Four years with my car today!

It's been a great ride if you'll excuse the pun. My beast just turned 48K miles and it still brings a big grin to my face when I start her up. It's a car I plan on keeping for a long time! So maybe the SS headers, new software and new rims are in order..........

Re: Four years with my car today!

You upstaged me!

On Friday, December 10, my beast is going to be 5 years old. It was the second one in South Florida when I picked it up. I was planning on throwing a little party on the messageboard, with pictures and candles.

I must say, its been five great years and with the options that are out there, I plan on keeping it indefinately. While I drive it every day, my commute is short - I have 29,150 miles as of today.

Re: Four years with my car today!

My E60 M5 is coming next September - could be a difficult parting unless my test drive at a race track in April convinces me otherwise..

Re: Four years with my car today!

I doubt that Gus - the E60 is meant to be miles better

Re: Four years with my car today!

for you and your car...or something like that. Let there be many more miles of great driving! I havent even had my car for 2 years and it rolled over 34k miles, so if I had your beast I think it would be at 100k by now. Drive it more! :p
