so i saw a 760Li yesterday on the road: limo tint everywhere, blacked out talights rear spoiler lip and another at the top of the rear window, black deep dish rims with silver spokes and a V12 on the side. I didint realize they even made a 760 i thought all of BMW's models stoped at the 50 series. and when i looked into it i found out that, that is the most expensive model the BMW makes $130k the next highest is the m6 convertable at $109k. do all of the 7 series have V12's? and i didint realize they are rear wheel drive!

almost all bmw's are RWD...

the 7-series is pretty much the top level model. it's huge. just look at the wheels on that thing.

Rock Band 2 News!!!

If you've enjoyed a Rock Band party or two, you'll definitely enjoy Rock Band 2.
This is an interview w/ the lead designer. He addresses a lot of questions.
Including, previously purchased music for Rock Band.

Michael....I can guarantee that you will not like the interior on the MS3 after owning an RX8 for four years. I'm hating the drive every day in my 3....Mainly because of the seats. Good luck in your search. New car shopping is exciting (at least to me).

WOW!!!! What a day.

I am sure you can imagine how busy I am today. With the 4th of July weekend coming up, we have WAY too many dealerships in need of help.

But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I get this weekend off!!!!!!! Once Thursday rolls around, I will be gone by noon.


BTW - anybody want to join me at Californias largest water fight on the 4th?
Dana Point harbor FTW!!!!

So tonight I am off to go sleep on the boat in Dana Point.

If you have never been there for the fourth, it is a gigantic water fight. Everyone takes out their tenders (dinghy for you land lubbers) and start fillin up the super soakers. Even the people on land are in on it, so are the harbies, but that is unfair because they have a defribulator on the front. But what can you say, they are the cops.

well i went and test drove the speed3
my impression is it still needs alot of work.
steering is to soft, way too much steering torque
when you hit the gas in second the car wants to
take off to the left and then the right. the seating felt
ok when i took this curve, the car felt solid taking the curve.
but over all steering still too soft.
your head snapps back way too much from
trying to get up to speed, clutch too soft.
shifter too long. cute car but i would not ask my mother
to drive it, even if she could drive a stick.
and why don't they have power seats??
so i guess i'm keeping my car alittle longer.
if i get the heat problem fixed i might look into
supercharger. turbo is just too much work and care..

i had a car that ran aweful (dangers) in the summer. any other time and it was great. if you can get through the rest of this summer then you have another year to wait and see what is out there. i still say get the S5.
