Depends on how you define "finish".

If your partner takes it in a divorce settlement, or they murder you, or pour gasoline on it and set it ablaze, those could qualify as "finish".

In the meantime, I will soldier on with "I got a great deal on this".

Looking at E36's as well. I'm quite fond of them in wide body. Something about their straight, boxy lines lend well to some added curves.

Absolutely. Either that or a side by side haha I just need to get rid of another toy first.

To Do:

1. Push the throttles of a 747-8 once it's lined up for take off. (Did it in a Full Flight Sim) but the real thing would be crazy cool

The rest of what you guys are talking about, I have been fortunate enough to mostly been there done that.

Money could’ve been spent on a nice K series car...

Germanauto · 05-27-2020, 01:15 PM

BMW Euro delivery, then drive my new Bimmer on the Autobahn, Nurburgring, and through the Swiss and Italian alps.

Oh wait...

I am an Alfa guy at heart and am looking for a mid life crisis sports car. I really need a 2+2 so I can take the boys out so the 4C just doesn't work for me.

I have my heart set on a sporty 911 cab, I could do Mustang Cab but really would want a GT350 and no cab.

By "sporty" I mean some Alcantara on the interior, a lower stance, maybe wide body if 997 ... so yeah we are talking GTS. The price point though is scary. I am conservative with $$$ (raised quite poor) but I know what I want.
