But then again... that wont do for driving people around... right?

YA I second jiio's option... take a look at the Jeep SRT-8
Actually, I don't "drive many people around".
(I think I had maybe 3 clients in my car over the past 12 months - and that may be on the high side).
I work mostly with sellers and now that I own the office I'm working on doing that even less.
Unfortunately the perception that we are always driving people around is why I've been driving 4-doors for most of my professional life.

BTW, where would you put a trailer hitch on the SRT8 Jeep?

At this point i would suggest not to bother with the F10. It's still far from a real model. I bet it's still in clay stage. Hell the facelifted E60 didn't arrive, let alone bother your mind with the F10.
Oh come on BMW. Everyone keeps talking about the F10. I keep asking, but no one will ever tell me about it. I am counting on you. I promise not to argue with you.

Wow... DB7 and Dodge in the same list... I would have had a good chuckle with you as a roommate in college the morning after a night out. Put down the beer, if you're eyeing the Charger you've had enough.
I totally missed the Dodge from the list. It took me a while to find Dodge.

Wait what? those two round shiny things isnt for hooking the tow hitch to?

Actually WOW I never thought about it... I'm sure theres a place it might be one of those that extend from the bottom and come out and up instead of the triditional ones that hook up to the lower middle bumper.

Are you really considering the Jeep?

I sometimes think 550i, new M3, and keep the Z06 rather than AMG 63 of some type and keep the Z06. The M3 will be fast, but not fast enough for me to loose the Z06. And, my problem with the M3 is having to have either an SMG or a manual. Boy, I wish BMW had a sweet automatic like the Mercs do. I'd even take a Step on the M3 if it could be offered.

Is you Z06 a manual? it has to be right? So why not the M5 / M3 in SMG or manual?

That's because no one really knows what their talking about. I think speculation and rumor are fun for some people.

I hear the F10 sport package will come with shelby stripes and BMW might go back to it's 1930's tech bin and re-introduce the HEMIspherical combustion chamber used in the 328's of the era.
