^ It was down to the BMW 335 or the Infiniti G37 but still looking around. It's still going to be a while before I make a move. Whatever I get, I want to put down at least 50% of the cost straight up. I guess if I were to lease, I can go get something this weekend.

Compared to me, you're in an entirely different automotive league. But, if you can wait, then wait, save up some more money, and get one of these:

Part I

Part II

If you don't like any of these cars, maybe you'll enjoy the editing.

^ That part of the first link that shows how you can adjust the handling of the car scares me. Yeah, the production is pretty good. Working for a company right now that continually employs camera people who don't know how to shoot good b-roll, or the importance of b-roll in general... some nice b-roll at the beginning.

does Dominos pay well enough to afford a BMW? or is this guy delivering something else along with the pizzas?

My guess is that it was purchased used. May even have really high miles on it.

I've seen a few delivery drivers with BMWs. Working to pay off the car loan, I guess.

i kinda like the Infiniti EX. but i wouldn't pay full price for one.





on the other hand, it looks like a chick car. something a soccer mom would buy before having kids and becoming a full fledge soccer mom.

i would rock a tiguan if i needed a baby mobile.

i'm probably gonna get an A4 at some point this or next year. i like the truck, but i don't like the truck too. i could live with a beat up ford ranger w/ high miles.

the Tiguan is meh. i wonder if it's made in Tiguana, MX. haha. i'd rather get a CRV. better looking, more reliable, better resale.

i don't know what my next car will be. probably the Evo X. but probably not. after i pay off the IX, i'll seriously consider a motorcycle. gas prices are crazy, and traffic is getting worse. i love/hate LA.
