Canis Kalahari Appreciation Thread

Ah, yes, the Canis Kalahari. I'm sure we've all wondered whether this was an actual car or just an oversized golf cart. Anyway, let's see those Kalaharis.

 

This was mine, but I eventually got rid of it.

For once, your ride doesn't have ugly paint job combinations. It's a bloody miracle

 

Sorry I don't have any pics of this ride. Quite hideous :)

I've tried it. Too ugly to keep (and I like the Citroen Mehari in reality) but it goes up hills like a mountain goat. Wish it looked better.

The first pic is my final product of it. Decided to make it look military-ish since I don't have my roofless one anymore.

I hated the canopy on it so I sold it for a clean rebel, the Kalahari sounds awesome but the canopy ruins it.for me despite the Citroen having the canopy in real life.

Just import one from single-player and glitch it into your garage, dude.

I don't mind about the appearance but does is it good? Compared to other vehicles is it able to climb mountains or is it any good offroad?

It is ugly and awkward (why i dont have a pic) but climbs steep grades better than any other offroad class vehicle (besides sanchez IMO). Its not a racer but it will cruise through any 4x4 course better than expected and will always have a home in my offroad garage.

It climbs better than any other off-road vehicle due to its mix of lightweightness and power. You can fall off the side of Chiliad with it and climb back up. It's basically a little mountain goat, very fun to use.

Besides the bicycles it's the easiest whip to get murked in. The windows are saying "Please shoot him for driving this thing!"

 

I sold it the first week. In fact it's the only car I didn't keep despite it's stats. Its the windows I couldn't deal with. Too man trolls to enjoy this car. The car is the biggest target in the game. I got sold in record time, like less than four days.LOL!

There it was in the back. Fortunately despite the XS' flaws. It will never get sold.

Every car that isn't a super car is a target.

Haha, in your opinion? I drive in free roam in anything but. I blow up most super cars when they engage me because the back is usually closed. If your reasoning is the back is closed so it isn't a target... In your world maybe. I don't mind paying the insurance.

No.

 

I'm saying super cars are the best performing, and most popular so not owning a specific vehicle because it's a "target" is ridiculous because everything that isn't a super car is a target. Looking at that picture with your old Kalahari in it, all 4 of those vehicles can be easily trumped by super car driver with a sticky bomb.

Vaguely looks like a Volkswagen Type 181 "Thing."

 

I've got mine in an approximation of Acapulco Orange with Half Moon hub caps wheels. Wish I could store the non-side/top-only variant online as it looks even more Thingish.

 

Quick to get to its top speed, which is slow; it'll bounce along on and off road, take a good tumble, and climb anything in its way. It won't, however, win races.

 

It was the first thing to go into my extended garage space.

If it were so easy to trump my pos cars it would happen weekly... Sadly it doesn't as I use my brakes, and know the layout of the land. I didn't sell it because EVERYONES was a target because of stats, I got rid of it, because no matter how great I whipped it I always got SHOT. Not bombed. The windows are TOO big they can get you from some great angles from AFAR. Supers do have the best stats, no doubt, but I rarely get trumped as you put it. I'm on PS3

I have one simply because I like the look of it. I've gotten one when the Beach Bum Pack released and I've had it since. I really like it's simplistic shape and the handling is incredible. Those 4 tall thin wheels with their AWD can do wonders when you slide off.

 

I will post pictures soon, I'm actually considering getting another one now for my second character.

Sometimes you gotta embrace it and find its beauty beneath the skin.

 

Then again, I drive a Honda Element in real life and am used to people mocking my toaster until sit inside and realize its an automotive Tardis. Also, in case I haven't mentioned it enough everytime the Kalahari comes up... Type 181!

Looks aren't the be all end all

 

I think it's a tad ugly but I don't really care, it's a great little car that is fun to drive. One of the best off-road climbers in the game, I have bookmarked plenty of those custom off-road races to do solo and excluding the ones that require rock climbing or driving through water it has conquered nearly all of them I've tried so far.

Does anybody know if it is still possible to get a roofless version?
