Two i6's in the past and 2 N62's current. I brought my baby girl home from the hospital in an '04 i6 with a small sunroof. (in 2004)
Since we sold my beloved i6 for the '04 4.8is, we have taken the 4.8is through a couple dozen National Parks, we've traversed both borders, dipped our toes in both oceans (and the Gulf, of course). We have driven as far North, South, East and West as possible in the CONUS. 185k miles. I still wanna drive to Denali NP in Alaska. My daughter is in the shadow of her 20th birthday this Summer. She still brings up the road trips.
I'll trade that sh!t and whatever it costs against my old ass X5 and any beige Camry of any year, any day, anywhere, anytime. Screw reliability!
