The AMs are nice. I'm thinking the Turbo might be more my style for the 911.

I love the silver '67

I like the Turbos too. The 1997 turbos are my favorite turbos though, because that was the last year Porsche made air cooled engines. They just sound better than their water cooled cars. The GT2 is still my favorite Porsche though. Those and the 1973 Carrera RS.

1973 Carrera RS. I love this car. Very rare.

I've posted this before, but nothing sounds better than a Lamborghini Countach's V12. I could watch this over and over again just to hear the engine alone. Sounds so good.

That's interesting - we've never had problems with our BMWs. They have run great with minimal maintenance, no breakdown issues.

Sorry for not posting for a while. Thanks for everyone's input on this. I decided to keep my vehicle until it could go no longer and back in February I bit the bullet and got a new 2011 BMW 3 Series sedan with all the bells and whistles. It's been a great car so far.

Good choice Boodleboy, if anything were to happen to my Land Rover the BMW 3 series would be on the top of the list of cars I'd look at. I do have a love affair with Mustangs though. I almost bought one, but was screwed around with by the dealer and I ended up leasing a VW GTI instead. Now whenever I have to rent a car I always rent a 'stang... It kinda scratches that itch for me... A little. The Hertz 6 cylander autos are a little weak. If I were to buy one it would of course be a V8 GT manual transmission.

I'm soooo in love with Mustangs.... Black 2004 GT convertible with tan leather interior... yes pleeeease! Except: Black cars in Florida, no bueno. Even if it's a convertible. Also nowhere to put my surfboard

I currently have a 2002 BMW X5 and my dad just bought a 2009 750 Li and that thing is the most ridiculous piece of engineering I've ever seen... I'm scared to get too close to it. But I love my X5. It's got just enough bells and whistles and it's very reliable and safe.

But to have a mustang... siiiiiigh

I went out and test drove a 2011 Mustang GT (V-8 engine) when I was shopping and I loved the power. The new options inside were awesome as well. Although the comfort on the driver's seat has improved with the new models it was still a little uncomfortable and after sitting behind the BMW it made sense to me. It also took me a while to warm up to the new rear end lights on the Mustang. I didn't like the shape at first but started to appreciate it a little more after I drove one.
