I drive a RRS right now. Love it. Personally i wouldn't get a X5M instead of the RRS. Between luxury SUVs personally, i would stick to Range Rover or Mercades G-Wagon. But i may be bias as I'm not so concerned of HP and more about luxury. Living in LA, I never get to go fast anyways

Hi Brandon, just seeing this comment.

And I actually have to agree. The more I think about making this move, the less I like it.

Literally everyday I am saying to myself...damn, this is one sweet ride. When I walk up to it...damn, this is one sweet ride. When I get in it...damn, this is one sweet ride. When I start it up...well, you get the picture.

But when I get on it, when I want to pass someone...I am only thinking...holy shit this big heavy machine moves FAST!!!!

Not making any moves anytime soon.

At least for me, I am not. My wife is complaining that she is next. So it looks like I will get to have some test driving/car dealership fun after all.

That's what I told myself, but driving into Houston last week, stopped at my Caddy dealer and said what the heck and picked up another Escalade and traded S550. It's mandatory to have SUV in stable moving forward--this is Texas after all.

Lmfao. That is classic.

But I agree with that move completely. You had two roadsters. Better to mix it up. And this way you got to enjoy the fun of it all.

Nicely done.

I literally was stuck in traffic going into Houston. I said right then and there, maybe I need another Escalade.

Pulled in, General Manager was shocked to see me, called their MB store, got me killer price on S550 Coupe, gave me my great Escalade price and I was back on the road in 45 minutes to my meeting.

Sick puppy

Had to read through this again as I can't keep up with Paul...
I knew I should have made a poll on the last deal for how long it would last.
Congrats Paul.

Lol, not yet. Trying to motivate myself. Short list of E63 S AMG 4 matic, Z06 Roadster, Caddy C6. Also have an SUV list...Sedan or SUV is more practical obviously and if I go Corvette I will need to buy 2 cars as I need a winter car. Still have plenty of time as my lease is not up until late this year.

If I lived in a region with no real winter it would be an easy choice. I love Corvettes. I have had 12 over the years from a 1962 to a 2005. All Roadsters but one. I was a two car guy for most of those years. Last 10 or so been 1 car guy in Audi's which I really like, but I do miss the driving pleasure of a Corvette. The new models are a nice mix of old school muscle car and a sports car.

Maybe the Spring weather will help push you along

You have a lot of great choices on that list for sure
