+1! I can't believe some of the asinine crap in this thread. Ben thinks he's on the set of Entourage when it's more like 21 Jump street.
Just another example of people dumbing down. The whole image thing is facile and obvious. Wakey wakey...

It's all in the angle of dangle..... 
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.
I know I've just burst the bubble on this shot - but you did ask!

The deepest water/mud I got my Range Rover in was to the bottom of door sill with extended ride height. That's about as deep I want to get stuck in. LOL!

It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven't lost the things that money can't buy. ~George Horace Lorimer

Well I did a little experiment and Ben is right, my old Range Rover doesn't make it w/ladies anymore.
First I dropped off our youngest at school w/the P-car. All the MILF's w/their Priuses and Camrys were giving me the eye and smiling at me. I even got a, "Nice Car!" Status kills galore ( luckily no parents have a 997 ).
Then I went home and jumped in the Rover and drove our oldest to school, not one look from the MILFs. And there's this old bald dude in an Escalade rolling on 24"s, blasting Jay-Z, who was getting tons of looks.
When I test drove it, I didn't think the new Rover was worth the $50k more to trade up before, but now I've seen the light. I'm just a tired old fart, in a tired old Rover. I need to upgrade to regain my "playah" status before I'm 40. No wonder my trophy wife doesn't bring her friends home to play in the hot tub w/us anymore. She's probably making it w/our Puerto Rican gardner.

When I got my first 996 5 years ago, all the girls wanted a ride in it. After a few runs, they don't like the rough ride and didn't want me to bring out the P but other comfortable cars where ingress/egress were easier than the P. When one of them got a chance to drive it after I got wasted one night, she understood why people fall in love with it ha ha

LOL she'd go as far as getting embarrased? Wanting something is not as desirable as owning one. How do you handle all that bitchin? Can't live with it every day. Gotta choose one over the other when you settle down with her, it seems like. So you made your point that you got a Ferrari cuz you want it, even if your gf doesn't like it and even gets embarrased by it. Previously, I made a statement that in the end, I will end up getting what I want, regardless of what other people say. If people weren't so much interested what girls really thought about cars we drive, I wonder why so many guys read this thread to begin with. All of us were curious

So Playahs, what should I trade the old Rover in on to get the ladies?
Would they like a new Rover or an Escalade better?
Any other SUVs good for pimpin' hoes and status kills?

my recommendation, sir, is for you to stick with the rover, get the supercharged '08 in silver or black and put some clean multi-spoke 24" black center wheels on it.
to send a message across to your lovely Washingtonians, order up the custom plates and they should read:

I swear you guys just don't get it. Playa's don't spend $$, baller's do. 
Figure out what you want roll you want to play. LOL!
Rovers cost more so that is what the women will prefer.
