I was driving to the office this morning and had a random thought about what group of fanatics performs more mods to their SUV/SAV's. My personal thought would be us....X5 Fanatics....whatcha' think.............Phil

Well, lets do process of elimination:

Merc drivers cannot possibly do mods, because they are too busy constantly repairing the car itself anyways.

Range Rover drivers take the car off-road occasionally, so I do see them doing some "off-road" type mods, but nothing serious. I mean, they already depreciate like a piano falling off a tower. Realtors don't have time for mods either.

GM? I guess this might be the winner in terms of mods. Annoying exhausts, bling bling stuff, lowering their pickups.

When was the last time you saw a modded Highlander?...........

I agree. Do you ever see any UNmodifed Yukons or Escalades on the road!! They all seem to have ugly bling bling 24" wheels.

I guess they buy Caddilac pickup trucks because they're already modded?!? Then they put on those 24" wheels. What is the purpose of this vehicle???????????
