Jounge, friend just snagged a 2019 Discovery


Apr 12, 2021, 1:32 PM

do I make fun of them or envy them? I'm nut huge on the styling for the 2019, especially the Sport (not sure what they got yet). I assume you guys will have great opinions.

PS, I drive an F150 so I am vanilla AF.

2024 purple level memberringofhonor-greenr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Depends on if it's a sport.


Apr 12, 2021, 1:33 PM

Regular one has some offroad chops. Sport is a 4 cylinder poseur.

I pass those all the time, saw several in Murderburg

I watched Demuro's take on a Pontiac Aztek last night


Apr 12, 2021, 2:01 PM

It was funny watching him go over hills and trying to look under/over the rear window "spoiler" between the windows.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

His nasally voice is a Sonic pain generator.


Apr 12, 2021, 2:24 PM

I can’t get through one of his clips.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpgringofhonor-obed.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


It is. I haven't decided if he's trying to rip off Jay Leno


Apr 12, 2021, 2:28 PM

or not. And when he starts with "THISSS....is a 1987 Nissan Pulsar" it makes me flip the eff out.
That, and the constant j-ing O to anything Ferrari makes.

But it's free content, so i'll watch it when I'm bored. He does have a pretty interesting cross reference of vehicles.

How did we go from super sport meaning


Apr 12, 2021, 2:58 PM [ in reply to Depends on if it's a sport. ]

bad assed to sport meaning "eh." Sharkgirl has an Outlander Sport which has done its job with aplomb, but sporty it aint.

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I've seen several mini-vans with a "sport" package.


Apr 12, 2021, 3:03 PM

WTH is that? "Sport", in a mini van?

Is that just the ability to run over pedestrians and drive off? 'Cause that's the only "sport" I can think of in a minivan. I mean, it being a mini van even makes sex in it kinda creepy.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It's intended to offset how uncool the trim or model is.


Apr 12, 2021, 3:34 PM [ in reply to How did we go from super sport meaning ]

It's usually the entry level trim or a not particularly cool model, like the new Bronco Sport or the base Mazda CX-5.

I'd feel sorry for them if its not under warranty


Apr 12, 2021, 1:37 PM

ION, I saw a new Defender this weekend with the huge box on the rear window I keep complaining about.

I don't care how cool anyone thinks this is, just like bell bottom jeans and big clunky shoes on women, there's just no way this will ever look good:

Apr 12, 2021, 1:39 PM

fucking samsonite suitcase?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Looks like it.


Apr 12, 2021, 1:41 PM

I imagine since its a land rover, it will be bolted to the window with 4 bolts (no gasket) that are a special size and made from unobtanium, that have to be regularly changed or they will corrode and cause the truck to fall apart.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Nah.....does leave an exposed hole though but


Apr 12, 2021, 1:41 PM

aftermarket vendor already made plugs for it.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpgringofhonor-obed.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


So its got a big hole in the glass with a bigger plastic


Apr 12, 2021, 1:46 PM

plug for it?

Yeah, the southern sun won't have any affect on that leaking.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

nope, not in the glass. Trim plastic. Doesn't go


Apr 12, 2021, 1:47 PM

thru to interior. Plugs are cosmetic.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpgringofhonor-obed.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


So what you're saying here is that your Defender has


Apr 12, 2021, 1:49 PM

one these Samsonite cargo boxes?

Why is it not on both sides?

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Nope. I’m agreeing that it’s stupid in 98% of use cases.


Apr 12, 2021, 2:04 PM

Only reason you’re seeing them now is because dealers know the “gotta have it” early trendy-type buyers will pay for whatever options the dealer orders them with.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpgringofhonor-obed.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I like the stripped down versions with the steelies.


Apr 12, 2021, 2:10 PM

I'd have gladly driven the first one the TFL had. I've taken a 180 on all these frilly options for some reason.

This must be the next step in getting old or something.

It's pretty freaking useful


Apr 12, 2021, 1:41 PM [ in reply to I'd feel sorry for them if its not under warranty ]

If you're 2 days off the grid and your car interior is stacked full of gear and you need a place to keep muddy recovery kinetic ropes and tree savers.

It's pretty freaking stupid if you're tooling around Lennox Square mall and the interior of that box will be just as pristine the day you trade it in as the day you bought it (yes, I teed it up).

Oh my God...its just..Out There


Apr 12, 2021, 1:45 PM

There has to be a better way than that--its just so big.

I haven't driven one, but I'd think it makes a bigger blind spot back there than the FJ Cruiser has.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

There's a Toyota FJ that tools around my area, with a

can't check your blind spot because Samsonite suitcase? No problem! Just look out your side mirror, which also has a great view of...a Samsonite suitcase.

Apr 12, 2021, 1:44 PM

infotainment has gone out twice in little over two years. I like the drive, the heated windshield is just terrible to look through though....all I see are the lines.

Fit and feel is pretty posh though.

Its like the FBcooch USC fan version of a Jeep enthusiast. They go out to junk yards scouring Jeep parts, and this dude srsly thinks the WJ may have been one of the best vehicles ever made, and he'll argue about it. In a weird way though, they are interesting to watch.

I recall someone trying to warn you.


Apr 12, 2021, 3:57 PM

I also recall someone responding with what a sublime RWD based platform it was.

C’est la vie.

Feels like Tata has slashed the production quality control budget and signed it over to the styling dept. if nothing else their cars are beautiful these days.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpgringofhonor-obed.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I warned him also and he replied with a snarky comment***

I challenged him, but my 82 year-old dad wanted to buy


Apr 12, 2021, 4:52 PM

A new Traverse Premier last year...after putting 4K miles on his 2014 Cadillac (I despised). His reasoning was for the myriad activities he (no longer) undertook (hunting, target range for his armory of guns, etc.) He bought it in May...passed away right before Halloween.

Here I sit with vehicle I don't want, that's had all of 1700 miles put on it in 11 months. I've never filled the car, but washed it twice...LOL! Running boards, transmission oil cooler sit to the side...he never put them on. Talk about your ROI. But...that new car smell is still strong...but I'm not keeping it. Nope. (Or the armory of weaponry, either...well, not most of it!)

Being left with 'all' is sorta nice, but a challenging disconnect when tastes diverge! :)
