One MEAN Looking Car

Check out the sexy clean lines on the new BMW M3 concept car! OMG. Sorry Ross, you can take your 5-series and drive it into the drink. THIS is the car to have.

I confess, I actually can't really drive an M3. I've tried. I'm so used to soft Japanese clutches, that I don't lay off the clutch and feed it gas quickly enough to keep from stalling. I stall out pretty badly. (Granted that was a test drive in a friend's car almost 8 years ago when I didn't drive regularly.)

But I so totally want this car, or the M3 SMG. The paddles are kinda nifty. I was sitting in one the other day and thinking, "This is a year's worth of my salary. BUT HOLY COW is it nice." I mean, if I had to take a machete and kill the cow they were going to use to make the leather seats, just to get this car, I would. I know the other ministers would help out, just for a chance to take the car on the track. (HELL YEAH!)

This is one MEAN looking car. That stare you down, glare at you over the tops of the glasses, and tell you to get the fuck out of the way mean. In a 'I broke my nose in a fight' mean kind of way. (I can't say I like the bump on the hood. It's exactly like a broken nose.)

This is the PERFECT SPECIMEN of what I need to conquer the left lane of the Dulles Toll Road with my "Smart Pass". Who's smart now muthafucka?

If you're in the market right now, say if you won the $370 million Mega Millions lottery, the M6 convertible with the V10 engine looks rather nice. I think it was Bugatti, though, who said, you haven't driven until you've driven a 16 cylinder. There's a couple of those out there, like the Bugatti (actually VW) Veyron.

I passed an M6 Convertible yesterday on the way to work. While I was drooling over the car, I noticed that the guy driving looked as bored as I was.

Meh. I still think the early 80s models look better. I have a somewhat battered '83 5-series which mercifully still runs, and it has that overhang-pointy-nose and big-round-headlight thing going on which I find so adorable.

No way I'm going to pony up what BMW are asking for their <strike>light planes</strike>cars. Pre-loved for me! And with what I save I can pay to have my brain cryogenically frozen until they find a cure for whatever I die of.

Cars & cryogenics, implemented Nicholas's way? Frugal, yet practical.

I like it. But then, I would - I drive a 1995 vehicle that I still like as much as the day I bought it, and have no plans to replace. I only wish I'd thought of his elegant use of proceeds.
