If you could only have one car to drive for the rest of your life, what would it be?? I absolutely worship Ferrari but I'd have to go with the BMW M5 if that was the only car I could ever have. Just as fast as sports cars, but it has those extra doors for people to count when I fly by them in a race. Then if I ever get married and have kids, there will be plenty of room. So tell me the car you'd want and the reason.

I would definitely go with the same car. BMW M5. I've told all my good friends and family, if they ever win a lottery, please buy me an M5  Reason: I can drag race with Corvettes and still haul my friends, (or kids, when they finally come) around.

I love the M5, but might have to go with a F550 Maranello. Same idea. Great sportscar type performance with a back seat and GT type ammenities. And it's a Ferrari....'nuf said!  BTW, saw a 308 this weekend that had a purple metallic flip-flop paint job. IMO all Ferraris should be red anyway, but this guy needed to be crusified! Just plain tacky. :rolleyes:

I saw a red Testarossa (spelling??) three times yesterday. That's what gave me the idea to ask this question. Also, are you sure you aren't thinking of the Ferrari 456M?? I didn't think the F550 Maranello had a backseat. And have you seen the Maranello Spyder!??! That car is just so damn sweet!!

Ahhhh, you're right! I guess I can't buy the 550 now! DAMN! And I was just getting ready to whip out the checkbook. I'm not too crazy about the looks of the 456, so I guess I'll just have to stick with the Contour.  Chris

Hey Paul, if its going to be a car for the rest of your life, I'd suppose it would have to last for a long time. But say you have some problems with the car I'll pay to repair it. Now what would you take??
Chris, the 456M isn't bad looking either. Probably one of the best looking 2+2 cars I know of to date. It isn't the 550, but it isn't all that bad.

Uhh....
Kids??
Umm....
Oh well. It is bound to happen sometime. I just hope I am a little more grown up when it does. Still a kid at heart myself.
No street racing with a babyseat installed and occupied. Darn.
