BMW's aren't bad either Laughing

I guess it's my deep down hidden feeling of supporting Swedish cars...even though they are both US owned now... Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

If that turns you on, well so be it Smile

Yes ridiculous fuel consumption indeed, had to re-fuel after an hour or so haha. But it wasnt my money to spend. My bad about Volvo btw. I thought about NedCar, but they just produced a lot of Volvo's, thats the only link I guess. Volvo and DAF.

Because real men (business owners) drive GERMAN cars. Mine.. Audi, A6 2.7T. There is no way I would ever drive an american piece of scrap. What's more, no one needs those old things on the road with their polluting carb engines. China is polluted enough. They don't need "muscle cars"

Going fast in a straight line don't mean shiite

Agreed Audi's are nice. But real men (btw there's still a few real men that don't own their business) drive other cars as well. Furthermore my CEO has to toppest of the line beamer and the fuken windo regs got replaced 4 times in 2 yrs...whatz up with that ?

BMW is over rated. He Probably got parts that were MADE IN USA, now that they make some models in the US. hah

Aaaaahhhhhh, love the look of the new camaro. My bro had one in high school and it was a beauty but drove like a POS.
Before I had to leave Texas for the UK, I had a 69 Buick Electra 225 convertible, completely cherry. Second largest car ever
made. Buses used to get out of my way. Drove like a dream. Once had an idiot turn left in front of me in a truck. The truck did not
survive, but my baby barely had a crushed nose.

Next car I want to rebuild, a 1972 Cadillac Eldorado, your classic pimpmobile. Smile Convertible, of course.
