Well he wouldn't bring it into MD unless it was on a direct path to GB on a Saturday night, so no luck there.

M3's don't handle that well. I heard of one in Canada that crashed into a wall recently.

Still, an M3 is obviously the best bang for the buck under 100k (ignore the main topic car of this thread pl0x)

Oil hit $100/bbl today. Be careful what you wish for. T. Boone Pickens said we could see $5.00 gasoline very soon.

I've never driven the Boss but I did really enjoy the M3's handling. Good car. Just wasn't a stand-out-enough car for me to buy again
