New Ride
 

Well... not quite new as I've had it for 4 months now. It was finally nice enough for me to go outside to shoot.

The 2009 and 2010 were part of the redesign so they no longer have that funky shark look to them, and somewhat resemble a mini 6-series.

This is the 3.0 non-turbo, but is overall very quick. It is quite linear, but doesn't feel as torquey as the EG33.

Handling is nowhere near as good as an SVX on coilovers, but braking is very good. Steering is kinda eh. I am currently in my convertible phase. The other vehicles I testdrove included the 350z convertible touring and the S2000. Overall I like it, but I still like driving the SVX more.

Congrats on the beemer Tim.

There is no substitute to me as of now for the SVX. I hope to return back soon and drive it again since it is just sitting in a basement for the past 3 years. There is a janitor taking care of it in terms of turning it on and off. Each time I visit, I take it for a little spin, refuel it and take it back to the basement.

My Z is being driven occasionally by my dad. The SVX is off limits to everyone :angst:... unless there is a pressing emergency (fire, volcano, tsunami, etc.. :D)

Great, another weekend convertible owner to galk at my TVR:rolleyes:. I thought about a Z3 when I got the TVR but can't stomach most Bimmer owners so I stayed away. At least I've yet to get anything but thumbs up from z owners... Seems that Miata owners lack the self confid. to do anything but give the middle finger as I rumble past 'em at 100 dB.:D
