With that said I had some very good option trades. Lets just say over 350% gain in just a few days, so I thought I would drive a car I've always wanted to try. I guess you could say it was a celebration of sorts !!

I guess next time I'll just buy some Dom Perignon's.

Hey, the Later remarks weren't very classy of I. I guess it's like the Opus X for me. I can afford it but it's just not enough bang for the buck(maybe a nice used one for 40K).

Then again I'm a car nut and unlike the average Beamer owner I can do major wrench work to build something that would destory it in a straight line(acceleration isn't rocket science) and hang with her on a track.

As for your analogie, I'd say your spot on but when your talking about 100K+ cars and worse Million dollar cars your talking about principles. Even Bill gates was quoted somewhere saying how insane it would be if he was driving around in a million dollar McClaren with people in his own country starving to death and being laid off by corporate evil/greed.

Nice BMW's! Somewhere in my garbage(eerr Garage if it where clean) I have nice ass headers for ya'lls M3.

Peace

John, that Toyota is a very nice truck. My Dad has a 4-door Limited TRD. That 4.7 is probably the most refined engine of any truck I've driven. He owns a business and has owned just about every make of truck out there and says the Toyota is the best truck he's ever had. I'd like to drive the new Tundra /w the 5.7 V8. That thing is supposed to be downright fast.

Nice Trailblazer! We may get one of those when we get tired of the Rubicon. Actually tossed between that and the SRT-8 Grand Cherokee. Actually with us moving to NC and taking big pay cuts either one may be a pipe dream for awile. Right now I have a 2005 Rubicon. Before that it was a 2004 CTS that I never drove because I worked in Manhattan and I refused to leave it at the train station so I went with something I knew I would drive everyday and not need a beater for the trainstation. I am still kicking myself for trading my CTS in for a Rubicon that has power nothing. The wife drives a 2004 Grand Cherokee that the lease is just about up on and she is looking to get into a 2007 Altima 2.5S or a Honda Accord EX coupe. We looked into the 07 Civic SI Coupe but she feels it's too small. Oh well, I tried! It would have been fun though!
By the way the Rubicon has a 4.5" Rubicon Express lift with 33" Nitto Mud Grapplers.

[RobinCoppell]

Get the SRT-8 and then send it here.

Yup. With everything, it all is relative...the key is being happy with that you own.
