The rest buy it for the “macho” look.

You kidding?
This applies to >95% of Americans who drive “trucks” (formerly known as pickup trucks).

Dbags drive Range Rovers. Just buy a Toyota.

I had a Range Rover sport 2011 and just sold it at 100k miles.

I never had a problem. Ever.

I saw a 2021 Defender today on the road in Palo Alto. Strangely I thought it looked better in photos than in person. From the back and rear 3/4 it seems to really narrow quite a bit above the beltline. For whatever reason, it just seemed to make the actual passenger compartment look a little tight from that angle.

That having been said, I'd be really hard pressed to choose the Defender over the new Bronco.

I always say dbags drive audis and bmws and porsches and pretty much any nice car... But then you also have dbag kids that drive gtis and golf Rs and ford RS and STs. Oh lets not forget the dbags that drive corvettes and mustangs...

oh what about subaru wrxs? and teslas? oh my gawd. D BAGS


Anyone that drives a fast car, or fancy car, definitely exotics is a dbag to other people... or at least in reality there are dbags that drive all sorts of cars. I don't think anyone should not get a car because they are seen as dbag cars... Otherwise you be driving a toyota... which is the most boring car int he world, no thanks.

Euro trash owners are dbags, tesla owners are dbags, fast n furious are dbags, bro trucks are dbags, muscle car owners are dbags,suv owners are dbags
cyclists dbags? or only when you're driving a dbag car?

Only non-dbag in the whole list are Toyota owners. But they're boring and boring is worse than being a dbag?
Or maybe they are boring dbags... which makes them... normal?

Dbaggery is so weird.

IB4TL! (again)

Merging topics and continuing our recent logic and stereotyping......folks from New Jersey driving Range Rovers while visiting Vermont are the ultimate d-bags.

I had a '95 County LWB. Did a fair amount of offroading with it. It was not the *most* reliable vehicle I ever owned.

Then I had a '99 4.0. Really nice truck. Too nice to offroad, so it felt like I was driving around a tall Jaguar. Bought it as a dealer demo, sold it a year later. Lost exactly what my next car cost, a '95 Audi S6 avant.

Wouldn't go with another LR again, they've turned into very different vehicles. More recently had a Touareg TDi, which, thanks to dieselgate, we managed to trade up to a very nice Q7 TDi.

My next car will be a Cayenne, probably the e-hybrid. My buddy gets even better long term fuel economy with his (32ish) than we do with the Q7 (30).

Done with my offroading days...all my offroading is done on foot or on two wheels...

For the record, I do want the rover and my initials are

Oh well.

So first I'm a dbag for driving LRs. Now I'm a dbag for driving Audis.

Can we just stop with this juvenile stuff?

Life's too short to be a dbag (speaking as someone who just got back from a week's unexpected stay in a hospital...)

Not to mention long ago great poster DBRK who had terrific bicycles and cars. A very cool person!
