Lexus and Infinity can be misleading, as they were both originally sold to only the US market. Even now some of the models are sold under their parent company's badge in other countries. Most people mistake LR for a japanese company, not knowing Britain once had a thriving automotive manufacturing business.

where i'm at right now, duh...
well it's not surprising when 90% of the people I talk to think my Disco is a Range Rover. Just had a guy call it a range rover yesterday in fact....

and 2 years ago when i was in high school, only my close friends new it was a disco. Every other kid at school called it a Range Rover and some said "You rich bastard, I wish my folks would buy me an $85,000 car..." and then I just told them to shut up and go away.... thinking my 97 D1 is an $85,000 Range Rover, hahahaha:rolleyes:

According to the guy at AutoZone my dII is actually built in Japan by Toyota! Funny thing is he can tell me the part number for brake pads for a 1975 Gremlin X from memory!LOL!

It's like autozone, everytime i go there they look for my RRC under the brand Range Rover... takes them 5 minutes everytime to figure out it's made by Land Rover.

I know a guy who thinks they are made in Australia. I have to correct him every time.

I've got a funny one too. A few months ago I was at my county landfill and pulled up to an LR3. The lady getting out of the LR3 said to me "Isn't that cute, two Range Rovers"... I couldn't be the jackass as she was well into AARP age so I just smiled.

So you only date city girls and suburbanites? If you live in a rural area, you have to do something with your recycle items and non-compostable garbage.

No youve got the wrong idea id still check her out but i would follow her home before asking her out. I have only seen the city once and i wasnt impressed. The place where i grew up you had to drive 25 minutes to get gas.
