S.I.V. or Special Interest Vehicle - Definition by Mike Phillips

A Special Interest Vehicle doesn't have to be old, or a street rod, or a muscle car or even a classic, antique or exotic. My definition of a Special Interest Vehicle is one that if it were parked in a large parking lot outside of a store and while you were walking into the store you looked once, and then instantly took a moment to take a second look, then whatever car it is you're looking at could probably be defined as an S.I.V.

Agreed. Even a rat rod..... park one next to a red Ferrari and no one will see the Ferrari.

I would consider both SIV type vehicles. If I were parked at our local grocery or hardware store and saw a Ferrari in the parking lot I would veer out of my path-of-travel to swing by and check it out.

I would much prefer the Rat Rod if it were in the parking lot.

I wouldn't consider a 2000 Honda 4-door Accord an SIV or any other mundane daily driver similar to this. Nothing personal against daily drivers and this is what I currently drive, it just is what it is.

I have on order a new Bronco Badlands with the Sasquatch Package. I ordered the 4-door model in Cyber Orange Metallic Tri-Coat.

I get many comments from people on how they never see any regular cab pickup trucks these days unless they are bare-bones work trucks.

Some say they didn't think that they made RC's any longer.

I tell them that I had to factory order mine, as no dealer had one (in the configuration I wanted) within 1,000 miles of me.

SIV? Hmmmm..........

I definitely consider your Ram an SIV. I have never seen one like it anywhere else.

Nice!

 

[Mike Phillips]

Yup... that's it...

You are going to be thoroughly impressed with it, Mike.

They are really awesome in person. And they drive incredibly smooth for what they are. (The one I drove was a 4-door Sasquatch as well).

Mike when did you place your order? Curious if you think you’ll be getting it soon.

I keep seeing people take delivery of their Broncos and it’s making me jealous. May have to just pull the trigger on one
