I guess you could call it a car sighting or rather a car observation. It appears that the rich white girl vehicle of choice when you want to act like you go off roading is now the new Ford bronco. There are dozens and dozens of them out here where I live all being driven by rich, blonde white girls. I find that humorous considering they all have 20" wheels on them, which would be terrible if they were actually being driven off-road.

Easy Tiger, easy……my wife happens to be one of those blonde girls. Don’t hate as you off road in your Lexus lol. Hers is purely a mall crawler. No Sasquatch package lol

My Lexus is way more capable than a Bronco, even when picking up my drinks in the wild
of The Starbucks parking lot(inside joke). I just find it funny that Ford spent millions upon millions of dollars to market this thing as the next jeep with rugged, manly outdoor capability and the main people that buy it are 16 year old blonde girls. Fair point though as most of the people driving around a Lexus GX460 are rich soccer moms.

As a Bronco owner (had a 74 and now have a 21), ford screwed up big time with the Bronco. While perfectly capable, the build constraints are just absurd. Next time you see a lifted Jeep, pay attention as to who’s driving it. Lotta HS girls in them.

Daddies money going to good use.

I need to move to Texas, obviously.  I love blondes with Daddy's money, or ex-husband's money!  Daddy issues or vindictive tendencies along with a lifted Bronco FTW!

I went to school with a guy named Kelly Love. Kelly drove a retired hearse to college. Naturally he lied and called it the Love Mobile.

Could have been both. Necrophilia.

Just remember that marketing is aimed at those who don’t actually use the item for what’s intended. They want to appear as if they do. Doesn’t matter what it is. If Ford wanted to build a true off road vehicle for its intended purpose, they would have roughly copied the 1943 Willy’s and put independent suspension, lockers and given it some more horsepower. 

Me personally. I love wealthy people who sell/trade in high end products with absolutely zero use. Never a good idea to buy a product that has been used for its intended purpose by country folk. They have worn it plumb out.

A rare exotic, A Lexus GX460 built for its intended purpose.

Nice! What's the plan for the rack?

For now nothing. I have a rear ladder arriving this week. Mostly just going to use it for hauling lumber and gear. 

Phase 2 will be rock sliders and just some brackets for different equipment and carrying cases for gear. I'll add a lift and a rear tire carrier probably next year. 

Phase 3 a couple years from now will be winch in front and an awning then I'll basically be done.

Looks capable @TEXASBGE2018. I’m sure it will be lots of fun

Back in the initial conversations I seem to remember that personal rides were off-limits..

However, I yield to the originator-

But nice ride right there-

Nope daddies money is “our” money and mommies money is mommies.

Seriously underated vehicle.  They are absolutely wicked off-road.  Glad to see one being built out and used.

Can’t confirm it’s an Eddie Bauer edition either. OJ didn’t roll in an XLT

OJ rolled in the XLT version. I believe that era of Broncos that were the Eddie Bauer edition had the painted cream/beige rockers on them.

A rare sighting here in Michigan.  No visible rust.  This car sits in a driveway at an old home just outside of our housing development.  I'm assuming it is an old lady who is in a nursing home and the kids can't sell the place just yet.  It has a Michigan plate on it that hasn't been legal for use for at least 12 years.

It looks like it's maybe an old Chevy Celebrity. That is strange to see one in general sitting around more less one that's not rotted out.

I think mid 80s cavalier. I'll get a better look someday.

I think you nailed it! I always think the first Cavalier was the late 80's/early 90's version of it. Definitely not a Celebrity.

Neat visual. Never knew the GT2 RS was so much pricier and more powerful than the GT3.

So @Ozzie_Isaac How many and what colours (nod) for your latest stable build ??

I have terrible taste, but since you asked

I would love an a GT3 RS in Pastel Orange.  I would honestly be happy with any version on this list in any color.

I got to drive this beauty home from the shop for a buddy. He had the original carb rebuilt. His father was the original owner.

1973 F100 with the 302 V8. Power nothing. I had to think ahead to stop without power brakes; 3 on the tree. Nearly all original except for the beautiful Eddie Bauer leather bench seat and the suede head liner. Original paint even. It sounds and even drove like a dream.
