At this point, the NFL could sign a 6-foot 4-inch, 365-pound linebacker who is a member of the Ku Klux Klan who has elected to wear his KKK hood instead of a helmet and the most a black NFL fan would ask is, “But can he cover the running back coming out of the backfield?”

If you ask me, the X5 has “stupid” written on it in all of its incarnations, if only for the moronic trunk lid. Who thought that a design that requires the user to either lift EVERY piece of luggage at least 4' OR lean into the trunk in a pose more reminiscent of a snooker player than someone getting ready for a…

Dude. Jim Rogers did this, better, almost twenty years ago.

Man that 1893 must be almost dust by now. /s

That ruled so hard.

I sort of disagree about your opinion regarding how bad it is in the city. I had two when I lived in London (1893 Ninety petrol ‘van’ and a 2003 TD5 90 pick-up).
