The "Mesh Expedition Hard Top" is the Short Wheelbase version of my "Mesh Expedition Station Wagon". It is fully functional. It drives physically. No avatar attachments (besides the Speedometer HUD). It has a land impact of 43. This is the amount this model will count against your parcel prim limit.

To drive the car use arrow, or WASD and PageUp/PageDown keys as usual.

so first i looked up how long ago this was released and its been 11 years and i'm sure this creator has kept updating it because still in 2023 this is an amazing vehicle. his own driving script is pretty good (better than most) a friend let me demo hers and i love how it drives and then omg the mesh on the outside body is incredible, very high detail and it doesnt disappear when u zoom out and it looks so realistically like the RL car. it is no modify yes but the options u get in return,u dont really miss that unless u want to play gtfo with it. i love it, worth every linden to add to your collection too

Updated Review for 2022 - Good but could be better.

Posted January 02, 2022 by KjartanEno

I originally wrote: Vehicles in SL can be a bit of a mixed bag. Too often that shiny coat of paint dissolves quickly to a crumpled mess from poor LOD, or the road physics feel like an inconvenient afterthought on the creator's part. Well, here is a fine example of vehicles-done-right! It looks great and won't vaporize to pixel garbage at reasonable camera distances. There are lots of paint colors and options available in the menu. I've driven down roads on the mainland and it turns and tracks quite well. There are many nice touches too. It can leave tire tracks and skid marks. You can select different dust types. When parked, it will leave a 'shadow' on the ground. All in all, very recommended!

Update: I still enjoy driving this vehicle. However, it is NO MOD. I am unaware of any effort on the part of the creator to release a modify version, or one with GTFO included. One star deducted from my original 5.
