Have you ever...
...thought a car was ugly in the pics or in the commercials, but when you see one in person you actually like it?
Well, I'll did. I always thought the Z4 was the ugliest damn thing I've ever seen. I like the Z3 style and have driven some (mmm ///M
), but I'd never seen a Z4 up close until yesterday.
I took my dad to the airport and after he checked in I headed back out. I go down the big ass escalators and a brand spankin new while Z4 is sitting down below in the lobby. So I smooze over there and have a looksee.
Wow, this car looks MUCH better in person. I actually liked it. The inside was nice too. I really love the roadster cars, I want one as a second/summer car.
I also saw a MB CL600 w/ these sweet AMG wheels in the parking lot. V12 proudly written on the front quarter panels...

We gave away 4 Z4's in a sales contest last spring. None of the winnders, none of them, kept the car. All took money instead.

This is very common, esp. w/ the bmw models as matt pointed out. My dad and I use to talk about how much we just hated the new 7 series. Sure enough he has one in the driveway now.
I make it a point to never judge a car from it's pics, I always wait to see them in person.
