QuoteWow, BH, it's good to know I'm not the only prick in the room!  My mother is German, so I also enjoy driving a German car for sentimental reasons (I had a TDI Passat before this car).  Let's not forget that the performance and handling can't be topped in my opinion (see: The Ultimate Driving Machine).

Yes, I was sold after doing a autocross in one 10 years ago.  The handling and breaking performance is just amazing.   I just turned 110K miles on it and have not had any major issues.  Knock on wood.  

On another note, this car is going to be the first major revolution in electric vehicles, mark my words:

I'm digging, digging deep in myself, but who needs a shovel when you have a little boy like mine.

Awesome. Wish I could do something like that. Tired of commuting at least like this.

QuoteI drive a 2004 BMW 530i.  I bought it in 2007 as 'certified pre-owned' and it came with a 2 year/50,000 mile warranty (this was a huge factor in my decision to buy).  Some of my buddies give me a hard time about driving a BMW, but none of them have a reply when I tell them what I paid and ask how much they spent on their decked-out Jeeps or trucks.  It is a lot of fun to drive on windy country roads!

Oh, and I am aware that according to some people that driving a BMW makes me a prick.  ::)




Ha!  What's the difference between a BMW and a Porcupine?

The pricks are on the OUTSIDE of the porcupine.

I also hate to tell people I drive a BMW cause it comes with a lot of negative connotations.   "Ohh, a BMW, fancy."  Uh, yeah, I paid half what you did for your Diesel F250.    The only thing I am more passionate about than BMWs and BMW motorsports is My Morning Jacket.  I love formula one and GT road racing.

This is my car:



The last car I owned was a 96 accord that I drove past 200K so I don't buy new cars very often.  Someday however, after the kids are gone, I want one of these:


so many BMW owners here... didn't know there were so many guidos here!  ;D
Oh I'll never say I knew you, but my heart can't wait to meet you on the other side

2010 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport

The first new car I've ever purchased. Before this, it was a used 06 Pontiac GP and before that a used Pontiac Vibe (super manly). Picked the new one up just over 4 months ago and I love it thus far. I had SO much fun sliding it around my neighborhood this winter in the snow. I can't wait until it snows again!

I love Subaru.

The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need.

Aha!  Another one!  That is one sweet ride Paulie.

What is the second vehicle?  The pic didn't show for me.

Old style Ford Mustang. Not only are your cars cool, they have fantastic names! I don't even know what they look like but I love these names:

Dodge Charger
Dodge Viper
Lincoln Town Car
Corvette
Chevy Camaro
Pontiac Firebird

growing up, I always wanted a dodge viper... I think I am justified:

Nice!  M Coupe!  I actually wouldn't mind having that instead of the Cayman as my dream car.  A cheap electric car to drive to work every day with a great stereo and an M Coupe in the garage.  I even wanted a black one.  You bastard! :)

Hopefully this will make you feel better.....mine's not an M! I got the image from Yahoo images and didn't notice the M part.

Mine's a 3.0 litre Coupe, nice and fast but not THAT fast!

What's a Cayman?
