Today was a good day in the parking lot!

Whenever I park next to a Chevy Suburban I feel good...... If its a Hummer, it makes me smile even more....

But putting Wino between a Suburban AND an International MXT makes me feel like I'm driving a hybrid!

The International XT line is the most blatant form of "vehicle compensation" I have ever seen. Soooooooo stupid. Funny pic though.

+2, but, knowing the mindset around here, it won't be long. God help us if International decides to make an SUV version

At least once a week I end up either in front of or behind this Red and Chrome H2 on my way to work. I cant help but think how funny the 2 of us look together. Kind of like an adult dinosaur and its really cute evolved baby

Ashton Kutcher has one!

Its a vehicle intended to haul large loads ... used for mostly commercial purposes (at least according to Wiki)

that's owned by the NFL linemen Orlando Brown. They had it on Unique Whips, and then did a whole job on it. There's a whole episode on it.

7-10mpg on diesel. Wow, that is HORRIBLE. Feels good to have a car that gets 30mpg

That International looks slammed, if you could call it that.
Funny how they picked next to you, and parked "correctly."

Wonder if they leave it running at the quickmart like so many people do around here (yes, every time I go to the store, an SUV is parked with the engine running... time to go to the Rant thread).

There's a red one (in pickup form) at my buddy's apartment complex! Whenever I park next to it, I feel like a midget(I forget what the PC word for that is!).
