Wonderful idea. Feel like trying it this weekend.

My wife made fun of my e60 yesterday when she read the news. Pissed me off.

BTW, will a Kia Amanti hold 3 hookers in its trunk

Have you ever looked inside the E60 trunk? The release is there... (Score: BMW=1 Kia=1)
Yeah because othervise it's impossible to get out of there.

How many people recieved emails from everyone that knows you drive a 5 series? I think I got about 6 emails from friends by 10am. I said I would rather be in my BMW than a Kia in any type of crash. And the BMW would probably avoid the crash in the first place.
I got 2 from email, and one from MSN Messenger.

You guys are hillarious...Keep up the free entertainment. Here is something the E60 does not have but the Kia Amanti does: Internal emergency trunk release. Now Rudy will feel even safer in his new Amanti.
Isn't that the glow in the dark handle inside the trunk (Boot) cover?

Even my neighbor who owns a Mercedes and Infinity brought it up, I arrived from work at the same time he did, he usually never talks to me, just waves, but this time, first thing he said was: Did you read about the crash test? I?m like, what the f... is he talking about

I think you're misinformed on that point. GM has plenty of (much more solid) Daewoo designs to import. It doesn't need to resort to Chery.

You know what, my facts are slightly off. It is Chrysler not GM. All I know is that the US is supposed to be getting some Chery cars in the near future.
