Success! :D It's mine.
The first two pics are from my work earlier today, and the other one is in front of my garage.

My question is why don' people park in their garages and just fill them with crap.

Not everyone has garages. And if a garage's sole purpose was to store your car, there'd be no reason to have a driveway, really. It'd take up space that could be used for a garage!

Notice I said may, you may use the capabilities of your truck a lot more than the average American.

However, I do find it strange that Americans seem to overlook estate cars (wagons). When Europeans want something with a lot of space, we go for estate cars. Put the rear seats down and you have enough room to carry pretty much anything a normal person would come across.

Wagons are a little more common here in the NW USA than elsewhere I have noticed. The main reason I choose a 4x4 is I like to run around on the mountain roads (really little more than large ruts) and in the snow. I've only own an actual pickup truck once, and one thing is you have the ability to haul large cargo (landscaping items for instance) in a wagon or most SUV's this is impossible. There have been a few times where I have needed to borrow a friends pickup.

And the sound of those things and the DSG! God, I love it. :cool:

Rumors indicate DSG starting to show up in Porsches in MY09. I must admit I'm a bit skeptical, but I'm really looking forward to taking one for a spin to see if I could get used to it.

I'm a dyed-in-the-leather manual transmission luddite and I have a tough time envisioning being happy with a car that doesn't have a clutch pedal. I'm willing to keep an open mind, but I really dunno.

I drove an SMG M3 and hated it, but the DSG is a different animal altogether.

I've never had the opportunity to drive one, but I've watched plenty of videos of them and from what I can see, I think I would love it and I've loved driving a conventional manual transmission ever since the first time when I was about 12 or so. :)eek:)

I think I could get used to the quickness of the DSG (especially when accompanied by the SWEET sound of the VW R32!) and I think I would love it, even without the clutch.

Just put a 6000k HID system in my GX 470, wow what a difference. Who would think that a $54000 lexus new in 06 would come from the factory without it?!?!?

I don't know many luxury cars that come standard with Xenon lights or lights that have more of a day light temperature.
