I will take the Z while I am young and return to the easy driving V Dubs in my years of old...(much later, if that even happens...)!
Sadly, the Z I was looking at in san antonio was sold  so I have to keep searching. There is a white one near by but I am looking for a color that is a bit more exciting. |
You'll find the one you want for sure. Patience. Something really good always comes up about once a month. Glad to see you settled on something nice!

I drove the 235 too. And the 435. And the 535. And the M4. And an M3.
NONE of them handled well. I ******* hated the handling. Horrible. The roll was a nightmare in all but the 435 and that one just felt too goddamn heavy to have any real fun. Don't even get me started on the 1 series. Garbage right there.
I'm sorry. Not picking. I just don't know why everyone says that BMW is superior. I didn't really even care for the interior of the 235. And I couldn't understand why a reasonably optioned one hit $50k. ****. And no. It is a cheap, nearly entry-level car. No reason for it to hit that price. And like I said. Rolled like a bitch. I just don't know why people say they drive well. They don't. and 50/50 weight distribution will hinder performance more than help it. Sooooooo....
Anyway.... I guess I need to reference my own post here. Drive what you love and don't go by what Tigger says sucks.
