THANKS!! I put a lot of thought into it and I think it turned out pretty good. It gets lots of looks and is fun to drive.

I am still contemplating buying another F4i gently used because it is hands down the most friendly/comfy/satisfying bang for the buck sport bike I have ever ridden. You can get a nice one for like $3500-4000. Get tired of it? Let it sit in the garage or shed take it out when you get the itch or sell for what you paid!

Crazy, I had a 2007 that looked just like that. Mine had a bench seat with a column shifter. I loved that truck but I didn't keep it very long.

You are absolutely right! For the price of a set of wheels, you get a very well balanced bike.

I drive a Honda Fit. I have 172K miles without a single problem and 97k miles on my tires (getting replaced this Saturday). I am thinking about getting a 2014 Lexus CT F Sport or waiting for the 2015 Audi S3 so any thoughts on those I would appreciate. It will be difficult letting go of the Honda because it has been such a great car.

2011 Clubman S 6spd. Nice to see some MINI owners in here. I drive it like it stole it and still get 25.6mpg. I was nice to it once, and got 38mpg on the highway...took way too much self control.

Z06 when it's nice.

Only kidding. Although, if not for the C130J, there'd be NO Z06 in my possession.

2012 G37S 6MT. Had 9k on it when I bought it, has 12k now. Best daily driver I could have; fast, comfortable, luxurious, manual, sleek to look at - I love it! Haven't used it much because of this never-ending winter from hell we've had.

1998 Grand Prix GTP with 197k. Has not had an easy life, and it just will not die.

My ZO6 is my daily driver. 2007 w/ 88000 mi. Second motor at 40,000MI. SS valves at 75,000 with a cam and other stuff. Tracked on occasion. Valve train rattles like a blender full of marbles. Always has. Just more now with the cam. Going to check the push rod length some day. Smokes the tires on command. Lately I'm thinking I agree with "You have to own a V10 or V12 at some point in your life" because they sound so good. And, I'm thinking this Chevy is used up! We will see if it grenades again before I get around to trading it in.
The back up ride for beach days and Home Depot runs is a Tahoe.

I used to have a Cooper S as a daily. Switched to an E60 for the added room.
