I just put my name on the list to buy the all-electric Nissan Leaf.

I should probably mention that I just ordered 7500 watts of solar power for my house.

Well, guess I should add mine...

Had a modified 2000 VW Passat---- Totalled by a drunk driver.

With the insurance money, I bought a 97 Nissan Maxima (beater car, paid 1200 bucks for it) and bought a 1000cc's of Honda heaven: A well taken care of VTR1000F Superhawk.

Looks like a 328, 335's have a bigger "bump" on the hood, and m3's have the "vents" on the fenders, as well as M3 badge..

I currently drive a 4.4i BMW X5 w/ sport package. Big fan of German engineering. I'll say that I think 2003 was the peak year for BMWs, their new cars are beautiful, but I'm not a fan of the new steering systems BMW is putting into their larger 5 series.

However, I'd drive the hell out of a new 335i....after remapping the turbos of course.

The bad news is, my girlfriend is a huge Audi fan, so my days of getting BMWs is probably over....oh well, it was good while it lasted!

Do you do any of the work on your car? I do almost all of my own maintenance on my bimmer, they are a dream to work on...except changing the washer fluid pump, which for some reason is behind the front passenger tire under the fender and cowling .
