Land Rover Defender!
The Land Rover Defender became the epitome of the term 'status tractor' during the yuppie era in the 1980s, only rivaled by the Mercedes Benz Geländewagen. The Land Rover Defender maintained pretty much the same design from 1948 to 2016, with a minor tweak in 1983. However, from around 2016 to 2017, the Defender looks downright unrecognizable. This transformation occurred after those quirky folks at Tata Motors in India, who now own Land Rover, insisted on ruining the vehicle with an entirely new model that bears no resemblance to the original.
Now, some neighbors of mine back where I grew up owned a Land Rover Defender from the '70s, just sitting there in the yard. It sat there gathering dust and rotting away, much to my dismay! The neighbors seemed completely clueless about cars. And if that's not enough to make you want to pull your hair out, they also threw several parties where the dreadful band deLillos played on repeat! After enduring this for several years, something incredible happened. One day, the tired Land Rover was no longer on the yard. Not long after that, the neighbors moved away, and I like to think that the Land Rover didn't make the move with them but found itself a new family that knew a thing or two about cars!
Below, you'll see a picture of a Defender taken in Africa, where these vehicles are particularly popular. That's exactly the kind of ride my deLillos-loving neighbors had.
How about a trip for grouse hunting?
