let me get this straight... you are fixing to buy a brand new automobile, ..and a very nice one at that..and you put a { (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)} in your post? We will miss you rip, but I think you will make it through this ordeal (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Nope, me neither, and never will be. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Still got ma guns, ma hunting dog, ma pick up truck, ma 30 acre ranch in Montana, difference is, I want a car I can own with the same engine for 15 years, only European cars can do that. After driving a BMW with 180,000 miles on it for a week-end, lets just say one knows quality when it smacks them in the face. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

LOL Ammo, whos knows, I may still make it there...I've got 12 weeks to save up money before I slap down a chunk of change for a down payment, last years con only put me back $700 bucks, ticket and all, so, maybe I'm just preparing myself for the worst..meanwhile, I had to post the pic, damn, thats a fine automobile, hope the budget fits it.

Rip, just drive down to the con and charge beers for rides once you get here. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
You could maybe even make a profit by transporting computers down for other NWers.

(http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Damn, good beer, as well as good ideas!

nice ride, but what about the economy?
I think you should just settle for a Ford Focus and make the con (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) http://www.fordvehicles.com/cars/focus/ (http://www.fordvehicles.com/cars/focus/)

VERY nice car Rip
you will love every second in it
beemers are A LOT of fun to drive. And they are very very good cars.
Smart shopping decision.
-
After SOB's shipping ordeal last year, he might be just stupid enough to drive that far.
-
LOL...after last year, my first thoughts after getting back were why NOT to drive down next year. Couldn't think of many, but being alone on a cross-country journey with Ripsnort? <shudder> (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
SOB
-
Rip 325 or 330?
-
BMW's 330D is one fast sob.
I could buy one maybe in next 15 years (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I can't help but thinking that if you order this car on Tuesday.. it is most likely that you have your 45th birthday on Monday.
I'm not implying mid-life crisis or anything rip (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I'm also wondering if SOB will fit into that car?

I've seen 11 sob's inside of old Rambler Hornet(I was one of them).
Easier to drive than tuned Volvo Amazon with almost same load 'cause automatic transmission... Hard to shift gears if someone is sitting over shifter (Not that way you pervs) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
-
Is that car certified safe for balding guys Rip? I noticed the model driving the car had a thick head of hair and I was concerned about the effect of wind burn on that smooth glacis of yours..
Maybe you should put of the convertible for a few more months and get the hair transplant first?
-
This must be what Ripsnort calls "being punished for succesfulness"
(http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I'll go for another 18 hour day.
And when i get home, I'll see if I can locate enough spare change to get some food.

Rip..
I think I saw one of these on the street here today..It looks way sportier from the front then the side. Of course it was American. Very pretty car... Guy drove it out all the way from Maryland...6000 mile round trip?

BAH! Panzy arse yuppie-mobile (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I'd wait for the new GTO, if they don't scrap it, but I'm told there to far a long to scrap the idea, ya never know. I have a contact inside the GM Tech Center BTW.
http://scgg.simplenet.com/NAIAS.html (http://scgg.simplenet.com/NAIAS.html)
Pictures of the concept, but I'm told that so far there is little deviation from this design.
The 2 outdoor pictures are 'Inside' the tech center, (been in that spot) where I saw the concept for todays TA's (the 'Banshee') a long time ago.
