Dude, those have been available for almost two years now. Have you been living in a cave? No not with those people.

There is one up the street from me, pretty sweet car, makes about 400bhp.

Don't tell me my buisness boy!

I am honestly insulted that you would think I cannot tell the difference between a Z3 and Z8. The Z8 has a hand built M5 motor in it, and actually moves, unlike the z3 which in debuting stock base form ran as fast to 60 as a crown vic.

I live in the land of half million dollar townhouses, and I would think that a guy who actually owns a house could afford a z8.

I know, I just kinda felt like snapping in my response. I was more surpirsed than insulted nobody has questioned a car I've seen in like 10 years.

Oh schit, I just looked and they are all Z3's. You mean the z8's are being made?

Yeah, you were Deuce, and I was kinda surprised. Were you really just joking?

Rev,
My sarcasm has been especially cutting the past couple of days. I guess I should have scaled it back a little. I was floored though, because the cars are so different.

Maybe I'll go edit that one, but then this all wont make so much sense.

Default Same problem

Happens with me all the time Deuce. I think I'm making an obviously sarcastic remark, and then it's taken at face value. So, what I really mean is, "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". OK, OK, no more cliches, LOL.

Yeah, after seeing this post, I went to www.bmw.com to see what all the fuss was about.. Man, they have some nice cars... I like that M series.... It runs a 13.3 in the 1/4mi, but geez is it expensive.....

Even the 7 series has a 4.4L V8 with a good bit of power..

I just couldn't see spending that kinda of money on one.. I would rather dump it into a new Steeda, Saleen, Rousch, etc..

Atleast they stand out, and don't have snob written all over them (no offense to anyone here, that's just how it is here). We don't have a very large rich pop., but the ones we do have have their nose in the clouds..
