Is it just me, or did anyone else imagine Jeremy Clarkson’s E-Type birthday party with a whole gaggle of Defenders while reading this?

Some previous commenter noted that these came with the 2.3L Mercedes M111.970 4-banger, and looking at the pictures in the ad, probably suggests that these also came with the 722.6 5-speed auto.

I know the feeling; I fit okay (not incredibly, but I can drive it) into a MkV or newer Golf, but not so much in a Chrysler 300 or an Impala. I’m actually looking at Volvo V70s to get mad headroom - the insurance rates for a 19-year-old male are actually livable.

My arms, shoulder to fingertip, are about 36 inches. Even reclining a few degrees in the Tahoe puts me in a pimp-lean stance where I can barely reach the wheel. D:

Hell, I’m 6'4", 280 lb, and I’m pretty much forced into an SUV with my 30" inseam (torso is ever so slightly taller than my legs). I hate driving the damn things so much, but I’ve yet to find a sedan or wagon in which my head doesn’t collide with the headliner or that I don’t have to assume a pimp-lean stance to…

This baby’s won awards! (Doesn’t specify whether or not the awards were handwritten on a piece of notebook paper.)

The first three characters of the Rolls’s license plate probably best describes the mood of everyone involved.

Totally forgot the 2005-06 Merc E55 AMG wagon, which I believe was rated for 5,490 lb (the later E63 could probably tow even more). Honestly, I think it could pull more, but the suspension would blow out first.

I wish I could be un-grayed to give you my congratulations for spelling “New Braunfels” right. As a Texan, I'm appalled at how many people can't say or spell it right.

Texas normally only allows five or six characters on a custom plate, depending on plate style. They occasionally let people get 7-character plates, but that’s the most they allow. A dash counts as a character, but another demarcation point (like the Texas silhouette or a heart) does not count as a character here.

I’m no stranger to unusually high/low mileage. My dad’s 2006 Explorer has about 208k on it; he bought it a couple years old with 38k and drove the hell out of it. Meanwhile, my 1999 Tahoe just cracked 95k. Original owner was an elderly dude who used it as his bar transport.

I can confirm the businessman’s car of choice - my CEO uncle had a Cayenne Turbo from new in 2006 until about a year or so ago, when he bought an X6 xDrive35i M Sport. (Yeah, I dunno why he didn’t just go for the X6 M.)

I mustn’t be the only one who started singing along...

I love my girlfriend to death, but whenever she’s like “OH MY GOODNESS, LOOK AT THE PRETTY [insert some animal whose name I’ve never heard]!”, I inevitably have to look, and I spend precious moments looking away from the road to try to find this beast.

Oh, Lord. You won't believe how many of my friends have bought crapcans recently (including a couple of Aveos). I have the hardest time keeping my mouth shut.
