I almost bought a Z3 before the Boxster, but was not impressed with the rough ride or performance (nor the dealers asking price).
Is that a Z4? Either way, they look nice together!
Always wanted to try out the Z4...

Let me take a wild guess, he only buys white cars?

I have a 2007 Z4M Coupe - great car! But wow, a lot to handle. There was a great episode of Top Gear where they compared the Boxster S to a Z4M Roadster. Both have their strengths, but at the end of the day, the Boxster is WAY more fun to drive. Not as powerful, but I've never scared myself in the Boxster :-)

You guessed it! Oddly enough its rubbed off on me too. I've now had a white H3 Hummer, white Tahoe, white 4 Runner, and now the 986.

The M is something special. Enjoy

I was thinking about a z3 for awhile, but then I saw Ace and Gary's car (ref. SNL cartoon...look it up for a good laugh) and realized that I didn't want to be seen driving that.
