GF soon to be fiance and I are going truck shopping this weekend. she has an 04 H2 and wants something different. its between the Range Rover(supercharged model) or Porsche Cayenne Turbo. heard poor ratings for the cayenne, although i like it better, she likes the range rover better. guess its ultimalely up to her since she will be the one driving it
anyone know anything about the range rovers as far as the reliability??

what would you go for?

Sarlacc

I dont think you could really go wrong with either one.

Out of those Ive only ever drivn a Cayenne S...tiptronic was nice. Torquey as hell too. But in the end its an SUV...so meh.

m&b6speed

yeah i hear you on the suv part, not a huge fan(thats why she is going to be driving it!!) I've never been in either but im sure i will like both

TL CHROMETIDE

I say Cayenne, I have seen many Range Rovers on the street and barely any Cayenne.

Your avatar is funny as hell by the way.

FastAcura

Really? I see Cayennes all the time, not too many turbo though.

srika

if its that new Range Rover... definitely that one!!! looks hot as hell....

390hp - but that is still a lot - Cayenne is faster, but much uglier.

hate the steering wheel but you won't see me complaining if I was behind the wheel....

m&b6speed

thanks!

i see the opposite here, many cayenne's, although few turbo, and not alot or Rovers

m&b6speed

it is the new Range Rover, in a gunmetal color

that link you posted is for the range rover sport, but its the same interior pretty much!

Damn bro, you got a good looking girl with a CL 65 and an H2, you're one lucky man.

NJtsx

what do you guys do for a living ?

Minch00

Imagine how that would be?


I'd go for the Range Rover. THe Cayanne is , and the steering wheel is an abomination from hell

Sarlacc

Steering wheel in the cayenne looks uglier in picture and is easier to deal with in person...like a i said the tiptronic is nice.

Range rover with S/C might be cool in that copper color.

m&b6speed

thats not all and her, she's a cutie

i think we (well she rather) has ousted the cayenne, but well see. i was behind a Range Rover this morning for about 15 min and i really like it too. either way i dont care, it's not a minivan!!

mclarenf3387

Huh?

Go with the Range. Porsche is too funny looking to me. Plus that steeing wheel doesn't look too fun to use.

m&b6speed

i was referring to the cl65 and H2 when i said "thats not all"

mclarenf3387

Reehheehheeeehheeaaallly. Do tell.

m&b6speed

well there's the
H2, which will be sold(has a 3" lift, rims extra chrome...)
04 TL, rims and body kit...may also be for sale soon
the 03 cl65 with carbon fiber interior
99 silver nsx, many mods
00 yellow nsx, many mods
04 dodge ram 2500 turbo diesel
04(i think) sl55 amg, exhaust, better trans...that may be gone soon for a f430
05 yamaha R1, black


oh and of course the 03 cls 6 speed, odly enough my favorite(probably cause it was my first new car

cdrink80

Wow Baller congrats man

JWhite1301

m&b6speed

thnaks dude, but i wont play like they are all mine, only the 99 nsx, cl, and R1, the rest are hers

m&b6speed

i have pics of the yellow nsx and the H2 with the old rims on this computer i'm at (how do you post pics??), the others i can probably take this weekend( a few are in storage, no driveway space)

m&b6speed

TL CHROMETIDE

Damnit! I want your NSX.

mclarenf3387

No that I totally de-railed your thread ( ), do you mind telling me where you store your cars? Is it a personal wharehouse, or some sort of storage place? I may want to store my car while I'm away at school, since I don't like the idea of leaving it outside while I'm gone.

Oh, and that NSX is hot You should bring it to some meets.

m&b6speed

they are stored at a public storage place, thats climate controlled. they usually range from 100 to 130 dollars a month(depends on sise and if its climate controlled...) ours are actually pretty big, i have the bike in front of one car, and a big couch in front of another. definately better than leaving it outside, its out of the elements, its secure, when you go to pick it up its clean
just grab the yellow pages, there are dozens of them around.

i was going to bring it to the ross dock meet, but i never made it there. i'll see if i can get some pics of the other one later.

Liftedoff420

what do you do for a living man?? thats a massive garage, shit insurance must be like 15 grand a year

m&b6speed

i, along with my partner, run a landscaping company.

the garages are all single car, just very deep(about 15-16 ft).

insurance is a killer, but worth it. most are under her name(only the three that i posted were mine are insured by me)
and still her insurance on hers is half of what mine is
damn women

Alin10123

Range rover? haha
have you ever tried talking to some people that have owned one? I was looking at buying one once and after i talked with the salesperson, i walked into their service dept to talk with some customers that were waiting for their cars. They said that their cars are in there all the time.

Try talking with some people that are waiting for their cars at the dealership service dept. They will clue you in on the true ownership experience.

m&b6speed

thanks for the info, i will do that. never made it to the dealers yesterday, so when i do i will make it a point to ask some current owners.

muffaburn

Damn, did not know the landscaping business was that lucrative.
By the way love all the cars.
Shit, if I had it like you why not get both SUV's, young baller.....

m&b6speed

i dont want either to tell you the truth, it's kind of like the lesser of two evils for me, she will be driving it. i'm not a suv guy myself. if it doesnt have a clutch, it doesn't really interest me(except if we get the F430-i can deal with the paddle shifters if she doesnt want stick)

any business is lucrative depending what you put in to it. i work 60-70 hours a week and we dont do that lawn cutting BS,

right now we're working on a patio for an ex philadelphia flyer-thats where the money is

njzprettyboy

i live real close, right over in north brunswick...and i am often in piscataway--the part right next to middlesex--possumtown road, b/c a good friend lives there..never seen any of your cars thgouh...we should meet up some time...i would love to go for a spin in some of those whips--if you dont mind

Xenogen

I test drove both...Cayenne is more sporty (hence its a porsche), but the Range looks better and...I was looking into purchasing a Range...Id go for that one.

m&b6speed

yeah i figured the range rover wouldnt be as sporty, being that it doesn't come from a sport car background. i'm starting to lean more towards the range rover cause the porsche looke like a 911 with a lift kit.

m&b6speed

i dont drive the cars too often since i work alot and my hockey equipment and fishing poles wont fit in it!! i live 2 minutes from possumtown road, off lincoln blvd. i'm usually free on the weekends, except this one coming up, maybe we'll set something up after that, maybe another NJ CL meet.

quantmonkey

So does this mean that you're really a drug dealer or a mafioso?

m&b6speed

yeah thats the "street" term for it around these parts. the waste management thing is sooo 90's...

everything i do is legit-honestly. i dont believe in being "crooked" not worth it in my opinion.

it is a pain in the ass getting pulled over all the time and being told that mommy and daddy bought it for me...or being asked what i sell or what im pushing...
