Congrats to Sarah! 3rd shift bites. I hope she finds something good on first soon
Weather sucks. I hate rain only because of wearing glasses. If it's really coming down I will take them off to walk from my car to where ever so I don't have to deal with cleaning them.
Hope it clears up for the weekend - Mohawk drive is scheduled for Saturday...

I do like some of their road cars. Presently if buying in that segment, chances are I'd go for MB over BMW based only on looks. I do wish MB had more manual transmission in their line-up. But if really buying, I'd probably shop around only to pick up a P-car or buy an AP1
Mercedes has their own racing heritage and I respect their achievements. Clearly no Ferrari though. For that matter no company is like that.
If buying exotic, dont me, I'd go for the MP4-12C (does not have a Mercedes engine) over the 458 . But I'd buy the Jaguar XKR-S before I bought one of those

If I was going exotic car shopping, it would be a used Ferrari
Used you say, and not a brand new 458 Italia???
Yup, and there is a specific reason
I would be looking for one of the very last Ferrari's to have 3 pedals on the floor, F360 or F430
I know flappy paddles are blindingly fast shifters, measuring shifts in mili-seconds, but seriously, I would rather shift and waste a second or two in life
