This IS A Car!!!!

Happy new year everyone. Hope 2002 brings you and your familly more joy. Several times I have posted about my problems with my '01 E430. But man, I gotta confess, this car is great. I bought it for my loving wife but even with my loved 300ZX Tiurbo, I can't stop driving her E430. 8.3K miles since 09/01!!! and I love it. 95% of it has been highway, and a lot of that has been in the 85-90mph range on MD50 or DE13. What a car!!! 100 fels just like 55 and, knock on wood, I haven't encountered any cops yet. I gotta say, with all it's quirks, this E430 is an awesome ride - and it gets looks too!!!. Now, if I can sell my Z and her old Integra, I am getting me a 5 series Bimmer - jusy like the 5-spd. Any commnts on the Bimmr????

Yep, Nissan 350Z, this May(?). Patiently waiting to see if they can deliver 265hp in the same $30K range as the C-Coupe, as advertised. But talking about frumpy door handles, that Z may take the cake...

I am waiting, sure. I don't think I'll get the first release though. Will wait 'till things are ironed out. Besides, if I do get a Bimmer, the Z'll have to wait.
