Have you ever been in one nail? It's actually capable unlike the x5

Any ways I put it up as a joke for the mpg' as it only does about 8 mpg lol

Oh im sure its more capable than any bmw but still, that hardly says much for its offroad capabilities! And yeah i have been in one. The interior is utterly disgusting!
