Last night on my way to my g/f's house I stopped to get gas at the Exxon station right near Burger King in Merrimack (Rick, I think you know where that it) and a black BMW M5 pulled up. Sweet car!! Aren't they like $70,000!!! I wonder if the ratio of difference in cost to difference in performance is equal to the SVT.
