You forgot to mention John Force’s best contribution to the world...

So obviously I haven’t been in a model X, but my experience with oversized windshields hasn't ever left a good impression on me...I much prefer the upright cockpit of my G to the swooped back windshield of the Porsche Mecan or Audi Q5 which I've spent a lot of time behind the wheel of.

I actually don’t mind it on headliners, the only issue I had was once in college one of my girlfriends accidentally put her feet on the roof on the car to...well never mind why...but yes that left 2 foot prints in the headliner on my car which ocationally caused some awkward conversations with friends (and subsequent…

It makes sense, you only need 1 good driver to be fighting for wins, as long as the other can fight for midpack points. Especially if those midpack points come with +36 million

Did someone say up in smoke?

Actually I think old G’s are like any of the old SUV’s (scouts, Broncos, old jeeps, defenders, land cruisers) that are almost universally liked. I tried to buy an old G before I bought mine, but I didn’t have the patience to wait for a good one. But I discovered how well liked they were by non car people. The girl I…

Old G’s don't have negative stereotypes! New ones definitely do, but old ones don't. And yes the suit thing may have been a bit of a stretch.

There are 2 problems that qualify it as a Crack Pipe: the 2.7 which is sure to leave you bi-turboned. And the fact it is backed up by the most autotragic transmission Audi has ever made.

You have to sift through his inventory. The white one isn’t near as nice looking:http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/201432…

Yes but it’s a Mercedes tractor. Trust me it works somehow. The only thing that seems to work better is a defender, but those cant be had under 15k.

You’re right about the interior. It’s quite Spartan. But that’s part of the charm, and the plaid interior is killer. it’s a proper old school SUV, not incumbered by the unnecessary luxuries of the modern G wagon. I have a G500, but I am planning to “upgrade” to an old 300 soon

Surprise is a broad term....I can think a lot of cars that could accomplish this for less than 15k:

I used to be Quattro, then got burned out on spending $10k per year on repairs...if I could figure out how to change my screen name I would!

The alternative is a bit more work but totally worth it if you’re paranoid: a friend of mine has his entire business HQ’ed in Montana, and claims his homestead in Montana at a cabin he has near Big Sky. Has a MT drivers license and all. He has 3 cars that would never pass CA inspection including a heavily tuned GTR.…

LMFAO The best part about this play is it is sort of a 15 sec summary of the tea sippers whole season! terrible coaching leading to the players just laying down in defeat!

Hey! Im a Floridian with a Mercedes and a hand gun & assault rifle!

I don't even know how to respond to that.

I wouldn’t say they depreciate like hell. Not a lot of vehicles from the early 2000’s that can still fetch mid 30’s to low 40’s. Mine has the original window sticker from 02 of 78k. And I have passed on offers of 36k for it. Meanwhile I've got 2 of my Jeep driving friends who made me promise they get first dibs when I…

I’ve got an 02 G500 and it’s built proof. Ive got it lifted and on mud tires, I abuse it almost daily and it’s not given me any trouble. In fact it's been so good that I wouldn’t think twice about driving from Florida to Moab, abusing it for a weekend and driving home. It's hands down the most reliable vehicle I've…

There have been direct Jeep competitors for decades in every country not named the United States of America. Some would argue that while the Jeep is the original, it’s actually by far the worst. Those same people might argue that the reason we can’t get a Defender, or a reasonably priced Gelandewagen in the US is…
