just as we question your choice of 911s... plastic window and weakish engine and all
and rennlist members, it's such a coward move to sling arrows at strangers esp when they're sittin behind a computer screen/keyboard without a face to the name. check out the weak sauce.

Sadly it appears as though you've hit a brick wall with respect to witty retorts slung my way. I sense a "jerk store" insult in my future.
It was all in fun. If you should see me "pimpin'" in my slow *** 993 with the scratched window give me a wave. And if I should see you "rollin on 24s" flashing that rug burn you call a tattoo with your ladies (and men) of the evening, I'll do the same.

Thank you Mark for the translation.

but i can see you like to hate on people who like to show off some of their "fun" which is somewhat interesting since you drive a sports car... a convertible sports car.
and dude, them range rovers, escalades ridin' on 24s... just imagine what they're thinking looking at internet insult slanger "john-'96 993 cab" in a cute liil convertible on what looks to be rollin' on 13s... and all this the tx! LOL

These things are always about intent. It's not that there is anything pejorative about calling someone Asian. It's that the person involved consciously chose to do this rather than use the guy's name, which you can't miss on the thread. It was a decision to reduce the poster to his ethnicity. A bit dehumanizing. He might not have meant it that way, but given the web's conversational limitations, and the generally abusive tone of the thread, that's how it came across.

I have both.
1993 range rover LWB done up for "mud" is quite cool. In some ways, it is more legit than the new stuff. Air coils removed. Better tires. New cam. 4.6L engine, better diff, etc. But, I am in the minority and your point on the RR above is probably true for the city only user. But, if you like a truck that exudes character...an old rover is really cool. Best part...I am into it for 4k total and it rocks.... But that is me.

(dailly, the later LR3's get good marks..resale on land rover products is something you need too look at before you get into them.....)

my point about 24s and such is that it's cool too. a range rover is a luxury vehicle. no one needs leather piping and air suspensions. but all that stuff makes the city drive much more comfortable. all that expensive wood makes it prettier. and so do 24s. while i don't agree image is everything (agassi), i do believe it has its space in life. we drive a 911, fellas. image counts.
fyi, i drive a 1999 jeep cherokee more than i drive the 911. if i was so into image for the sake of image, i'd sell both cars and get myself a freakin' westminster range rover on $12K 24" wheels myself. yet i love the jeep and would never sell it. it's bulletproof and going offroading is fun in its own way.
and i love that my avatar gets so much attn. i did it on purpose. as to the reasons why? you can guess, but you'll never really know and if you care that much ... u need to find something to do. but it's obvious it sniffs out a certain type of person.

Yet, I see loyal and repeat LR models. What gives? Is the reliability issue with British cars true or are they trying to make it exclusive for those who have time, patience, and extra money for frequent visits to the dealers?

Out of about 100 customer reviews on Range Rovers and other LR model, about 1/3 said they had numerous visits to the dealers and some have returned their cars to the manufacturers on lemon laws. Forbes listed all Land Rover models as one of the ten least reliable cars.
