Do you think your wife can score a field trip for all of use to test drive Ralph's McLaren F1?

on a serious note, this would be fantastic! the problem is, it would be cloth like seats... so essentially you'd be trading off that luxurious feel for what? a slightly cooler interior? its probably a minimal difference also. i dont know. i dont think its going to do good at all from a realistic perspective. plus, with purchasing power of america going down, it wont have the client base that it used to, and people arent spending as wildly. (err, wont be soon anyways)

I read about this in the BMW magazine a month or two ago so I wouldn't say it's incredibly new news. It sounded in there like it was going to be an M3 thing though.
