Random Observations 1.0

I ran a lot of errands around Orlando yesterday and probably crossed paths with at least 10 e92s. What happened every-time? I noticed every single driver was staring at my car (and I was staring at theirs as well ) Is it just an e9x thing? Are 3 series buyers prone to be enthusiasts? I think we are.

I drove home behind an E class coupe last night. Damn that's a good looking car and, IMO, they have the brightest f'ing brake lights in the world. Seriously, I was behind the E at a long redlight (Kirkman/Conroy for those who live in CFL) and I had to use my hand to block some of the light.

While I'm at it, if Mercedes decides to NOT make an AMG variant of the E coupe it will be a tragedy. So much potential as a car, so easy for Mercedes to do....

The new camaro already looks tired, ricey, and poorly built... so much promise, so much fail.

Maseratis are really shitty cars for the money. I pity my neighbor....

911 Turbos quietly say "I'm faster than you"

What's with the price variation on Mercs? If I go to my local stealership they want $112,000 for a used SL55. WTF? I've found ones online with similar mileage for $85,000.

What color is your E92? I may have seen you. I am north of Orlando FYI.

Also, the E92s around where I live are mostly driven by yuppies that couldn't care less about their car as long as it has status.

Hope to see you around!

well i guess the difference in price is because one is CPO and the other isnt? so your covered with warranty and ensured peak performing parts in all points.... hence the wicked difference?

that's what we call dealer price vs. wholesale price.

Wow you were right near my house

Right near Conroy/Hiawassee there's a plastic surgeons office and on any given day there's either lambos, phantoms, etc. parked out front.

Drive by there just about everyday, those surgeons live right down the street from me. I think they must be brothers or something because I think they live in the same house. Two lambos (a murceilago and a gallardo), a Lotus Elise, a Viper, a Rolls, and a few other cars I can't quite remember.

Edit: any chance you used to work out a Cardio Club? Gold's?

The sad part was the one for $85k was CPO and the one for $115 was only under the original warranty.
