My Ride: E60 "Stripper"
Now C6 "Stripper"
The ramp is one lane and merges into the right lane of the FDR, he was in back of me and i thought i would give'em the benefit of the doubt and not cut off innocent bystanders while merging just to get away from him.
I was just gonna nonchalantly blend into traffic but this *@#^! decided to push the issue. :thumbsdown:
Anyways he probably couldn't afford an E60 he spent it all on hair gel.

The new M5 can probably hang with (or even take) that Aston, right?

The new V8 Vantage is drop dead gorgeous, and according to the reviews I've read, is an awesome car--and it's the "entry level" Aston at around $125K!:

It's funny how everything is relative.
15 years ago when I got out of college I bought my first car, a Mazda MX-6. For me, it was an awesome sports car but I saw Nissan Maximas on the road and dreamed of when I could afford one.
11 years ago I bought a Nissan Maxima and it was awesome. Fast, nice leather, great sound system. I loved it but dreamed of when I could own one of those fancy luxury division Infinitis or Acuras. A BMW to me was one of those expensive exotic cars that was a pipe dream.
5 years ago I bought an Acura TL and it was awesome. I finally had one of those luxury division cars. It was fast and loaded. A BMW 3 Series was within my sights, but I figured why buy an expensive exotic car like a Bimmer when a TL had all the options in it for $30k?
2 years ago I finally had the resources for one of those fancy exotic cars. I bought a brand new shiny black 530i, the fancy new controversial design, and was the talk of my office. I'd never had so many compliments on a car in my life. I drove the car with pride, but after getting punked by a G35 at a stop light, I knew that my perfect car could be more perfect.
2 months ago my BMW sales guy offered me a great deal (after two weeks of negotiating and saying "no thank you") on something I never thought I'd have 15 years ago -- a top of the line BMW 545. After getting punked by a G35 a few months ago, I was punking G35s -- badly. Now my perfect car is really perfect. And yet after attaining that car that I thought was unattainable, I'm now realizing that my perfect car could be even more perfect if it was an M5.
I guess it's true that we are never quite satisfied, even when we attain what we thought was the ultimate. But with that said, not a day goes by when I don't count my blessings for being able to own the Ultimate Driving Machine, and not a day goes by when someone in my office fails to remind me that I am driving what they consider to be the ultimate vehicle.
