A New Car
For the past year, I have been driving around my RSX and having a pretty good time of it. The car hasn't caused me any trouble and more often than not, it've been pretty damn good to me, so I really can't complain and I can't say that I "hate it" because I really don't, I just never really loved it one way or another.
In that vein of thought, a few weeks ago, I started to look around at different cars and wanted to see what was out there. I ended up really looking hard at a few Z3 Coupes and S2000's and thought that I really wanted a tiny car, but then I drove one. I climbed my fat 230lb ass into the small ass seat in an s2000 and quickly decided that this wasn't the car for me. I also found that the e36 chassis from the BMW's was prone to rear subframe failure, and frankly, I didn't want to have to contend with that.
What I finally ended up with was this:
It's a BMW 540i. It has a 4.4L V8 with 282hp running to the rear wheels and around 330 ft./lbs or torque. Not really too shabby and it was only around $1000 higher than what I paid for my last car.
Speaking of my last car...the RSX, well, that beauty is sitting in the parking lot of my building. It's sitting there, wiaitng to be bought. I have around 3 different people coming to look at it this weekend with an asking price a whole $100 less than I paid for it, so that's not too shabby. Worst case scenario is that Melissa drives it around for a few months while she is figuring out what kind of car she is interested in getting, but we'll see. It's nice not to have to bend to the will of the consumer and stand firm on my price.
Anyway, we'll see... it's time to head out of work, but I just wanted to post a picture of my new car. :)
