I'm guessing you are one of those guys that lives in an apartment and owns no tools (aside from your 15 piece wal-mart tool kit)

Believe it or not, there are those of us out there with more skills than you can imagine yourself having.

Renault Avantime. It's a minivan with two doors, lots of glass, and no business sense. Great because it defined the enjoyment of transportation, not so great for the money.

For some reason I can't post a picture, but everyone knows the Mercedes-Benz R63 AMG. Also known as the best sleeper ever, even though it's sort of like a van/wagon type of thing on steroids.

Uh, clearly the Nissan Murano Cross Cabriolet?

It's spot on, for the most part. My G500 rattles even on the smoothest of pavement, and I'll agree the ride is pretty terrible. With that said, it is quite top heavy, but the gigantic roll-bars work well in corners. I've been able to chase down 350Zs and 3 series through moderate twisties.

The want is strong.

because theres no fucking transmission or clutch in the car and the steering pumps are driven by the driveshaft? so to overcome the moment of the staggered tires you HAVE to give it gas to be able to steer the car? and the white/blue car that goes past the guy before Tony does is in mid-corner-slide and corrects out…

Get the moonroof and you lose the carbon fiber roof, so you're making the car heavier and raising the center of gravity. Also cutting a hole in the roof reduces rigidity.

This bad boy.

GOB's not on board

Sure, we all talk about how "Motorsport is the only real sport, because all the others only require one ball..." etc, etc, etc...BUT:

A real, full size spare. Yeah, I know tires are so much more durable these days that a flat is a rare occurrence, and the spare takes up valuable trunk space. But if I get a blowout 300+ miles from home, I'm not relying on a can of fix-a-flat or that joke donut spare.

Rear disc brakes. I understand that drums keep the base cost down, but no way I'm settling for "good enough" when it comes to brakes.

Oh how I hate my auto wipers. They never set themselves to the speed I would want, usually too fast even on their least sensitive setting. I'd rather adjust them manually to exactly the speed I want rather than have the auto wipers get it wrong 90% of the time.

you should experience heated cloth. It's even better, as it's not nearly as cold to begin with.

Once you got that, you don't go back. That thing is as addictive as heroin, even better than heated seats.

Air Conditioning.

If your manhood is so fragile as to be sacrificed should you be known to drive a minivan, it's not the minivan that's the issue.

Let's be clear, it may be fairly reliable for the next 10-20k miles, but as soon as the first major service is due, this won't look so affordable. A brake job alone is $5k. If you had no chance of affording this car when new, you have no chance of properly maintaining it now. This is not a financially prudent…
