Yeah, you can't beat a German made vehicle. VW, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche...

I allways heard the differance between a BMW and a porqupine is
The porqupine has the ****** on the inside.

Fine automobiles though.

The germans put out some sweet machines
You should drive one of the new 745I, makes the 740 feel like land barge. The sway bars are hydraulicly controled and as soon as the car leans it applies more pressure to that side so it corners very good.

If it looked like the one on the picture it was an E46 M3 - low 13sec car, bearly goes into the 12's stock. They are no joke especially around the curves.
With the SMG transmission (if equiped) even your Grandma' can make a low 13 sec pass.

The one on the picture is actually a CSL it's a freakin' terminator it's a factory updated - modded, race ready M3.

Those are the top of the line German beasts not including VW. You need to match them with a Corvette - Viper - 4gen F-body and they will go down.
Let's talk about German Ford, Opel, VW, their quality, performance and their price tag too are very different from the above mentioned ones.

Or...need a built up truck...that's more my style. I hope I find him again after I get done with everything I'm planning on.
