My Next Car
This November my lease for Daisy will end and I'll have to decide on a new car. Daisy is lovely--a cyber green New Beetle turbo with all the upgrades. I got her whith a mere 3 miles on the clock and have really enjoyed driving her. She's the kind of car that amkes people smile. She fits in all parking spaces, has great pick-up and looks cool, all the way down to her grren/black leather interior.
However, I really miss my last car, Tipsi, a small 3-series BMW, also with all the extras. Tipsi drove like a dream and also fit in all the small parking spaces. She was white with a grey interior and I kept her immaculate at all times. The problem was that some lowlife decided that they were insanely jealous of her and brutally vandalized her with a big old rock right outside my house. That ticked me off no end and I decided that it was time for a change of automobile.
Since I've had Daisy, I really miss the suspension of Tipsi. It's so hard to enjoy my mint tea or cup of coffee whilst driving in Daisy because the ride is not very smooth. Simple things made Tipsi a better-designed car such as the glove compartment opener being closer to the driver's side rather than in the center. She had a manual transmission and so she had a little more oomph to the drive. Her stereo was really good and her handling was always reliable. But Daisy has those fabulous heated seats that make you just want to stay in the car on a cold wintry day.
Last week the big auto shows were all held and the new line of BMWs was revealed at the LA Auto Show: the 6-series is now available for order. I've always love M5s and so when I read about the M6 I had to check it out. Sweet. Check it out at the BMW M6 site. I'm thinking of the white one ... but am open to suggestions.
Of course, this car is WAY more expensive than any I've owned before so I doubt it'll happen at all. I like to dream about things though. In truth I'll probably end up getting a much less powerful car, probably another BMW as I love those cars and I love the service that comes with them.
