I cannot wait to buy a new toy. But that's a few more years off.

Have to say that is one pleasant surprise on the Benz. It doesn't eat tires like I am used to. BMW's and tires net me about 15k miles if I'm lucky.

I'm shocked at how nasty bad ass that E60 gets when power is on and S mode is ready. I didn't let them spin, but I could have made the whole test drive sideways.

Despite the TQ advantage the E55 and E63 Benz feel tame. I think the suspension is just kinder to the tires on Benz. The M5 is much more intense. It also feels lighter and tighter though.

I think your memory is old. The E55 is the nastiest of the three, BY FAR, then the E63 then the E60. The E60 has by far the best suspension though and is much better at pounding corners, but from an engine standpoint the E60 is rather tame until you really make it spin. I drove all three back to back to back and couldn't believe how soft the E60 felt.

The E55 I took for a walk must have been neutered. I could spin the tires, but it didn't feel like power.

I kept the v10 spinning high for my little trip, I have become much more bold when test driving and I pound corners hard now. A friend who I usually go car browsing with has frequently mentioned he hates how hard I corner.

In the explorer the sales guy and my buddy had white hands. I can only imagine if they had been there for the M5.

One of the Dinan guys was with me in the X5M from Motorwerks. His comment was that the gas pedal seems to have an affinity for being planted when I drive. Said it was the most aggressive test drive that was in control he'd been on. Knew I wasn't buying it at the end and asked me to come back when they got something else fun in.

The Jeep SRT I recently drove was similar. That guy was so nice I took him for a much nastier rip in the ML after.

I have to go for a ride in your ML before you say goodbye. That v8 sounds so beastly.

The M5 today would have made it sound like a kitten though. The exhaust that was on it was a bit loud. Not insane, but definitely amped up a bit, and it revs soooooo high the noise is pretty intoxicating.

I kind of miss the growls I have been hearing today.

Through the lowry with windows down at redline!

[///M5 2,833]

Wondering if I didn't miss by a year and post 996's. 2005 is the first 7 no?

[///M5 2,833]

Then the question becomes do you want the first year?

We have no plans, so it's waaaaay too easy to justify for me.

Why not a 2 door then? Almost always easier to get in for us undersized guys.

It's totally on the menu. 100%

I just cannot find anything with 50000 miles or so that is $30000

Did autotrader change their software to sucks butt at sometime today. Looks like it was written for an apple now, fucking doesn't work.<br />

Does the car explode at 50k?

996 went until at least 2006. I'm going to hop on the PC.

Too many windows open on the phone now.

Lol

Speaking of. I spent nearly 2 hours on a Ipad today at the airport. What a fucking pile of shit. I didn't realize how much Jobs meant to Apple. They are seriously going to be fucktied if they don't start innovating quick. My damn 1 year old shitty phone's interface is WAY fucking better. I am even more dumbfounded by the sheep that follow to the Apple stores now. Seriously shocking.

No. But it is indicative of wear.

Backhoe sale will finance the house rebuild. From the ground up, same ground surface, different layout, floor + livable attic.

Damn I wish I could build a house for 15k. I've seen some homes built in the Philippines that would cost 500k here built there for a little of nothing.

 

Lord I wish I could buy a range and fridge for $15k

 

 

Fucking hilarious!  I would expect to pay $1500 for both.

 

By range I meant with ovens.

 

As did I.

The company isn't what it was a long time ago.

And jobs was the key IMHO.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

I've never found one thing good about Apple aside from their seemingly more aesthetically appealing designs.

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

 

Of course if repairs were nothing I'd drive a Gallardo as my daily. Yep I'd sport snows in the winter

 

The 30K on one is ~$30K

 

Holy fuckin' buzzkill. HOW?

 

Because Italy.

[dem beats 1,223]

damn italy!

The 'usefullness' of a iPad is very limited, I can agree with that. It certainly takes getting used to.

I would much, much, much, much rather buy a P-car that has 80k and a meticulous owner than 50k and a non. So much so it isn't even fucking close.

[dem beats 1,223]

ROFLMAO.  I haven't had the website on anything but mobil for soooooooo long.

 

Signatures FTW.  I forgot all about those Sean.

 

BUAHAHAHAHA

[///M5 2,833]

I'd also much rather buy an 8 year old car with 50k than with 10k

[dem beats 1,223]

80k p car is like a 30k anything else. At least for the 911.

 

 

Just those couple years of problems with the entry 996s.
