<<< New ride >>>

Ok, perhaps not as epic as any of Paul, Nicholas or Seth's new rides, but I'm pretty stoked!

I was a VW tdi refugee and decided to unload the polluter for this new 330e. I work only 4km from home and should be able to use virtually no gas unless I have to go out of town to visit a client.

Admittedly I'm not a gear head so I have no idea about performance and all of the that. I can say, the car is fun to drive and provides more than enough umph for me.

Thanks Paul, it's kind of black, bronze, gray depending on the light. Really unique for sure

Congratulations Brian!! I don't know if I'm more envious of the car or that you're only 4 km from work. Lol.
