Go drive one and you *might* understand. I've driven BMWs recently. Overpriced and overengineered...the perfect car for someone who needs a car to impress people. Nonsense. Overpriced and overengineered as compared to what? Your reasoning is consistent with your opinion of long distance travel on a boat, experiencing the navigation and piloting challenges and the ports visited . You'd rather fly directly to your destination and check into a hotel. Others, like me, would rather experience the trip on a boat. You're not wrong, but neither am I. Back to cars: No question that the principle of diminishing returns applies ... just like audio equipment. People with a tin ear don't appreciate fine speakers or amplifiers because they can't hear or appreciate the sound quality. It makes no sense for them to spend any more than for a cheap boombox. Fine. But for those of us that *do* appreciate high quality music reproduction, we invest in higher quality gear. A well engineered car like a BMW is the same. To some, a Yugo serves the purpose. Point A to point B. To others, the excellent engineering, refinement and driving experience of a BMW is appreciated and enjoyed. Different strokes for different folks, that's all. I can relate, from personal experience, having driven the 1500 miles from MA to FL or back many times in several different vehicles. The BMW 750 was the only one that I could comfortably drive non-stop (other than for gas or brief breaks) and arrive without feeling like a complete zombie. It had the perfect combination of suspension, seating (not too soft, not too hard) and handling to make the driving experience very enjoyable. Impossible to do in any other car or truck I've owned, and God knows, I've had a bunch of them. The only BMW that I've owned that I thought was waaaaay overdone in terms of complicated electronic controls was the '06 M5. A brand new, very advanced design, BMW had their hands full getting the bugs worked out of the software on that car. I understand the newer ones are much better. But, in terms of pure, overall performance and almost perfect engineering, they don't come close to a Porsche 911 Twin Turbo. :-) But, I'd still never attempt a 1500 mile, non-stop trip in it.

Your reasoning is consistent with your opinion of long distance travel on a boat, experiencing the navigation and piloting challenges and the ports visited . You'd rather fly directly to your destination and check into a hotel. My criteria for a car: quality engineering and assembly. good handling characteristics for the kind of driving I do. good accident avoidance capabilities. reasonable cost for parts and repairs, available from dealers who stock just about everything my car will need. reasonable sales price for new car. A few weeks ago, I was looking at a new BMW 535i sedan. With a few modest options, the sticker price was well over $60,000, about $20,000 to $25,000 more than several Japanese sedans that in my opinion have a higher level of assembly and drive just as well. I rarely drive long distances in a car...as, for example, from Maryland to Florida. I have better things to do with my time than waste two days on the interstate. |

You obviously also have faith and trust in the airlines. I don't. I don't fly, and really enjoy my driving trips to Florida. Chicago-Florida might be a more scenic trip than going from the east coast. My route is @1200 miles, and there are only 3 places where I can run into heavy traffic, barring occasional road work. Leaving metro Chicago, Nashville, and Atlanta. We always leave at dawn, taking care of the first. Nashville and Atlanta get a dawn or noon time passage. But we stop 2 nights on the way, so it's a 3 day trip. Since 1200 miles is about 18 hours driving at 65mph, you can see we stop often and get plenty of sleep. No night driving, except some minutes before dawn, and we're usually in a motel by 4 pm. Always something new to see on the trip. Coming home is a bitch though, since we overnight only once. Got to work on that part. Most is simple psychology, since we have a different mind set about ending vacation than beginning it. --Vic |

We left daughter and went to airport. She slept in. It is a 1 hr 15 minute flight to San Jose Airport. We turn in rental car, go checkin and then find out the flight is delayed. We finally leave to SJO, get my car at work, 10 minutes from the airport via taxi, and drive home 35 minutes. Daughter is pulling up the street as to the house as we turn corner above house. is a 5.5 hour drive from LAX to my house. So the 3 hours of airplane trip took longer than sleeping in and driving 5.5 hours. And this was before 9/11. |

I rarely drive long distances in a car...as, for example, from Maryland to Florida. I have better things to do with my time than waste two days on the interstate. Ah, but with a BMW you could make that trip in about 16 hours. Eisboch I've made it in 12. Bull****. DC to Jacksonville is about 700 miles. You could probably do that in 12 hours without breaking the speed limit. From where I live in Maryland to the Florida line is about 12 hours if we are not nailed by heavy traffic or construction on I-95. We don't do that anymore, though. We usually stop in the Carolinas somewhere. It's a dismal drive no matter how you do it, though. One of the major bottlenecks is south of NYC. It can take hours to go a few miles there at times.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - If you were in Maryland, you'd go to NYC to get to the Florida line????? Try and keep up. I realize you have a big defict, but at least give it a try.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Let me see. Harry was talking about going from Maryland to the Florida border. I was talking about going from Jax to western NY. YOU were talking about going from Washington D.C. to Florida. Then Harry talks again about going from Maryland to Florida, then YOU insert something about NYC......... Oh, and thanks for acknowledging my big "defict".......I take it that's a local term up there. |

And furthermore, there's almost always something on I-95 to slow you down. Something about 24 hours nonstop trips the BS detector. How big is the fuel tank and what is your mileage? I presume you wear diapers. Casady When I was young I used to go from St. Pete Fla. To Springfield Mass in 26 hours. 8 hours driving, two hour nap, 8 more hours, 2 hour nap, 8 hours in... I did not break speed limits, I could not be late. IIRC, it was 1325 miles, door to door... |
