probably a wise move in the current climate. Resale values are dropping like a lead weight. Track days?! you'll have to take a loan just to fill your tank! I just saw some really long lines near me here in NJ. On the highways they only change the gas prices once a week every Friday. The next morning bang 20 cent increase.
I knew I should have filled up last week instead of going for the usual half tank.
I somehow convinced myself that oil was going to drop this week...

I stoped by the local BMW dealer and that M3 does look nice too bad its a V8. Two SUV's and a V8? I think you better build a refinery in your back yard! The new 1 series looked really nice, now with 300 HP. The hard top convertible versions of the 3 and 1 are looking nice too.

p.s.
check out the pricing on Prius cars as gas goes towards $5. That may be the first non-collectable appreciating car ever!

If you're gonna miss the top down experience, you could also go the route of a future M3 cab or a 335i cab. The BMWs have much more usable back seats than the 911 cabs, and you'd still have a peppy fun car to drive around as your daily driver. JMHO.
