.
That's all they want to sell is trucks and SUVs. Ford doesn't even make a car in the US anymore, except the Mustang. The Fiesta and Focus are just gone. They really tarnished the 3rd gen Focus name with that DCT. But trucks and SUVs just make them more money. There are only three choices of minivan here (Odyssey, Sienna, and Carnival) and if you want a wagon, you can buy a Volvo V60. But I've never seen one in the wild. Maybe the German luxury brands also sell a wagon here, but if they do, I have no idea they exist. Most of the time, when I see a wagon, it's 20+ years old.
The US also has this fear culture that's been going on at least since the 90s when SUVs really started to take off. I gotta be bigger because bigger is safer. That might be true when you run a red and cream a family of 4 in a Corolla, but most accidents involve a single car, and large trucks and SUVs are horrendous when they're the only vehicle involved.
I was driving a Volvo xc70 with the flip up rear facing third row seats.
That thing was choice.
I could fit so much stuff and friends/family in it and the gas mileage was heaps better than an suv (not amazing but better).
I wish there were more out there being made.
Now I’m driving a Nissan leaf and when I got it titled it was listed as a station wagon which I thought was funny.
Subie Outback gang is here to embrace you
Mine was a 1969 Belair. Damn I miss that thing.
Does Gustave take requests?
He provides exactly what you need, nothing more nothing less.
Gustave once saved my child from the maw of destruction.
I don’t actually have any children but Gustave managed to do it anyway.
Thanks Gustave.
Send this to your local IRS office without context
Gustave, quality's the name
Man-eating is the middle name though. I mean, he didn't choose his name. The parents were a bit short -sighted here, but frankly it's a little too ominous.
Thanks Gustav
A "wrist breaker"? That doesn't sound good, Gustave.
That would explain the way Gustave walks.
Gustave knows what Gustave wants
That's something you don't see anymore, Dad's station wagon. Terminally uncool, built almost exclusively for hemorrhoid comfort, rattles a bit, luggage rack shows significant signs of wear. The socks and sandals of the automobile industry.
as a dad, in the market for a station wagon, there really isn't anything as cool anymore. I still want a roadmaster (in good condition) so bad, nothing better than a huge, wood paneled boat powered by an LT1.
I rode in the back of one of these with 5 other kids on a cross-country trip once. It was glorious.
Hold up. Since when were station wagons considered uncool? My top favourite cars, among those I could realistically afford when I had a decent paying job, are all specifically the station wagon version.
You rock your style, friend. Don't let anyone tell you differently.
Since Clark Griswold drove one under a log truck.
QUICK, GUSTAVE DEMANDS HIS BEXT SACRIFICE
Hopefully nobody's putting that conversion kit into the Buick.
Hey! Is Gustav a friend of Terry the Fat Shark?
Interesting, so to escape the Texan jungles I'll have to change the transmission before Gustav gets back.
I do get the option to kill Gustav when he arrives, but it'll become very hard to work on the transmission and escape with a busted wrist... I'm not sure if I'll survive tbh, I struggle to change a bulb, let alone blow a croc/gator's brains out, let alone change a transmission.
