Pimp our Rides!

A lot of people are inspired here by the temporary nature of the assignment and choose to get "kimchi" cars, or beaters. The choicest vehicles are about $1500.

One car that we never thought we would own is a minivan. This lovely car comes pre-dented so you don't have to worry about driving the crazy Korean roads. We like to think of it as our "badge of courage." Other cars see this damage and know that we don't mess around. It's very freeing. Also makes parking a complete joy! We're never afraid to park too close! And worrying about pesky door dings is a thing of the past! This van comes with air conditioning that actually works, which is a plus since the driver's side window won't roll down on occasion. Oh, and the transmission is questionable at best. Did I forget to mention the leaky side door?







Another car that we NEVER thought we would own is a Ssayong Korando. It's sorta like a Jeep Cherokee, except NEVER that nice. The plush interior is all that protects Ainsley from the rusted through holes exposing him to the elements. It's a manual, has no air conditioning and smells like fuel. It's newest feature is a fully removable driver's seat. The bolts attaching it to the floor have also rusted through so it's not longer actually attached to the frame of the car. All this for only $600! Good thing it's only a 5 minute drive to base!
























Place your bets now as to whose car will still be running at the end of our assignment!
