What next...
I have been married for 40 years. Chose my women then and never been with another, However with cars I'm a flirt. When I see someting I like I just gotta have it, unless there is a reason I can't.
There are 2 cars I have the hots for, the E class Coupe, this will be fantastic as an AMG, and the Jaguar XFR gorgeous and fast.
What car do you plan to buy next, or what do you fancy.
A small survey would be interesting.

I would love to have the Gallardo one day. I think those cars are beautiful and have great styling; however, that is way out of my budget, but maybe one day I will be able to afford one.

2006 SL55, Audi RS6, 1993 Corvette ZR1
I truly understand. I needed an anniversary edition ZR1. I drooled over the Audi RS6, after that I HAD to have a Z06. None of which filled the void completely. So now an SL55 which for me checks off all the right boxes. Though I kind of regret not spending the extra 10k for an SL65. Still all things considered it’s my only weakness and not a bad vice at that.

My SL55 is
the ultimate all around car for me, it is not my dd. The Gallardo Spyder is probably my next car in fantasy, the lines are incredible. A friend just got a Nissan GTR, I drove it yesterday, incredible, but not an open air vehicle, alot of creaks and moans which is normal for the car, fastest car I've ever driven. The SL55 is the first car I plan to keep for 6-8yrs as there is no replacement.

I am going back and forth between a Lambo Gallardo Superleggera and a Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale.
I like the Lambo, but every time I drive the CS, it is just so special. It has the character of my old F40.

Well, I always seem to wind up with cars by "accident"... I crashed one of our M3's, so my parents bought me a '93 325is to use while the M3 was in the shop but I tore apart the 325 and made it into a track car (which is coincidentally now my DD). My SL500 was actually more interesting. I needed a good winter vehicle as I cannot drive the 325 in the winter. I was looking for a Unimog in good condition but couldn't find any. So as usual I got bored and went browsing on ebay and eventually wound up looking at Mercedes... within a few hours I wound up owning my '99 SL500

I think the Lambo is my favorite,with my back can't get into or out of anything low, even the SL is a struggle sometimes.

I guess I am a simple guy so nothing exotic for me. Heck, here in Indy, many would consider my SL55 to be exotic. I have an ML and of course the SL. My perfect number three would be an E. I think an E with the 5.5 TT would be cool when they come out. Maybe the W212 body will grow on me by then. By the way, what are they going to call the E with the 5.5 TT?
