One of my favorites. I had a hard time picking between a 540i or M3 back in 2003. I ended up going with the M3, but wish I had gotten the 540i, I'd probably still have it. Though I would also be sitting here lamenting that I never owned an E46 M3.... I'm thinking the next car may just have to be a 540i. I have been shopping for a "fun" car, but this may be a better bet and easier to convince the wife on.
RED! With black interior and carbon trim. Also carbon fiber mirrors.
Stand out much?
lol, that's a great combo. I'd personally go for black with silver blades, but that combo sounds sick and isn't something I've seen yet. Of course, I've only ever seen 2 R8's on the road.

LOL...I agree! But....my R8 coupe was Silver with Black carbon blades...So, I wanted something different. Not a fan of the blue, white, or that brown color they have...Black was my first choice...but in Tx heat...and the dirt and swirl marks...I opted to go with red. Also...the Spyder has no side blades...wish they could have figured out a way to incorporate them, since I considered that a "signature" of the R8.
That's a beautiful car ShelbyGirl. Thanks for sharing your video.
I remember riding in one of my friends dads' Audi's back in the early 80's. I'll never forget that ride. If they could build them that nice 25 or more years ago, I can imagine what they're like now. Very nice cars!
LOL...It just came in a few weeks ago...1 of the first to hit the Gulf Coast! There was only 1 other one in San Diego as of a few weeks ago, but that may have changed by now. Have no idea what DH will decide to do with it...I'm guessing on keeping it..since we have the room at the moment in the garage, and he hates have to drive to the wharehouse to get one of his cars. But....that could all change at the drop of a dime! Once my Spyder gets here....I could care less what he does! THAT will be my daily driver. Will let you know if and when he decides to let the Z go.
When you drive that new baby home you need to time it so that you can come thru Dallas on the 1st Saturday of the month and bring it by Classic BMW for Cars & Coffee. If I know you will be there.......... I'll be there for sure. You would be a HUGE HIT if you were to bring that bad boy by there. I'll even give you a garage to park it in if you come thru Dallas Has the BMW dealer in Houston started a Cars & Coffee yet?
The teenager told me that I do not need to give my BMW up to her. IF, we get her an Audi. LOL!!!!! NOT!
Always had small sporty coupes (Z24 Convertable, Scion tC, 350Z) but decided that I wanted something bigger. Always liked the FJ.. drove a couple of other SUV's, didn't like them, test drove one and loved it. 3 months later, some knucklehead ran a stop sign full speed and flipped mine onto its roof. My GF and I walked away with barely a scratch... so went and bought another one.
I really don't need an SUV, except I feel safer in it, as people drive like morons here... I like the higher up ride instead of falling into the car, the higher head room, and the look of it.
My wife drives an '03 Maxima. Great car that will last a long time, especially since we don't drive it!
I drive an '08 Sorento, which has become the main drive mostly because we are keeping the mileage low on the Maxima for resale/trade in when the time comes. I bought it for a number of reasons.
It was really inexpensive when they had the $5K off-the-top discount.
It hauls stuff. I really needed this since my previous ride was a '95 Maxima and it didn't haul much.
It will tow 5,000 lbs. Something I will need when we move.
Not the best vehicle I've owned. But not the worst, either.
I drive the first three because........... I'M BRITISH!
The Triumph TR-6 was the last of it's breed
I have the VW because they're great/fun cars and the Porsche motor surprises anyone who dares!
I have the Ford truck because I haul show horses and it's the only thing I can tow a 60 foot fifth wheel trailer with.
Unless it's snowing, I'll ride one of my motorbikes anytime it's at all feasible in any kind of weather because I hate riding in a cage.
Two weeks ago it was a '09 Challenger R/T, because it was the coolest looking car IMO that was in my budget. And pretty fast. I love cars and get bored driving the same car for 2-3 years so I sold it and got a '10 Maxima fully loaded. I got this car because I kinda missed having 4 doors and I wanted an upgrade in features. My Challenger had no options. I hated the cloth seats. The Maxima is the 1st car I've owned with Nav, HID's, push button start, etc. Not as fast as the Challenger but it's just as fun to drive.
