Why don't you just get a halftrack and be done with it? Sports Car
Graphic, 40 years or so ago, proposed one to be made by Ferrari. g

Since I need a car that I can actually drive on roads, my '07 Outback
Sport fills the two deer and gear spec.

BTW, you probably would have gotten along with the Citroen DS19.

You just pushed a button and the sucker jacked up 10 inches on all
four wheels.

However, with all those curves, it was a bitch finding a place to lash
a deer, without it sliding off.


There was a station wagon DS with roof rack...

Sometime in the early '60's, I went with my dad to look at a used DS for
sale. The most distinctive memory I have is that the seats were so soft
I sank into them and didn't like it much.

That car search ended up with the purchase of a '57 MG Magnette.

Neat to look at but I remember a succession of cracked valve heads.
