    Nice 450! Love those tires. I thought I had gotten over wanting to upgrade our 450 to full Bro Dozer status,
    but your posts are putting the lust back in my heart! :D

    I hate to say it, but our 450 is a total pavement princess! We have not towed anything with it, and the heaviest load it's carried has been a spare tire for the wife's Cayenne. And, it's seen about as much off-road time as our California. But, it's a blast to drive, and since this is Texas, driving around with the biggest pickup truck in our small town comes with bragging rights! :p

    If you're looking for mod options I'd check out LLOD's F-250 Tremor build. Probably the most bad ass I've seen.

    Lol. When @Boots posted the modded 250, your bad a$$ truck was the one I was thinking of! That's a sweet looking ride...T

    Ha, I was gonna keep them both fairly stock at first too. Careful, I can’t stop the creeping.

    Anyone have a Macan GTS and have DD feedback?
    (I have a Cayenne TTurbo currently).

    Don’t have - but took one on a lengthy test drive, to compare side by side to our GLE63. Macan was fun, PDK was lightning quick but really missed having the feeling of the TT V8 power compared the AMG. You may also miss that feeling. It’s a great car, but definitely felt like a downgrade and felt a little girly. Lol.

    Minor update to add to my previous 2011 Kia Soul post. Just scored a 2023 GT4 allocation. It won't be delivered until October, but very much looking forward to it. I can use the GT4 as the German Shepherd hauler now and the Kia Soul for date night :p

    2017 4 Runner. Picked this up about a month ago for some off road chicanery. Bilstein 5100s on all corners and a grill guard thanks to the fine folks at Boardwalk Ferrari. Borla exhaust, Fuel rims and that rad decal thanks to the original owner...T

    Beautiful! Did you trade in the Defender? I'm faced with that decision, love my Defender but have a 2023 Range coming. Interested to hear your opinion.

    Haha, thanks. My previous GT3 had the iron (red) brakes and red stitching but I wanted to get the PCCB's this time so it ended up matching my F8 more than I wanted it to, but yes, I have a thing for the black/yellow combo so I'm happy with the results :)

    Yes the Defender is gone. It was a good car but this is on another level.

    Bast way I can describe it is that it drives like a Rolls. Incredibly comfy, super quiet, better dynamics, AWS makes a huge difference, lovely interior ... overall a huge step up from the previous gen in regards to the driving experience. You're going to love it.

    A couple of more pics now that she's clean. :)
