Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Yeah... I am about 2 of most of you little guys I bet, and 4 inches taller or so. My shoulders are so broad most vehicles are hell.

Porsche seats are pretty good too. At least the 911. The chili is nice too, but I have spent less time in those.

Lord the 2003 Cayenne Turbo they have at Wayzata Nissan was so awful I couldn't believe it. Seats were SHOT.  145k miles.

 

Drove the 08 at Tonka BMW next door though to rekindle my faith in the platform.

Rental property needs a new clothes dryer. SOAB.

What is it doing?  I thought mine shit, but fixing it was UBER easy with the internets help.

[///M5 2,833]

For good measure I drove the new Exploder Sport.  With a Livernois chip maybe, but I can't get over the non-leather covered dash.  Otherwise it is really pretty impressive considering.

I also enjoy my seat huggers, makes cornering fun

Maybe it's the RWD.

AWD, kills some of the fun but makes snow much easier

I prefer RWD in the snow.  Just not in a truck

The Mythbusters' Breaking Bad was entertaining.

I have no problem with the w140 in the snow, it's rwd but heavy as hell. I think it's 1000+ pounds heavier than the 221

I was really implying a sports sedan that is well balanced, but I have a problem with cars that aren't fast.  Killing me now as I really don't like ANY of my options.

[S.DeYoung 968]

Only option is to buy and build one up. Projects are always fun

[///M5 2,833]

And someone will want to talk me out of long term 5.0, err 4.4L TT DI BM'er motor too huh?

[///M5 2,833]

Need a good starting point though

Pick up a 94-96 impala. Handles good, seats like a lazy boy, and responds well to mods.

Silly otakon convention this weekend got me seriously stuck in traffic and we could not meet up with Neal.  Was all kinds of pissed.

people leaving or arriving??? 

Both, neither?

What has every option you want but not enough power? is there such an option out there?

I HATE lazy boy seats, need to have 4 doors for two car seats, tow 7k lbs, have AWD/4WD to make it up my driveway, and be faster and handle comparatively to my ML63.

I also don't want a full size hog.  Tried REALLY hard to figure out how to like an Escalade, but even with a supercharger they are a dog and handle like turds.

I'm thankful to have 4wd, otherwise I would be stuck getting out of the driveway.

Miata...I want a fucking Miata. Next summer....driving with the top down.

Only real options are:

2012+ Jeep SRT8 but the seats suck

2008 Cayenne Turbo - but of course they were $8k cheaper a few months ago

2009 BMW X5M/X6M maybe a 2010 in the 5

2010/11 BMW X6 5.0

 

I am also looking to see if there are any 2011 Cayenne V8's with the right suspension options as that may be okay too

[S.DeYoung 968]

Buy the Porsche

[///M5 2,833]

As a test, I drove an 03 today with 145k.  Fucking destroyed.  Makes me a little worried if I get an 08 with 80k what it will be like in 5 years.

[///M5 2,833]

And now I have to find one.  Really want an 08 so it has the newer motor.  Allows rather rapid and super cheap upgrades to more than Turbo S power.

[///M5 2,833]

Would require a stereo install too, unlike most of the other vehicles.  Mostly since the headunit/nav system blows donkey.

 

A win8 pc/touchscreen would solve that though.
