January 28, 20169 yr Aidan doing ok? I was a wreck from whatever bug is going around.Thanks for asking He is great actually. Slept pretty much all day yesterday and last night. Ate normal today and was back to himself. Now hopefully we don't get it!
January 28, 20169 yr Sat in some fun cars today 2016's BMW M5 BMW M3 BMW M4 Maserati Gran Tourismo - I would fit if the seat rails were lengthened Maserati Quattroporte - Boo Maserati Ghibli - Don't fit Benteley Continental GT Race - Fuck me I want one Aston Martin Vanquish - So much prettier on paper Aston Martin DB9 - Same problem as the Vanquish. I also fit in neither. Aston Martin Rapide - I fit, but for way less money I'd get a Panamera. I may go back and drive it though, sales guy wouldn't shut up about how it drove for a 4 door. 2015 Jaguar F Type - I could actually own one from a fit perspective. If they can stay somewhat reliable it could be a fun car once it's depreciated for 10 years. 2014 Porsche 911 Targa - boo. Wanted a 997 pretty bad until I sat in this. The M3/4 is WAY nicer. 2013 Mercedes CL550 2012 Mclaren MP4-12 - um, no I can't drive it 2011 Ferrari California - if I had to buy a car today this would have won
January 28, 20169 yr I am shocked at the interior space of the M3. It is bigger for where I need it than the M5. The M4 is awesome for getting in and out of when I don't have the kids, but shit when I do. Pretty much nicer than everything that was a Bentley or Gran Turismo that I sat in today.
January 28, 20169 yr I have been really interested in an X6 or X5 in the tune of M.I don't know if I can make the price work, but I think I would be happier with that. I won't be mad if I end up in another 550xi however.
January 28, 20169 yr The M3 is bigger than the M5???I didn't say that. Was referring to how I fit. I am all legs, the seat moves to a position where my feet and legs have more space. I was shocked.

I won't be mad if I end up in another 550xi however.Boss has an X6 5.0 and I bet it takes your car. Seriously impressive. I really, really, really wanted the X6M when I bought the Caddy but taking my car allowance and adding $375 to it per month I couldn't do. Had the 5.0 fit in the free category for me I would have probably got one.
January 28, 20169 yr Sat in the new Camaro SS too. Forgot about that. Surprisingly I fit. Shocked to find 2 on a random lot one with sunroof and one without. The one with wasn't so good. Matches my feeling on on the ATS-V. Camaro SS + FI = price of ATS-V
January 28, 20169 yr Funny as well. I've liked the 4 door F80 M3 > 2 door M4. Today I sat in a gray M3 and gray M4. M4 looked significantly better, but there was an all black M3 around the corner and it looked better than the M4.
January 28, 20169 yr Real question is more simple. Will I like forcing my kids to climb in over the seat or go through the back door. And more importantly, how does that balance with how much easier and nicer it is for me to get into the 2 door with the larger doors.
January 28, 20169 yr Tried to see a Chevy SS and SRT Charger today as well. Those I think are but ugly, but am curious on the interiors as that matters the most.

I was shocked.I was just squeezing you for deets.Good info to know.I'm all torso and legs, but I would assume both are smaller that you.

Ate normal today and was back to himself. Now hopefully we don't get it!Best of luck!No one in my house got whatever I had. I'm getting blood for labs taken tomorrow to make sure it was just a fluke and not something more serious.How fucked up is it that I have to cancel one appointment with a specialist just to make an appointment with a different specialist?#GettingOld
