Default no more camaro, new ride

I sold my Camaro and got a more practical car. I appreciate everyone's help as I used ls1tech's resources extensively before modding anything on the Camaro. I had fun while it lasted and I still want a z06 but in the mean time I will be driving around in this:

2003 330ci

Nice choice. My aunt's ex-husband has an '02 330Ci that he let me drive home from the dealership when he first got it. They're very nice cars and I wouldn't mind having one myself. I like that color as well.

I think i might jump on the bandwagon.....to much money, sweet, and tears on the T/A. Might look into a Escalade for a next viechle.

I don't see how a 2-door BMW is more 'practical'. It has a weaker drivetrain, gets less mpg than a 6-speed LS1 f-body, and are more costly to repair and maintain. They are nice looking cars, but you will soon see how overrated they are when it comes to reliability....

nice, I always said I would only want a z06 in replace of the fbody, but any C5 will do.
