Just finished reading about this cute, little thing. Let us know when you get it and what you think
of it. It may put the M5 to shame.



"What" thing?


OK, you can call me a 'dumb ass' one time.

This thing: http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-revi...ngs-we-learned

As soon as I saw it in Road and Track, I thought of you. It is a beautiful car.



Naw, no interest in that. Although I can appreciate their quality and
engineering, I got over my attraction with BMW's and Porsche after
having them for a while. High maintenance and service centers are not
always local to you. Better off with a simple Ford or Chevy that can
be repaired by just about anyone.

The new Ford F-150 engine is impressive. Tiny little 2.7L V-6 that
develops 325 hp and 375 lb-ft of torque. Here's a video where they
tested it towing 7,000 lbs up a 6 degree grade against a Dodge Ram with
the eco diesel and a Silverado with a 5.3L V-8 towing the same load.
