Added a new car to the stable a few weeks ago
With my obsession for getting rid of cars every 2 years I thought I would go back to a system I had about 15 years ago and that is keep two nice cars to swap back and forth so I did not get bored as quick. Here is what I added:
The TL-S is an auto but the M3 brings back the 6 speed.

Nice M3! My friend just got one in white, not drop top though. In a few years if I were to have some disposable income I'll look into a BMW. The M5 has always been my dream car since I was really little.

Cecil, I see you go top notch with each purchase. It's nice to have choices going in to Springtime. The softtop for the sunny, warm days and the Type S for any and all occasions. But I've got to admit, I love a red convertible...I owned a Chrysler Sebring Convertible (red with a tan top) before I got my TL.

Wow...dang!...if that were my garage (and have 2 beauties like yours sitting in it)...i'd be in my garage all day, lol!
Definitely can't go wrong with either selection when choosing a ride for the night (or during the day for that matter)

I don't blame you though.

Thanks guys for all the nice comments. I really like the M3 for what it is. Raw, fabulous pickup and top end speed, handling and can't complain about dropping that top and going for a cruise. It also makes me appreciate my Type S even more. The TL just drives great, is quiet, handles very well for a front wheel drive car and is also very fast. I think I will keep the TL much longer than my usual 2 years now. Both bring a big smile to my face.
Oh yea, the clean garage is a must. Can't stand a cluttered, concrete floor garage anymore. nice to just sit down, work on the car and know you're sitting on clean epoxy

I'm kinda intertetsed in the monsterous Rockcrawling Jeep with full body armor...
I had a 2000 Xterra that looked very similar to that (and likely ALMOST as capable - IFS though), sold it last year because I was on the third battery... Kept dying because I never drove it. It was a heartbreaker to sell, as I hand built it myself. Bought a civic hybrid for the I95 commute. SC TL for Friday and Harley for the weekend...

Three Wheelin'
Yea, that is my toy as well. '88 Cherokee. 8-9" suspension lift, 35" tires, winch on the front, roll cage exterior(as you can see), ARB air locker in the front on upgraded axle shafts in the stock Dana 30, Dana 44 rear with powertrak automatic locker, 4.56 gears. Was great to rock crawl in but with 2 chitlins now it makes it hard. I rigged my front doors to pop off and I put on cage doors. Daughter can't wait to ride around like that

Nice setup on both cars and the garage. I also had painted my garage floor with epoxy and man does it really complete the room. Everyone wants to hang in the garage with the cars when they come over. I wish I had that M3 in mine and I am glad to see you have great taste in cars.
Your in the state of Virginia and you are rolling around in both cars without front plates? How does that happen?
