I drive my dads old ML55 AMG with its gas guzzling 5.5 liter 347 HP V8, I have a peekture from when I went surfing a few weeks ago and I did some mean AWD doughnuts in the sand and some off roading it was a pain cleaning it though, so now this is my primary car becuase I got into an accident today. but it shouldn't be tough.

1998 BMW 740iL and a 98 Expedition...hence the small car Used to drive the Expedition daily and spent over $600/month in gas. My MINI I drive just as much and am spending only 200/month for gas- it's amazing!! But we kept the other cars for convenience.

06 TDI Jetta.

Great car, 44-42 mpg as long as I have not been driving it. Surprisingly it does not have the strongest acceleration in first gear. It actually pulls harder in second. I think it is because first is just too short, and it is over before the turbo gets spun up. It handles pretty good for a 4-door car, and takes to freeways well. It's what made me really hate driving a 3/4 ton truck for a daily driver. Since it was such a good car, the GTI really kinda paled when comparing their interiors. So, we test drove a mini...


I am sure you already know the rest.

Factory Five Cobra for "top down days". Both cars a blast to drive, although worlds apart in many ways.
