Twice the ride with half the snobbery

Here... You can see my chick mobile in the garage.

92 Grand Am. One of these days, I'm going to get spinnerz.

The X-5 was a nice bar but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE DO NOT GET SELF-LEVELING SUSPENSION. I'd rather one of you twerps go to Gulfstream and talk dookie about JC over on airliners.net rather than get a BMW with self-leveling suspension and variable ride control.

Uh, Doug, you appear to have a rather large pine cone in yard How big are the squirrels?

[Doug Taylor]

That's part of a 'bloomed' agave plant that I haven't gotten off my lazy rump to pull the rest of the stump. 110F makes me a little umm, unmotivated to do semi-strenuous yard work!

It's suburbia like anywhere else, but people think we're trillionaire snoots running amok, which ain't the case.

"Oh, these cars sell for twice the price in Germany.... this fine....luxury...automobile, it's not a car, it's an auto......mobeeeeel"

"Uhh, no they don't, bro. The 3-series is the Nissan Sentra of Germany. This thing come with floormats or not?"

What do you mean you want a test drive? Ma'am, it's a BMW. It's the ultimate driving machine.

I know what you mean. The way the bookshelf stockers walk around the B&N in Kierland with their noses in the air you would think the books were lined in gold.

Oh lord, it was:

"These cars sell themselves. We offer them under invoice to keep the name out there"

"Let the car speak for itself (ie: I'm going to tinker with my cellphone i nteh backseat as you drive)"

and, and my favorite:

"These cars sell for far more in Germany as they are the ultimate driving machine"

Me: "Uhh, not really! They're actually cheaper and have a larger variety of engine options"

Them: "Umm, no"

Me: "I've been all over Germany, seriously"

Them: "No. Well, we're selling 3's over invoice anyway, we don't bargain"

Me: "Riiiiiiight"

Bastards.

I looked at leasing a 3 last year when I got my Accord. The dealer group I worked for at the time told me to do the European delivery because that was the only way I was getting a discount on one.

[amorris311]

totally right. I can't believe i forgot about the guy with the gold jacket.

[surreal1221]

Beautiful.

A BMW will be the next vehicle we buy, and it won't be a daily driver either. I'll run the civic for as long as it'll go, but once my wife's camry is paid off. . .or an upgrade it'll be time for a new(er) 4 door sedan.

Enjoy it!

[Tim]

Nice ride.....You mean you are going to make Doug get rid of the Pacer?

[bananapancakes]

Its beautiful, congrats!

It's a car that has fantastic performance and excellent styling, but that's it. The three is more or less a high-perf Nissan Sentra with a penchant for Hefeweizen and rahmschnitzel.

I think the N. Scottsdale folks are too used to dealing with the $30,000 millionaires and folks trying to use it to represent social status or something!

But what would be absolutely pimp once I send the Grand Am out to Davis-Monthan is one of these:



And it matches my kitchen appliances! Hoo hoo!

Sweet Geezus! What a ride. You can actually use your steel wool sponge to clean the thing too. Oh yeah and DONT forget to get it with a flux capacitor. I rarely see these cars on the road anymore. Congrats Kristie, that is a beautiful car. I want a beemer.

It's not just limited to German cars.

I got the same treatment when looking for an 07 Civic Si. A car that retails at $20k

But because it was brand new and supposedly rare. People were paying $6-8k over sticker for the "unique" opportunity to be one of the first on the streets owning one.

Every dealers said absolutely no deals on the Si.

I said bye!

Not necessarily, my wife drives herself and the kids around in an 06' Lincoln Navigator and my airport car is an 04' Lincoln LS. We're both very pleased with our Made in the USA vehicles.
