    If I'm driving around 5,247 pounds of vehicle, it'd better be a '72 or earlier Cadillac.

    - Where did you get the truck, honey?

    - This ain't no truck, baby, it's a SAV.

    - Well, where did you get the SAV, then?

    - M!

    - Who's M?

    - M's dead, baby, M's dead.

    A 5500 lb. vehicle going 171 mph has a lot of inertia.


    There's a reason why semi's have lower speed limits.

    @pres is Jalopnik Dolomite: I was thinking the same thing. A fat chick in a waaaay too tight red dress. With a brand new gold leaf pedicure. And an appetite for drunken doormen at The Ritz.

    For all the whiners that feel the need to complain about this, why don't you go complain about the new Range Rover too? That got barely any attention at all.

    @Alphamazing: As ridiculous as the uber-fast Rangie is, at least it actually performs as an SUV in addition to an on-road rocket. This CUV segment is just poseurish.

    Lock eyes from across the room

    down my drink while the engine vrooms

    take your keys and skip the names

    no need here for the silly games

    make our way through the smoke and crowd

    the track is the sky and I'm on your cloud

    move in close as the petrol flies

    our bodies want to touch the angels eyes

    leave this place go back to yours

    our lips first touch outside your doors

    a whole tank what we've got in store

    whisper in my ear that you want some more

    and I


    JIZZ IN MY PANTS
