My point exactly, Staci. The US owners are very much unlike yourself, as a general rule. The sheer numbers of Series trucks in other countries, alone, not even taking into consideration that our 5K odd defenders make up less than 15% of the total, is the salvation of the enthusiasts. You only have to take a ride around any of the suburban shopping malls (I didn't even know you moved to VA, but if you're anywhere near Tyson Corners, you'll see what I mean) and you will see that you are the atypical LR3 owner. Apart from having a modern LR in the family, that I won't even change the oil on, I have 4 or the refrigerators-on-wheels, so I'm doing my part to keep the name synonimous with the purpose-built image. Left to their own devices LR dealerships may as well dig up and repave those cute little stone slopes, since the only offroading most of todays byers do is when they accidently jump the curb. Jeez, I hope you didn't misinterpret what I said as a slight to you (though it sure sounds like you did) since right from the gitgo you showed you know where the bullet comes from.
