a bit insecure about our handling are we?

even if he was dissing the CLS/TLS I'd probably have to agree. But hey, floaty handling is what luxury is all "aboat".

For 230K, I could buy a car, a decent little speed boat, and a brand new GMC 3500 crew cab long bed dually with the 8100 Vortec to tow the boat shit that would cover the slip at the marina too.

Kinda small car-boat for 230K. Maybe they should make an SUV-boat, then you won't need an extra SUV to tow it to the lake.
