Did the insurance buy you a new car yet?

Get one of these and have it converted to electric. It should be able to handle your driveway.

https://www.ironplanet.com/Humvees

We got the call last Friday that the car is officially gone. Payout is just under $8k. Not bad considering we bought that car in 2014 for $13,500 I think. We are borrowing our friends BMW Z4 for now and trying to figure out what we want. We are pretty sure we will end up getting two vehicles. Some type of SUV-ish thing for road trips with the dogs, and something fun for her to daily. The Z4 is surprisingly fun - especially since it is the base engine, 3.0 inline 6. That motor really runs. Somehow, it gets up and down the driveway. Can't go straight on, but slight angle gets the nose up quick enough. approach angles, short nose over tire and zero rear overhang all seem to work together.

Anyone selling anything interesting?

I really like how the Z4 performs. I was ready to buy one instead of the Sol when my wife stepped into the conversation. She said "that long front end looks funny" and then "Look at this car (sol) honey, I really like this one". Sold

Well, it has happened.

Background: our beloved fx35 was totaled by an idiot on the freeway. Mrs. GJ was driving and we got rear ended by a Chevy Tahoe. Both cars totaled. We are fine.

That was March 5.

We finally bought another vehicle. We move slow 🤪

Hints:

2011
Roughly 400 hp
AWD
4+ doors
Purple

I?ll buy a beer for whomever guesses correct. Next time I see you in person. I?m good for it- even if it?s 10 years from now.

GJ

It is not.

Porche Cayenne?

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #56 on:** April 23, 2021, 03:31:09 PM »

That would be a VAG car

Perhaps my reply in the other threat would have been better posted here...

Still...in before Kelu:

My guess? Infinite QX56. The 400 hp V8 5-door SUV that idk comes in purple or not...

Could you maybe zoom in a little, I feel like we are looking at it from the other side of the universe.

G J ; It looks like the Lincoln Navigator from the COLOR , that was popular color in 2011 Not a Hummer that's for sure.

Gentleman Jack · « **Reply #62 on:** April 25, 2021, 05:21:35 PM »

Not a QX56 or Navigator...

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #63 on:** April 26, 2021, 11:12:08 AM »

Country or continent of origin?

Best guess at the moment either that or this is now a naming contest.

elff · « **Reply #64 on:** April 28, 2021, 04:35:01 PM »

Looks like a gender identity convention.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #65 on:** April 28, 2021, 08:04:20 PM »

Isn't that the Teletubbies?

Gentleman Jack · « **Reply #66 on:** April 29, 2021, 12:21:10 AM »

Japan

Critterman · « **Reply #67 on:** April 29, 2021, 10:34:53 PM »

Was it listed in your original post or did you pull a fast one?

Because I don't remember any Japanese cars in that list, a couple Korean.

Gentleman Jack · « **Reply #68 on:** May 02, 2021, 01:13:36 AM »

Yes, it is a repeat for us, but we liked that car a lot and this was a stupid deal. We are still shopping for another something.

5.0 V8
390 hp
AWD
0-60 approx 5 sec (4.8-5.2 depending which rag tested it)

Nice to be able to keep same model of the car if you enjoyed the previous one

elff · « **Reply #72 on:** July 10, 2021, 07:22:15 PM »

I take delivery of this on Monday
[attachimg=1]

Very similar build to the jeep I used to own.
2004 Jeep TJ Rubicon
37" Tires
6" AiRock kit
Sway Loc air activated sway bar disconnect
Separate Drag link and Tie Rod steering.
Rubicon Express Long Arm kit
It's got a little bit of trail rash and some surface rust, but is in great shape.
Is coming with both a Hard Top and a soft top, and a bunch of spare parts.
I know the jeep and the owner, I'll put about $4000 into it to make it exactly how I want it

Meeting up with Shiny and Reed 1 week from today to do some mild off roading at Rausch Creek.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #73 on:** July 10, 2021, 09:52:31 PM »

Does that mean the Bronco is not happening now?

Critterman · « **Reply #74 on:** July 11, 2021, 12:43:55 PM »

Next thing you know you will be buying a used Sky.
