Shit, go Avis for having a Volvo.

You can get one with both a V8 and a manual transmission. My local dealership had a V8, AWD, manual S80 that realllllly tempted me (went XC70). Talk about a memorable car —- so many things you wouldn't expect to see on a mid-full sedan, or a Volvo.

Any minivan. I had a Honda Odyssey (for my wife, honest), and the combination of a big V6 and a short hood, because the engine lives in mystery land under your dashboard and behind your Curious George DVDs, was terrible for working on. I tried to do the timing belt and ended up selling the car.

Why not just get an automatic, then, since you want the computah to do basic mechanical tasks for you?

10 PUSH ROBOT PENIS TO ENGAGE FORWARD MOTION GEAR #1

I don't know —- every time I visit BMW forums looking for tech, I find 2 users:

But it's not $25,000. I test-drove one and it was $43K (!!!) !!!!!

I test drove a current-gen VQ35 Altima semi recently, and, as we all know, the VQ is a great engine that is fun to drive in basically anything. It pulls better than a BMW 328. That's about all it does better than a 328, but you know, that's what Nissan/Infiniti's whole "performance" branding is based on: the VQ…

Do not make an X3M, BMW. Do. Not.

Exactly. Removing State income tax for me would amount to...I don't know, an annual fixer-upper Miata, but for him, when you're pulling down tens of millions, it's worth having the FL address.

Debadging SOME cars is more poser-ish than leaving them. I drive a BMW X3, and most people that debadge them want people to mistake it for an X5. (Source: various BMW Forums: where 17 year olds' inexperience meets the German superiority complex, a PERFECT STORM!)

Cat in a pillowcase? I'm starting to warm up to you.

You're one of them!

I was more looking at your assessment that "she doesn't seem at all like a 'cat lady.'"

THE CATS TRAVEL WITH HER (!!!) (?!?)

'tis a sad state of affairs!

They make 'em, they just have a roundel on the back and an I6 under the hood.

Stopping in front of train tracks on a green light until no other cars are crossing them is going to cause a collision.

Vibe vs. Features.

Well put. $527,000,000 just for the yacht, plus 85 crew, plus assorted helicopters and a mini-submarine. NUTS!
