My sister went back to our country (Peru, where I keep my Ssangyong Rexton), so she borrowed it to drive around there. Apparently she was on her way to meet my father, and she was being followed..., when she parked four men got out from the other car carrying guns and pointed them at my sister, my dad, my dad's girlfriend, and the guard.
They took my truck, and pretty much everything material including documents, smartphones, watches, wallets, jewelry.. but at least it was all material stuff and everyone was ok.
I really loved that truck, it was a 5 speed with 4-low, 5-cylinder turbodiesel, turbo timer, unbreakable windows, and best of all it could take a beating.
Here are photos from a few months ago when I was down there to pick it up, and we took it on a long roadtrip up on the Peruvian Andes Mountains, I drove that truck through roads that featured on "World's Deadliest Roads", where there is very little oxygen, no guardrails, and 1 skinny dirt lane which you gotta share with cars and trucks coming the other way. You loose control for 1 second, everyone's dead.

right after picking it up:
This is the beginning, the road hadn't narrowed down yet, gotta start climbing:
the only road on Huancaya, here there is so little oxygen everyone was getting sick and/or having heart problems:
Back home, parked next to my grandfather's Citation and Blazer:
It's an amazing truck, they should sell it in the U.S., it averages 30MPG!! I would probably buy another one..
