Thanks. I agree.. already thought about selling the AMG's and getting something else, maybe a 'lil bigger, since I have the stock wheels on brand new tires I can use during winter. All I wanna do is tint, AMG spoiler, and maybe some different wheels...

I will admit that it is a much better car than I'm sure your TA was.

BMW is one of the most warranty repair prone cars as a brand in existence. I can't understand why anyone would buy anything from that company. Unless your first concern is a badge. BMWs and Benzs scream yuppie ******* to me anyway though.

He is simply saying they are appealing on a modded, not so practical level.(Heads, cam, true duals with turndowns etc.) Stock f bodies are super fun DDs but not very comfortable in stock form.

If you get a car because you yourself feel your more "grown up" because of it.. uh.. yeah.

Maybe if your business depended on it where your a contractor/construction/etc and show up to a residential in a Corvette rather than a work truck (or on the other side of the coin, owning a body shop and not having a badass shop car to show off what you can do.) I could see it..

But if your seats suck.. spend the money and upgrade it... if your dash/interior is so "cheap" spend the money and get it wrapped.. if your suspensions bumpy.. spend the money and upgrade it.. but otherwise a car is a car.. and no one outside of enthusiasts or snobs really give two ***** what your driving..

Garage queens.. god that cracks me up. F-Bodys? Really?

BTW - A manual 2004-2008 CTS-V runs nearly the same as those (16-20k depending on options.) and imo looks hot as **** as a 4 door for doing it. (On your mom comment) I'm a single guy with no kids and would rock a murdered out CTS-V as a DD every day.

But on topic, that Monte is ******* hot.

Spoken like someone younger that's never really driven something thats not a sports/sportier car. I'm not that old but it's nice not having to deal with the bullshit an fbody gives you as a dd. You are NOT going to be able to upgrade the fbody to be as nice as a Benz. Just not going to happen and to think otherwise is foolish.
