love it. Just got it a month ago. So far just put tints on it and already made a huge difference. Only problem is that it's really slow and not much options to ever make it fast. This is a first time for me that I won't make a car faster. Other than that I love it and the looks makes up for the slowness

Jeep (dog hauler) = ok power for a 4x4 SUV (330 hp V8), but guzzles gas if I use as daily driver (short trips = 11 mpg).
Mini Cooper S (daily driver) = ok power for a little car (176 hp T4), excellent handling makes it fun to drive, ok gas mileage as a daily driver (short trips = ~24 mpg), but leaking coolant = $1,000 repair bill.
Maybe I should sell both and get a station wagon = probably somewhat ok gas mileage (or maybe not) and makes for a good dog hauler. As I approach middle age though, I would really like a 911 (whatever one is is excellent condition and the newest I can afford, which probably doesn't exist). Anyone know where I can get an E63 AMG wagon for cheap (kill two birds with one stone)?

330i - yes still love it, but at 235k miles, anything can and will break.
G35 - just hit 100k this week, so now its out of warranty. fighting the urge to not trade it in for a MPG monster or truck or german v8
Subaru - needs new brakes and trans for me to really enjoy the car to its fullest, but by then the motor will blow up. stupid subarus.

330i got sold to Bekah's brother (whom i bought the Subaru from), G35 got sold to CarMax.
replaced with 2013 X5 xdrive50i and 2013 Chevy Volt
X5
Pros - finally an SUV in my lineup. cargo space, higher viewpoint, etc. has everything my g35 did with more power to boot.
Cons - $$$ i'll never see again, MPG (aprox 15mpg - not too bad considering 400hp/450ftlbs)
Volt
Pros - I can plug-in at home (thanks apartment manager - free of charge), and can plug-in at work (thanks electric golf carts!) - currently at 1500 on the odometer I've used 11 gallons of gas.
Cons - Passenger side blind spot is huge, steering has ZERO communication - despite me being spoiled by BMW steering feel, its pretty obvious its a fail.
