R56 taller than a Suburban??

Never thought I'd see the day where Chubby was taller than a Suburban. Coming home from work tonight I pulled up next to this bad boy. Sorry for the blurry camera phone pic. And, yes, I was stopped at a red light.

I agree. Along with our 2 MINIs we have a 2500 series 4x4 Burb. (but I really don't want to get into a SUV debate).

Wow, a pancaked-sparkin-dually-4-door-8-foot-bed sled of awesomeness! If I had a truck that didn't need to be off-road [like just a hauler/Home Depot beeeoootch], that'd be it!

Got any pictures of your S-10?

Here's my old Blazer with a 5 inch static drop on it.

nothing wrong with those trucks that a few inches of lift and some 32 inch mud tires can't cure...

I didn't really hang out with them, just went to a couple of their shows and partied with them when they were in Detroit for the Dream Cruise a few years back. I wouldn't say I was part of their "club" but they gave me a window banner at one of the shows.
