Apology accepted..
Sorry for going off the deep end - it just that if we all start misquoting each other, nobody will know what the heck anyone actually said unless they go back and check the original post word for word. I don't even like it when someone edits someone else's words and puts "fixed it for you" - but at least that tells you someone mucked with it.

Get a car or suv or whatever that YOU want but for christ sake don't buy it to impress girls...geez it's not that hard to get some loving and if you need a car to get some then you have problems.

pls guys - unless you're pullin chicks like kobe bryant/justin timberlake/bruce lee/50 cent (you get my drift) combined, if you're a healthy male, you'll naturally want all the assistance you can get. even the examples that are alive today roll big ballin' cars and believe me, they're doing it to look damn good in front of your sister, your wife, your girlfriend and you.
don't play too cool for school seriously

it's just another accessory that puts a mark on you as being free and having fun. some chicks dig that, some chicks feel that they don't want to compete. in LA , chicks feel that vibe better than the girls up here is what i've observed.
but i will say i feel you on the LA scene thing. i actually celebrated my b-day at Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel over the weekend and had a blast hitting up les deux and area with my friends.
here's a pic of some of my "entourage" in the cabana

I see that you are one of the few guys in the forum who are single like me, enjoying life to the fullest. When you get a chance, check out some of the K-Town clubs like Le Prive and Velvet Room.
Cheers.

If you look closely you'll see that the fast moving water in front of the Discovery is actually breaking over a submerged rock or two, so from the angle of the shot appears higher than the hood! (which it isn't)
The front end does have a bow wave up around it (which is normal) - you just need to manage the forward speed to avoid it washing over and drowning the engine intake.
Yes - you should have a snorkel if you do this often!
I know I've just burst the bubble on this shot - but you did ask!
Still a case of gripping the wheel and praying when you go in - easier when you follow another LR that makes it through of course!.

At 50 years old, anticipating taking my 996 out for a few hours has replaced the feeling I used to have anticipating a hot date when I was younger. Sad but true. Could be worse though...I could have not found the absolute thrill I get from taking my 996 out !!!!

Thought I'd share this bow-wave picture to better illustrate how the 'angle of dangle' could lead you to believe the LR was submerged, when it's actually progressing nicely - all ahead, steady as she goes...
And FWIW - I have no problem with urban folks and soccer mums driving around in LRs - It gives me more choice when I'm picking up a used one 3 years down the line for pennies on the dollar!
And I can pretty much guarantee the only 'offroad' action has been mounting the curb outside of costco.... LOL

poser for what? what are you guys so afraid of? a car is an accessory, a luxury item esp high ticket items like the ranger rover, 911, etc. if someone chooses to roll an '07 rover sittin' on 24s, it's no worse or better than you guys who choose to go take your nice trips into the wilderness with it.
just don't put your old rovers that fetch $18K on the used car market to be in the same "bling" space as a new body. they're two different cars even if they share the same name. i'm not coming down on you guys about doing your wilderness thing - all i'm saying is per the author here and keeping him in mind, let's be real here. it's either a new body rover, a 911 996 or a new 997S. not your old fart rovers you keep posting pics of.
