hey...just because somethng is German does not mean it's ****....what an insult! I am German American and abhor being related to that sickness. I own both American and German cars; the German cars very high quality (not that they don't have their share of problems like American or Japaneses cars but they are expensive to fix), but they are sure fun to drive!

Well, I spent the day removing my bumper, winch, lights, toolbox, train horn, and stereo from my truck. I just needed to get away from it. I found that the more time and energy I spent on the truck, the more grief it gave me. The issue with the batteries draining constantly and the dealer doing nothing was the last straw. I decided that I just want a vehicle that I can drive and not have to worry about something breaking. I originally looked at some Mustangs and G35's and 350z's and Lexuses. I finally settled on a white 2008 BMW 335xi with tan leather interior. All I can say is wow. It may not have the raw power of the Mustang GT, but what the 3,0L twin turbo inline six lacks in power, it more than makes up for in handling (partly due to the awesome BMW AWD).
So, in short, I traded my 4wd twin turbo truck in for a AWD twin turbo car and cut my payment in half. For the first time in seven years, I have a car payment under $400 a month.
