Buying an MP4-12C is by no means settling compared to an SLS BS. Evo released a video and it was just practically as quick as the Hyuara. I've really really grown fond of the car, especially after seeing one in person and should be interesting to see how the car depreciates in a couple of years - the market is way too hot right now.

^ That went right over my head. Been in front of my screen since 8 am.

Soo since you were so nice to the CGT, how about we go 50/50 on this one, it's practically brand new!

That's what the Panamera should've been all along... not that ugly sedan/hatchback Frankenstein.

Anyone lookin' for a used M5?

http://porschedallas.parkplacetexas....as-TX/5543957/

Owner was a previous 911 guy. Owner bought this on trade for the 911, wasn't happy, took his wife out, still wasn't happy, dealer brought him a new 911 S & took the M5 for him before the night was done.

Ok, I know I told myself I would stop looking at getting another car & just keep the TL. But, a buddy linked me this this morning, & it's hard to pass up; it's practically everything I've been looking for in a toy.
Pros:
-It's a 6-speed
-Ridiculously low miles
-Bullet proof/easy maintenance
-It's affordable.
-400Hp out of the box
-Easy to mod
-It's a fucking Vette.

Cons:
-Insurance will probably take a hit
-Have to get used to a manual again
-It's black so it'll be dirty

There is also the fact that winter will be here soon, but then again, it only snows 1-1.5 months out of the year tops. Going to go look at it tomorrow after work & hope they still have it for sale & can come down on the price just a bit.
