Below zero.  Ha!

But anyway that's what fancy new remote start and all that jazz is built for.   You live in a small town, what's the hurry?

That should be in the happy thread.

Did you buy this yet?
Well it might be happy if it weren't forced on me by circumstances... I really hoped to get at least another year and a half out of it, as 2 of 3 kids will be out of HS at that point and the youngest will then only be a year out from driving herself. 

But the good thing is that the guy who rear-ended me paid me out of pocket to avoid going through insurance based on the estimate, and I hadn't repaired it yet. So while I didn't get much selling a 100K+ car with multiple mechanical issues and body damage, that is effectively part of the sale price in my mind.

That is actually the rare, attractive Euro SUV.  Most of them are small, goofy, ugly, humpy-looking little things.

G-wagons are manly.

Manly? 

Then why is it that the only people I ever see driving them are rich pretentious white ladies?

I posted it to help B.R.A.D. with sound advice.
Sound advice? Spending that amount of money on a G-wagon when I'm still trying to get myself ready to buy a house is sound advice?

Honestly I never see anyone driving them here, male or female.  Couldn't tell you the last time I saw a G-Wagon in the wild in Central Texas.

In the movies it's always Russian gangsters that drive them, so maybe we're lacking in that particular criminal element?

Interesting. The Raptor here is a very male-dominated demo as far as I can tell.

I was sort of kidding.  Although I do know one lady who drives a Raptor.

I honestly couldn't tell you what rich ladies drive here.  I don't know any.

Well-off soccer moms drive Range Rovers and Escalades and Yukon Denalis.

My wife has a 4Runner but is salivating for the new Sequoia.  They definitely look better than they used to.
