OTOH, it's much easier to get a girl to have sex with you in a Porsche than a Lincoln Towncar. Just ask anny.

Especially nursing home ladies. You'd have a better chance in a Hyundai than a Porche if trying to get some sweet Grandma luvn.

The real answer is to drive a big ass ford excursion, pull out the back seats and put in a mattress.

That said, I could never afford a new one and the older ones require a lot of attention. If you know how to fix cars and like to, I'd go for the BMW.

My experience with japanese cars is that everything is just done so shittily with them. The interior, the clutch, the handling. Just terrible. They're like dixie cups, one use and then throw them away.
drive my s2000 and you will change your mind about the handling. that thing is on rails.

I had a BMW Z3 for 5 wonderful years. That car begged and pleaded to go fast. I'd be doing 60 mph at the bottom of the entrance ramp in 2nd gear, and not even close to redlining. I'd take it up to the mountains and really let it work its magic on a switch-back road. Those were some sweet, sweet times. I might have over paid when I bought the car, but when it came time to sell it, that joker overpaid me. I went through a bunch of expensive tires, but it was worth it. I love me a BMW.

Hyundai = barf
