I was thinking the same.

As you should, but that M3 is something to hold onto unless you just get tired of it....and if you do you probably just listen to the V8 and change your mind.

Link or it didn’t happen.

I was hoping this might be the case. Your reply got it stuck in my head right away regardless.

This seems like a good bet, bonus points for actually coming in at the budget.

This popped into my head, sorry but I had to.

Of course you missed her acknowledging she didn’t miss it.

I was thinking this exact thing. I would have been concerned if you didn’t recommend the Viper.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. When I originally said it I was thinking it would likely need to be a 996 or Boxster to make the budget easier, but was surprised at 997 prices. While they would have to look at ones with slightly higher mileage, they could still get a Carrera S.

This is the ultimate example of ‘username checks out’.

You act like all of us (sedan/hatchback owners) haven’t been in a crossover/SUV?

one of the most misguided, short-sighted mistakes of the decade in the industry.

Right?! Additionally, I love that they went to the trouble of making the bed cap and molding going up to the rear window (what used to be the C-Pillar I suppose) reminiscent of all of their actual utes.

Do you actually know that’s what happened? A better assumption would be that this was a private sale done on his own time.

He most likely is, but at the same time this lady bought a brand new car and drove it 423 miles a year (8 per week). It would appear she flat out forgot about it.
