Congratulations. What color would that PTS Mercedes be? 'Chartreuse' by any chance?

But I do like my truck
I driver early or late to avoid rush hour as much as possible; roads are crappy I agree, but I am on the lunatic fringe and daily drive Elise, Viper, GT3, MP4-12C, and just got an new Miata. Closest to practical is the Caddy V-Wagon. Tried keeping cars pristine and all I did was make for good inventory for the dealer.

I want to make this my signature. It wouldn't be true, but it's just so absurd (in a good way). The Miata brings it all together.

In the summer I use the 7.1Rs or the 991 RS,for daily and winter in the city a Smart ForTwo or a Cayenne S, Mercedes SL, and in AZ I keep a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited for offroading. Most mileage is on the Cayenne.

How is the E63 in the snow with snow tires? When I looked at the specs it seemed like the AWD system was fixed at 1/3 front (or something like that) and 2/3 rear and that it didn't necessarily redistribute as needed.

I have a Macan Turbo and need to go to something larger,

thinking about a new Range Rover SC or X5M, thoughts?

Just picked up the new x5m for my wife, I have to say I preferred the previous model.
Annoying that the car doesn't move when you release brake pressure from stand still. The new RR looks great.

I just got a new RR (full size) diesel. A week after buying it I took it on a week long road trip up to mount Shasta. What an amazing vehicle. I took it on the snow (all seasons, snow tires are on the way) and some pretty rough dirt roads and it was perfect. Not to mention it's comfortable, luxurious, and very quiet on the inside. I love it.
