Taken from any episode of Unique Whips:

Will Castro: "You got the STRUT grill on there. You're looking real big with your STRUT grill on there."

Customer: "So um... what else did you do to it."

Will: "... "

Customer: "... ... "

Will: "Did I mention the STRUT grill?"

Dan, Dan, Dan... How dare you suggest that Al Gore would tell a fib? All the "real" studies show that man is causing warming and that we are not in a cooling cycle. The sun has nothing to do with it at all.

That guy probably paid $10,000 for new wheels and a new grill.

Chris, next time you can borrow my Yukon and I'll borrow your M3.

Does that include delivery to Austin and a promise to keep it away from road courses FD's looking to blow cars into the weeds?

I can't make that promise, Chris.

It's like a fly to light when I see those mad FD's ripping up the track....at least until they blow up in the 1st or 2nd session. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I have NEVER seen an FD make it through an entire track weekend and I've seen many of them over the years. As much as anyone would like to say it's tuning error or build error or whatever, I just have a hard time believing that guys who track their FD's don't build them to be track durable, but they just don't last the whole weekend without having an issue that keeps them out of one or more sessions.

Anyway, about the swap, I will deliver to Austin though and enjoy the drive back to DFW in your M3.

primarily carry myself to and from work

I don't get why one finds an SUV appealing if this is it's main purpose?

It can carry 7 people, is huge, has all the foo-foos, blah, blah, blah...but how often are all of those things put to use?

Although there are some exceptions, it seems this is truly overkill for the situation.

Enjoy the MPG, or should I say, lack there of.

We will. My wife and I make plenty enough to cover the gas bill. I guess we just have to be pissed about the extra time that the 15 extra gallons we have to fill up compared to the S2000. DAMN..... wait... now that I think about it.... Thank you FearlessFife for bringing clarity to my life. Oh gosh. What is your paypal email address. I'm going to just go ahead and send you my monthly savings in gas every month....
