      Probably not most people on here's cup of tea, but we realized we needed more space for the twins and their infinite amount of junk I carry around everyday.  Since we already have a full size SUV, I couldn't justify getting another one, although I tried hard to convince the wife I needed a Land Cruiser lol

      Anyways, next best thing was this. Feels weird to go from the BMW to a 4x4,  but it has been easier to haul stuff around, and the double stroller dosnt take up the ENTIRE trunk.

      The day I got it:


      And after some easy modifications:

          Loved the X1 - if I could do it all
          Over again (and had an extra 40k, I'd have gone with the X6 purely for more power and a bit of extra space.). I will say, the BMW warranty plan is REALLY easy to use and the infrequent service work early on is a plus. However, every BMW owner I talked with said to get rid of it before the warranty was over haha

          Honestly, if you have had good luck with your Lexus, I would definitely go that route again - the GS F if probably my favorite sports sedan out their right now, and at a decently good price considering what it is.

          Now if you want to say "feck it" and just get something fast, fun and beefy, try a  BMW X drive (AWD) 5 series with an M sport package or even simply an M5.  BMW do lose their value kinda fast though so if you plan on selling it after 3-5 years you will lose money, but it would last 15-20 years with the right amount of upkeep.  One downside about BMW, and pretty much every other auto maker right now, is they are putting smaller engines in cars and then turbo charging them - which is great at first, but very costly when you do have to fix them - and turbos and supercharger a WILL go out before the engine does. That's the whole reason I went with the Tundra over an Ecoboost F150 Supercrew.

                  Thanks for the kind words Mike!

                  Nate, that OS Chevy looks great!  When it comes to trucks, no body makes them like they used to!  Beat them down, shine them up, repeat!

                      Here's a very tasty Landie, via Silodrome. The article's a glorified advert for Cool 'n' Vintage, who did the hooning Escort video a while back.

                      If you ignore the model for a second, there's a neat looking Boxer in the corner of the photo. No idea about it though.

                              Ok, here is an honest question since I know a lot of you guys are Land Rover fans…

                              Found an 08 Range Rover sport HSE for a ridiculous good deal and its in great shape. Thinking of trading out the wife's Nissan SUV for it (heck, it would be way cheaper too!) the RR has like 60K miles on it.

                              What kind of costs should I expect coming up?  Like 5K (I literally found numbers like this online from reviews haha)  a year in repair or more like a couple hundred?  I know things like the air suspension goes out and the electronics weren't the most reliable, but it's a great looking car at an almost "too good to be true" price. Have always been a fan of the body pre-2013, so interested to hear your thoughts...

                                I had 2007 RRS SC and had very little issues with it. Bought it new and had it for about 65k miles. Basically only some electrical issues such as bonnet open/close indicator is faulty and it cost me less than 100€ to fix.

                                With Range Rovers you should always prepare to put down extra for service though.

                                      I have no personal experience with Range Rovers, so discount this as you see fit.  My brother owned a Discovery, the purchase of which he called "the biggest mistake I've ever made."  Mind you, this is a man who is divorced, failed out of college, and has a tattoo of Tigger.  Yes, the cartoon tiger from Winnie The Pooh adorns his left deltoid for the rest of his life, and the purchase of a vehicle was a bigger mistake.

                                      You probably, however, are more interested in the experiences of an actual secondhand Range Rover buyer, so this series of articles might be helpful.
