I've been away for 2 weeks already and boy do I miss my e60!!!! The nice part about it is that I am in France and I'm driving a Volvo in the meantime... Can't go wrong with a company sponsored trip

But everyone I work with here knows what I drive back home and they are like... "no power!!!"... lol... and I'm like... "yeah... I know... I'm driving a diesel!"

I've scene a few e60's here, they appear to be diesel for the most part... Everyone here thrives on driving around miniature cars and gas is quite expensive... in the range of $6.00 - $7.00 gallon, nothing close to what I pay back home.



On the Volvo's behalf, it's echo friendly... it actually turns off to save that diesel fuel. Sweet bucket seats although Hertz got the economic version with manual seat adjustment.



Anyway... just had to vent about not driving my e60! I know you guys are the only ones that could possibly understand!

Probably means "seen" rather than "scene" too! Just piling on since Krozi started it!
