Everyone wants the same junk. Everyone wants the same tacky look. Everyone afraid to look different (or poor!!!) Everyone wants their kids to go to the same schools, camps, vacations, friend. Everyone wants the same boring ass crap.

Nouveau riche but not actually rich.

Lemmings. Sad.

I know a guy who has a Grenadier and hates it, wants to get rid of it... I sat in int and it looks cool, bu he just does not like driving it at all.

Cadillac Escalade V-Series (fast)

FIFY

What each car says about the me. Who drive it -

Escalade: “I overpaid 30% for what’s basically a Suburban or Tahoe, with a lot of chrome on it. John Boehner and I have the same car, and the same golf handicap. My penis doesn’t work anymore”.

Ford Raptor: “When I die, I wanna be reincarnated as Ted Nugent, circa 1976. Trust me, the EcoBoost V6 is JUST as good as the V8 it used to have. Honest!!! My penis still works, but it’s on the small side”.

Lexus GS 550: “I coulda had the Land Cruiser for $20k less, but I have more money than brains. I tell myself it’s better than the Toyota even though they’re both built on the same assembly line. I have an off-road vehicle but I’d never dream of taking it off-road. Ever. “

G-Wagon 63: “if I’m not already an Armenian mobster, I want people to think I am. Depreciation? I’m not familiar with the term - explain? I’m taking it back to the dealership because my wife (or mistress) burned her leg on the side exhaust”.

There ya go. That’s what they each say about the men who own them.

You seem to spend a lot of mindshare thinking about the size of random men’s anatomy. You sound poor and closeted.

Agree! This poster seems to have a lot of pent up negativity. I happen to own a GX550 and really like it. It's a lot nicer than the Land Cruiser, IMHO, and I was completely fine paying more for it. Why would anyone care?

And way better engine. Twin turbo V6 >> raspy 4 cylinder Cruiser hybrid. Reviewers were pretty universal in observing that the GX550 is what the Land Cruiser ought to have been. If someone wants a Toyota badge they should get a loaded 4Runner for Land Cruiser money.

We have a GX460 now and it's a great car.

At the moment probably the Lexus GX, as it sells for more than MSRP. Its cousin the Toyota Land Cruiser is also a really nice alternative.



Rivian R1S

Porsche 911, of course

If you live in the exurbs, or a state like Florida, Georgia, or Texas, rich dads seem obsessed with Ford F-150 Raptor Rs, which is a limited production $120,000 off road performance pickup truck

Yuck. Looks like something only airport uber drivers would have. Or secret service.

It means we’re tacky and have no class, even though we have money.

The idea that a Lexus suv is a hot dad car seems bizarre to me. It’s a Lexus suv for women?

Maybe like a masc woman. The Lexus SUV is kind of blocky and loud in a good way

Honda S2000. Cooler than a Miata. More of a collectors car at this point though.

Toyota and Subaru have a cool two door coupe but sadly not convertible.

I agree. Our weekend ride is a Bronco.
I also like the old Wagoneer. Neighbor has one.. Such a classic.
