    If you had to buy a car...

    This is just fantasy, since I can't buy a car for a while. But's assume that you need to buy a new car. You're not rich but you can splurge just a little (i.e. no ferrari or lamborginis). What car would you get?

    I really like the Mazda RX-8, Nissan Z Roadster, and the Mercedes SLK.

    I ain't hatin' on nothin'! It is strictly case-by-case...

    It is like the loud pipes thing on cars and bikes - they're great as long as they are on someone else's car or bike and not mine...

    I can admire "pimped" but not in my own driveway in most cases. Just like "that suit looks OK on you, but I wouldn't wear it..."

    just cuz you got married don't mean that you gotta get a minivan.



    and if gas wasn't an issue, that fentley would definitely be a good choice. saw one at a movie theater once with a different grille that looked really sweet.
    also, just saw a slk55 AMG on the road and was thinking the AMG's are nice.

    dunno. lotta nice cars, many of which i wouldn't mind having.

    BMW 330i maybe? CPO? The new (and thankfully not-so-bangled) ones look ok. Not as nice as the e46 IMO though.
