How the fug did that guy and his wife keep from slapping that pigbitch? The kid should have spit on her. I'd have taken her for ice cream if she had.

Very cool! Not the case, don't worry. I've been driving for the last 18 years and I usually check my cars (which in the last one was a PITA since BMW decided that we don't need a oil dipstick anymore).

I would definitely get the v6, but quite honestly I'd get a prius or other gas sipper, because the amount you'd save in gas would pay for the damn car.

Gas is cheap here in Dubai... we don't find Prius driving around.

And now back to your scheduled program...

I put nearly 200K miles on my 2000 V6, it looked and ran new when I sold it. It only needed regular maintenance, never had a serious problem, it never left me stranded.
I refuse to drive a clunker in winter or a Prius or "company vehicle" anytime.

Oh you live in Dubai? In that case, just find an abandoned enzo or gold plated veyron on the side of the road.

That was during the 2008/9 financial crisis. Cars here cost about the same as in US (and much cheaper than in Europe where I came from) but gas is cheaper (less than US$ 2 per gallon).
