I love cars. I'm a car buff. I'm not mechanically, I just love reading about new cars and driving them.
In this thread, let's talk about cars.
I've always subscribed to all the magazines, AutoWeek, Motor Trend, Car and Driver, Road & Track, and Automobile.
Because I knew so much about new cars, I started a business, a new car buying service, where I took people down to the dealership and negotiated the price of a new car with the salesperson, on their behalf. I'd charge the person $100-200 and received a kick back from the dealership for $100.
Unfortunately with the global automobile and the advent of the Internet, the day of haggling deep discounts are gone. Nonetheless, I still love talking about new cars.
Presently, I'm in the market for a new car and am open to some suggestions.
I love the BMW 335xi coupe with the Recaro seat and bigger wheels sports package, but it's kind of pricey. I love the looks of the Infiniti G37 coupe. but the BMW is a better car.
My girlfriend just bought a Mini Cooper S and I love the car. I love how you can customize the car more than any other model other than a Rolls Royce of Bentley. If I money, I'd buy a Bentley or a Maserati. Now, those are cars.
Still, the Mini Cooper S is a fun car and it gets unbelievable gas mileage. She gets 40 on the highway and 30 in the city.
Then, again, I love Mustangs. I've owned 3 GT's. They are the best bang for the buck.
General Motors is coming out with the Camaro. I nearly bought a GTO when they came out a few years ago. The driver's seat was the most comfortable seat I've sat in, including the Recaro seat in my Mustang. But, when I heard that they weren't very safe in a side impact crash, I decided to hold off.
Now, I have no idea what to buy. I like so many cars. Definitely, now that my kids are grown, I'd want a 2 door. Gas mileage isn't that important to me, as I only drive about 8,000 miles a year and only work 5 miles from my house, round trip.
The new Volkswagen GTI's received good reviews but they are expensive to maintain. The Mini Cooper, like the BMW's receive free service for 50,000 miles/4 years.
Any thoughts?
