P.S. Lowe’s and Home Depot deliver the big stuff.

$35k will get you into an early Panamera. Can be had with a V6, it’ll baby, and properly maintained will last quite a while. Also, it’s a hatchback and will hold quite a bit of gear for roadtripping. You’ll love driving it almost as much as you’ll love the other associates wondering how you’re doing so well.

Imagine being this honked off over a prosed paint job on a proposed airplane. 

This is an interesting argument, the ML, LX, and Range Rover were all available in the US BEFORE the Navigator. Hell, you could even get a Europa G-wagen. Range rover was available a full decade before the Navigator, not to mention LaForza and Lambo L002. Also, the Land Cruiser J80, hit US in 1990 with full time 4WD,…

This within days of a Maxton for $18k? I think this suffers for being so close in the lineup. 

Who said it was classy? I said it was the 1st Luxury SUV, which is precisely how it was marketed. And yes, we took ours for nights out in cities big and small all the time, usually covered in mud and/or snow. Is anybody restoring old Navigators? Want to impress the money no object set in Nantucket or Aspen...roll up…

This is what Cadillac is as well:

If you’re in oil in TX 300k mi. in a couple years is pretty easy to rack up as well, and y’all don’t wanna appear high falutin’ in the field. With that criteria in mind, you’re looking, SUV wise, at Denali, LC (or maybe a Lexus LX)or a Sequoia (jury is out on the Navigator). But what I see the most of from TX to ND in…

As the saying goes: A Rover will get you anywhere, a Land Cruiser will get you home.

If you’re an upper middle class WASP: Denali. All the FU wealthy people I’ve known have Lexus LXs. New money goes Rover or G wagen AMG now. Old money drives GL’s. I suspect the less gaudy Escalade with supercruise will pull from all these markets- my wager: Caddy sold 22,478 Escalades in 2019- they’ll sell over 30k in…

Jeep created the luxury SUV with the Wagoneer 20 years before the Navigator. 

So, super cruise enabled giant brown diesel wagon and the Jalops are all piling on about how terrible it is. I’ll take 3. 

Apologies, here’s the long version

Bob Sutherland was a car guys car guy. I met him a few times in my youth, and was fortunate enough to spend a weekend at the Vintage races in Laguna Seca with his crew. In addition to being a knowledgeable collector, he insisted on driving and/or racing all of them. That’s rare, given the value of some of his rides,…

An Escalade V with Supercruise that looks more Denali-ish, fuck yes. 

You missed Cruise’s own P-51 Mustang

That would be thinking OF the box.

Tracer rule #1: they work both ways.

You are no doubt aware that $750k for a chopped and skinned F430 is not what anyone hoped for when this first emerged, hence the post.
