Default Pics of my new ride 1 0f 2

Couldn't wait to leave work today to pick up one of my new ride from the dealer. It drives and handles like a 3 series. 2006 BMW x3 3.0 with steptronic, panoramic roof, bluetooth, etc.. Just need to slap a NeLOC sticker on the back. I'll take some day time shots .The Goat is coming too

The Rav4 only has 26k on it and is a good ride. Had to get an allseason luxury ride to park next to my co-workers that laugh at the Rav4 There is wood on the doors too. You get a choice of two colors for the wood. I chose the darker of the two. The inline 6 is so smooth and powerful. I'm ready to take on the SC's

More on the car side than the 5. Think of a 3 series wagon. Suspension is nice and firm, and the cornering is unbelievable for a suv, well sav(sport activity vehicle) according to the salesperson. I was suprised at how quick and stable this ute is.

no now, not later......start the mods before you break it out for the winter...come on man start modding already you should be out in the driveway changing the licence plate frames and turn signal bulbs and smoking the lenses and and and damnit, go out there and make it unique!



btw i think a nice german plate would look sick on the front. I saw a range rover the other day with a EU plate with a NY tag on the back, looked nice.
