I literally just did a search using autotrader and I see a whopping 17 within 100 miles. What online search site are you using? I sure want to see where you get to see 100 instead of the measly amount I saw.

By your name you don't happen to live in SF do you? You shoulda kept the S2k though, seeing how freaking fun it is to drive any nice sports car in and around SF, with all the hilly roads and nice back roads :D

Now that you've posted your vid I'm really tempted to take a few days off and head up to WA for the 3 day course. Dammit I shouldn't have seen that clip ARGH

San Jose successful? I wouldn't call a city that has deficit successful and just recently got unexpected windfall successful. If SJ is successful why can't the city find the money to fix all the crappy roads and stop cutting funding to the education department?

That was back in the early 20th century. In this day and age where anyone can sue anyone else over the smallest of things(and win in lots of cases), you still think companies dare to do it en masse?

Guess you either don't live in CA or are just oblivious to how bad it is here for the past 5-6 years(if not more). I'm very sure we're teetering on the brink, seeing as we have such much debt already.

Thanks for the insight on owning an M5 :) Did not know the SMG pump was that expensive, AND still fails all the time. I'm a bit scared about going with the 535 though, as it uses the same N54/N55 engine, which is notorious for having a HPFP that *might* fail again and again, or not at all. For whatever reason that…

Curious as to why you decided to downgrade from the E60 M5 to the E60 550i. I can understand the wish to try out the F10 535 after owning the E60 though.

Why do you hate that transmission? I've never driven the current GT so.

You are one lucky guy. Read story of HPFP failing right after the brand new car got off the ferry Before it was delivered to the dealership. Tons of stories of multiple failures over the length of time that you've owned yours.

He's the governor why would he need any more power in his state? He's the boss of everything there already...

The Special agent was off-duty at the time driving a state owned vehicle when he "observed" him doing 90mph. He then called an on-duty officer to pursue.

For those that don't mind where they park their Rapide, the car's cost is most likely miniscule to them. If they cared that much they would've had a chauffeur drive them to their jet. I know if I have my own jet I would not bother driving there myself, having to deal with slugging through traffic and getting annoyed,…

Well they need to get that rocketman, or whatever they're calling the decontented-mini-with-chopped-roof-but-not-as-tall-as-the-paceman thing out first. Then we'd get two hideous variants of the basic MINI on sale at the same time. Isn't that great?

Last Guardian showing up as 59.99 for me on NE. Where's the discount?

But the S63B44TU is not that different from the N63B44TU, so I doubt it will be any different for the turbo inline 6 here, compared to the N55.

A typical car is at least 3100lbs these days. Even at "only" 3000lb, that's still 7.5 times as much weight as the sport bike. What made you think having 4 contact patches was going to make the car stop shorter?

Did you really think they will sell a regular M3/4 with all these exotic lightweight material without charging a huge premium? Much More likely that they'll have another special limited model laden with CF/Magnesium/etc with weightsaving of 150lb+(or whatever they can muster) and charge 40k+ more compared to the…

He mentioned "Slightly more lightweight." Yes he did say he'd like to focus on lightweight engineering more, but the most important sentence in this quote is Slightly more lightweight, not a lot more lightweight.

The awesome VW/Audi reliability/durability + understeer-prone nature of their Quattro, what's not to like?
