New ride in the stable.....

Well today I finally got the wife a decent ride. Traded my 2012 F150 in for a 2011 Range Rover Sport Supercharged. She LOVES it! I was pretty impressed myself. I gotta say it is a sweet ride. Hmmm.... Maybe a pulley and tune for her too lol! 510hp isn't enough for the family SUV



Now time to get rid of the old Escalade.

Those are sweet SUV's. I hope you got a strong, long lasting warranty though.

I love those Range Rovers. I bought one for a my wife and she didn't like it. I said WTF! Ended up trading it for an RX400h and she loves it. Go figure.

Thanks guys! The wife loves it.

Just have the factory warranty but I am not worried. My boy is European Master Tech for almost 20 years. He hooks me up and doesn't charge me anything for labor. Plus I get the parts at cost so I am not worried.

I have driven an 05 before and didn't think too much of it. But the newer one was night and day difference. Wife loves it. That's the most important part.

Ah she looks taller, I thought like 6 foot lol. I have that problem too being 5'8" with shoes on, gotta find me some in the 5'2" range to account for any heel wearing haha.

Nice car, I got the Cayenne Turbo for my wife. I sold her on the fact the Turbo had the adjustable suspension and more creature comforts standard.

Pulls great but still feels so slow compared to what I am used to driving now. So does my stock 05 GTO though Its all about what you get used to I guess.
