Its an imported truck, most of them look like that fresh off the boat, but sometimes with more stickers and multicolored paint. The doors, floors and bulkhead are probably rotted all to hell.

I do want those wheels from the RRS though

Haha, wtf, over? That guy's thought process, "I shall invest in expensive cars instead of a place where I live, them cars are sure to go up in value over time...." :banghead:
I don't know about you, but my house has depreciated just like my D2. And it's had it's fair share of leaks too. Let me tell ya how great an investment a home has been for me over the last 7 years.

Shoulda bougt a LR doormobile, at least then I could have slept in it.

LOL-Real estate is one of the few things I've gone into where I was consistently profitable.

We're in for the long haul here and this one will only increase in value.

Yeah good point, in the same boat here as well. But at least there is/was hope associated with investment in real estate, unlike cars that are not collectibles, etc. Also from a point of quality of life, to me it makes little sense to have a shitty looking house (not necessarily in this case, but in general) and nice rides sitting outside of that double wide. Certain things need to balance. Kind of like seeing a pimped out Caddy or RR in the ghetto.... But to each is his/her own.

And remember, that is only a "few" of his cars. Cause obviously he spent all of his money on cars and lives in the ghetto. His neighborhood is so bad that he has cameras on every corner of his house. I say sell one of the cars and move outta the barrio dude.

I was thinking the same thing! I don't get having a new car (depreciating in value) sitting in the driveway of a rough-looking house and neighborhood!

There is a new(er) RR near here that lives at a ratty apartment complex?!

I'd rather have a decent house, garage, land ...and a few older cars!

That house looks run down to you?

The major depreciation of a new car happens well before it is ever in a garage or driveway.

That Rangie looks like the air suspension is in Limp Home mode after faulting out. Love that bump stop feel going over potholes.

The surrounding area looked a little rough. Honestly the place he took the pics of the Defender looked much worse.

I fixed my original post for you

Ah Florida, home to one of the most fabled mid-century American architecture styles.

The shitty cinder block rancher.

I hear they have special closest to hold extra pairs of jorts.
