August 13, 201312 yr Yeah... I am about 2 of most of you little guys I bet, and 4 inches taller or so. My shoulders are so broad most vehicles are hell.Porsche seats are pretty good too. At least the 911. The chili is nice too, but I have spent less time in those.Lord the 2003 Cayenne Turbo they have at Wayzata Nissan was so awful I couldn't believe it. Seats were SHOT. 145k miles. Drove the 08 at Tonka BMW next door though to rekindle my faith in the platform.
August 13, 201312 yr Rental property needs a new clothes dryer. SOAB.What is it doing? I thought mine shit, but fixing it was UBER easy with the internets help.
August 13, 201312 yr For good measure I drove the new Exploder Sport. With a Livernois chip maybe, but I can't get over the non-leather covered dash. Otherwise it is really pretty impressive considering.

Just not in a truckI have no problem with the w140 in the snow, it's rwd but heavy as hell. I think it's 1000+ pounds heavier than the 221
August 13, 201312 yr I was really implying a sports sedan that is well balanced, but I have a problem with cars that aren't fast. Killing me now as I really don't like ANY of my options.
August 13, 201312 yr And someone will want to talk me out of long term 5.0, err 4.4L TT DI BM'er motor too huh?
August 13, 201312 yr Only option is to buy and build one up. Projects are always funNeed a good starting point though
August 13, 201312 yr Pick up a 94-96 impala. Handles good, seats like a lazy boy, and responds well to mods.
August 13, 201312 yr Admin Silly otakon convention this weekend got me seriously stuck in traffic and we could not meet up with Neal. Was all kinds of pissed.people leaving or arriving??? Both, neither?
August 13, 201312 yr Only option is to buy and build one up. Projects are always funNeed a good starting point though What has every option you want but not enough power? is there such an option out there?
August 13, 201312 yr Pick up a 94-96 impala. Handles good, seats like a lazy boy, and responds well to mods. I HATE lazy boy seats, need to have 4 doors for two car seats, tow 7k lbs, have AWD/4WD to make it up my driveway, and be faster and handle comparatively to my ML63.I also don't want a full size hog. Tried REALLY hard to figure out how to like an Escalade, but even with a supercharger they are a dog and handle like turds.

Just not in a truck I'm thankful to have 4wd, otherwise I would be stuck getting out of the driveway.
August 13, 201312 yr Only option is to buy and build one up. Projects are always funNeed a good starting point though What has every option you want but not enough power? is there such an option out there?Only real options are:2012+ Jeep SRT8 but the seats suck2008 Cayenne Turbo - but of course they were $8k cheaper a few months ago2009 BMW X5M/X6M maybe a 2010 in the 52010/11 BMW X6 5.0 I am also looking to see if there are any 2011 Cayenne V8's with the right suspension options as that may be okay too
August 13, 201312 yr As a test, I drove an 03 today with 145k. Fucking destroyed. Makes me a little worried if I get an 08 with 80k what it will be like in 5 years.
August 13, 201312 yr And now I have to find one. Really want an 08 so it has the newer motor. Allows rather rapid and super cheap upgrades to more than Turbo S power.
August 13, 201312 yr Would require a stereo install too, unlike most of the other vehicles. Mostly since the headunit/nav system blows donkey. A win8 pc/touchscreen would solve that though.
August 13, 201312 yr Rental property needs a new clothes dryer. SOAB.What is it doing? I thought mine shit, but fixing it was UBER easy with the internets help.Grinding noise even when hand spinning the drum. BIL cleaned and oiled up be bearings and no change.....
