Good to see I'm not alone. Now I just have to figure out how to stop my girl from getting mad at me that I spend more time with my car than I do her with her.
The gas prices do worry me a little. I have a friend in Canada who told me today he pays $1.49/Liter which is $5.60 a gallon so to fill up our cars it is $96 and since we are nearly 1 to 1 exchange rate this isn't too far off from an actual price. I'll still buy the tank of gas when it gets to $5 a gallon. My investment firm has gas slated to hit 5 to 7 dollars a gallon $USD by summer. I may have to cut back some of my "joy riding" if it goes that high.
I really just wanted to own the one and only V8 M3 before the EPA forces BMW to switch to a turbo 6cyl in (2014?) correct me if I'm wrong on the year, but I know the V8 will never be in an M3 again so I had to own one. I will probably never sell it and will continue to keep it just because I cant find it again if I sell it.
Maybe the turbo 6 will be just as quick, but I love the sound of the v8 individual throttle bodies as I push past 3 Digits before the end of the interstate onramp. Even at that point the car wants to go faster, but sanity says lift the foot off the gas.
I get out with this MASSIVE grin every time I drive it.
