Bored with the car...
Bored with the car...
Well it's officially happened.
I am now bored with my car, and will be looking for the next 5-6 months for a replacement. I knew this was eventually coming and September ending year number 2 with my 05 C230 i'm ready for a change.
I wish this thing had more power... I have mastered it's handling limits, but I feel like a snail on the road. When i bought the car i knew it was slow, but i expected a good aftermarket support on it, especially since it was Supercharged.. Boy was i wrong.

testdrive a G35 coupe. I have a sedan right now (rental) and the interior is ****, it handles like a boat, but the power train is HELLA fun. I can imagine the coupe with some mods and a 6spd would be a pretty fun car to tool around in.
edit:
I'm probably getting an F430 or a Gallardo for my next vehicle. Just have to survive 5 more years of living poor!

I think that's part of the allure of leasing. Those who get bored early can get a new car every 2-3 years...and most places pay off the end of your lease when you re-lease. If you could mod a leased car I'd be all over leases.

just think abuot it this way. he may win the race but at the end of the day hes going home in a vw and your going home in a benz. i'm not hating or looking down upon other cars or anything i'm sure the jetta (or other similar car) owner could have gotten a benz but i'd take the comforts over speed. what i'm doing rite now is enjoying my car and building up my integra for speed. good luck with your decision
Well, i've been looking into the 06 330i Sedan. But am hesitant to jump on it because the 335 Coupe is on its way, and should be here soon. Then again i dont want to wait more then a couple of months for a new car.
It's really tough these days finding a good daily driver, priced right, with the right amount of power. I would spend $40-45k max.
I was thinking C350 but... the w203 body is almost expired, and we should be seeing a new batch of w204's shortly.
I was thinking of maybe buying a Used M3, but i'd rather lease due to my problem of being bored with cars quickly.
ah, decisions decision..
any other suggestions guys?

coupe or sedan ... this would be tough even for me. when is the coupe supposed to show up in the US?
but the 330 in black, dark windows and the right wheels looks sick too.



maybe trade up for a c350... and mod that thing out! You would already have lots of insight into gettin it to run faster
