We will prob go but stay nearby since we have dogs and they won’t allow them in the lodging areas.

Planning to go but didn't want to put miles on the 110X and planned on taking the Escalade instead but decided not since it a Land Rover event.

Any chance they bring one of these to Colorado or are the geographies fixed / repeated?

I don’t understand people owing a new vehicle so they can avoid driving it. It’s depreciating $1000 a month sitting in your garage. Go to the event in the 110X, get it dirty, enjoy yourself.

Lol, you can't put lots of miles on a Land Rover. Unlike the Escalade with 309,000 miles already!

Do you commute to the moon? Or is that Caddy 40 years old?

Exactly. It's a thing to be consumed. Just turned over 10k this weekend on my 110X. Ironically, it was on the way down for a full day at the Biltmore course. Was a blast and will post a video soon

I understand. We have a 2006 Landcruiser with 240,000 miles. Without question, despite the age and mileage, it’s more comfortable than our fully optioned Defender 130.

Edit: After spending more time driving the two back to back, the Defender does soak up more of the minor road imperfections. The Landcruiser rides soft and floaty, while the Defender feels tighter, but seems to react faster to sudden jarring potholes, etc.

Our 100 series Landcruiser is maintained religiously and everything works, no squeaks, rattles, vibrations, etc. Even the hydraulic suspension. It does help that we recently replaced the seat foam and seat covers with full grain leather (looks 100% stock). It gets more compliments than my Porsche 993.

It's my daily and yeah it has reached the moon already. It's a 2015i Escalade platinum. Leather seats are actually good like new! Have two homes 950 miles apart

each way.

FINALLY!! I don't have to drive to the East or West coasts. It's in Texas and about an hour away. I'm in! I'll meet my son from Aggie Land. Since there will be two of us, anyone know if those prices are "per person" or "per vehicle"? I suspect the former but hoping for the later. Unfortunately, my utility trailer isn't ready so I'll be "old school" camping again. Just the way I like it!
