Date: January 12th, 2019 12:39 PM Author: At-the-ready Ticket Booth Coffee Pot The Volvo wagon is their sexiest car. And that E63 Benz wagon is a beast. All the other entrants are gay though and you'd be better off with like a Civic hatch or an Elantra Sport Hatch. I need to convince the wife that her next car should be that Benz wagon. I'd never let her drive it. I'll make her take the Stinger and she'll hate me for it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4176140&forum_id=2#37579101) |

Look around your house right now and be honest. |

Date: January 17th, 2019 12:45 PM Author: Exciting wagecucks field You're both of those things. So what are you getting at?
Ofc you have a maid service, bc you're too much of a lazy Cossack to clean. |
|
Date: January 17th, 2019 12:47 PM Author: Filthy faggot firefighter giraffe I'm getting at the fact that this really isn't a battle you should be picking.
Of course I'm too much of a lazy Cossack to clean. But my house is clean anyway. |

Date: January 17th, 2019 12:19 PM Author: Filthy faggot firefighter giraffe As long as you're actually going to use it for what it was intended, that's a perfectly fine choice. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4176140&forum_id=2#37608146) |
|
Date: January 17th, 2019 12:37 PM Author: jet-lagged roast beef A high-performance wagon would have been the best fit for you given your stated objectives & the fact that you were going to hang on to your JGC.
However, you embraced your low-energy nature and ended up getting something that isn't nearly as high performance as the hi-po SUVs you were crowing about for years.
There is a bit of a performance gap in the American wagon market. Your 50i is more powerful than most wagons. However, your 50i gets utterly spanked by high performance wagons, none of which you can afford. So I guess getting something like a 50i is somewhat justifiable.
The X6 body style is gutter trash though |
|
Date: January 17th, 2019 12:43 PM Author: Filthy faggot firefighter giraffe I like the X6 body style and like the ground clearance. It is going to snow this weekend and my X6 will be fine.
Yes, I could have gotten something like an E63 or whatever. If I were going to shell that kind of money out I'd just have gone for the X6M. |

|
Date: January 17th, 2019 12:46 PM Author: Filthy faggot firefighter giraffe The point is that I never have to worry about that shit. My car will be 100% fine, is powerful enough, and wasn't too expensive (at least considering original sticker was $88k). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4176140&forum_id=2#37608351) |

|
Date: January 17th, 2019 12:55 PM Author: Filthy faggot firefighter giraffe The X6 has enough space for even long road trips. For hauling stuff from Home Depot I'm obviously using the Jeep. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4176140&forum_id=2#37608439) |

Date: January 17th, 2019 12:57 PM Author: jet-lagged roast beef You know, you could teach her to drive instead of treating her like a six year old (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4176140&forum_id=2#37608455) |
|
Date: January 17th, 2019 1:08 PM Author: Filthy faggot firefighter giraffe That's why we're getting a second car. She is getting the Jeep as her daily driver. But in snow there's no way she is driving for a long time (at least until next winter).
But you're talking about someone who has avoided learning to drive for many, many years. She even tried to bribe me with an X6M if I traded in the Jeep and she never had to learn to drive (which, is just silly). But this weekend, she is studying for her permit exam and the week after she is freakin' taking it. She won't even be eligible for full license for 3 months after that. Until then I have to drive the Jeep to her job and have her drive home. |

That being said, SUVs like BMW's line are totally worthless. |
|
Date: January 17th, 2019 12:54 PM Author: Filthy faggot firefighter giraffe They are not worthless. Sure, my Jeep is better offroad than my BMW, but for 99.9% of uses the BMW is perfectly sufficient, assuming you get decent tires (not summer sport tires). Most of the "lol, look at that guy in his X5/X6 stuck in snow!" videos have some moron with summer tires wondering why they can't get up their unplowed driveway with ease.

Date: January 17th, 2019 12:55 PM Author: rambunctious puppy You're basically buying a minivan.
Range Rovers, the Lexus GX/LX, the 4runner/Land Cruiser, G-Class, and also the MB GLE/Grand Cherokee/Porsche Cayenne can be equipped with off-road packages that have real 4wd capabilities. |
|
Date: January 17th, 2019 12:56 PM Author: Filthy faggot firefighter giraffe X5 now offers an off-road package too. Most MBs/Porsches aren't sold with them.
Minivans are just shit cars from any POV other than hauling kids. |
|
Date: January 17th, 2019 1:01 PM Author: rambunctious puppy Still no low-range on that "off-road package". (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4176140&forum_id=2#37608470) |

Date: January 17th, 2019 1:15 PM Author: know-it-all self-absorbed son of senegal Is now. Cayenne until 2011? was a legit offroader (low range, locking diffs, height adj suspension), even if owners never used it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4176140&forum_id=2#37608583) |
|
Date: January 17th, 2019 1:16 PM Author: Filthy faggot firefighter giraffe They still have height adjustable suspension. They found few used low range ever, even if they're driving off the pavement to campsites or whatever.
X5 just got height adjustable suspension. My X6 doesn't have it. :( |
