Forget the Mustang. Was watching the news and the Chrysler 300 c was

It's an interesting looking car, sort of...looks aggressive in a
modernistic, retro kind of way. The Mustang, which also seems a pretty
cool car, apparently is Number One on the Gay Guy Shopping List.


Well, I am not gay, but I considered one until I read the write-up in
Henning's. Interestingly, I also considered the 300C. But ....

My tooling around car here in Florida is a Gen II (2004) Durango with the
"yes, it's a hemi". It is ok, has some pep and rides better than the old
Durangos. I drove it up to MA and back and then decided to take my wife's
BMW X5 that I had not driven for a while for a spin.

American cars still have a long way to go. The BMW is far superior in every
way, yet is in the same price range as the Durango. Even with a smaller 6
cylinder engine, the little Beemer rockets along. The automatic transmission
shift points are clean and crisp, unlike most American cars that slide from
gear to gear.

So, now I am kinda drooling over a BMW 545i with the sports package.
