Between the Mercedes and the BMW I'm a convert to the German sport sedans. I now have a strong preference for BMW. Over the years I've owned a 1987 VW Scirocco, 1988 Toyota Pickup, 1990 Pontiac Grand AM, 1993 Chevy Full Size Blazer, 1995 Ford Thunderbird, 1996 Ford Bronco, 1997 Jeep Wrangler, 2002 Jeep Liberty, 2004 Ford Escape Hybrid, 2005 MercedesC230, 2007 BMW 335i, 1993 Mazda Miata, 1967 Jeep Wagoneer, and a 1970 Triumph Spitfire.

Guess what? Gothic Charm School is now on YouTube! [link]

Genius! Five star rating. But sadly it is only a matter of minutes now before Jilli becomes a major media star and we won't have her to ourselves.

I know!

We'll just have to enjoy her while we can.

I hope she remembers the little people!

If it takes only minutes, then I'm going to be VERY ALARMED, because I'm sitting here in my jammies drinking tea.

2007 BMW 335i

I too, am a convert. 2008 BMW 335i. I love my car like a thing that is loved.

Could I be your Johnny Drama, Jilli? Tell you vaguely pathetic writer stories and offer you supplements? Beg you to show my pages to your agent? What I might lack in opportunities, I make up for in devotion.

Lucky bastard!

I went from a '71 Nova to a '92 Cavalier to a '98 Monte Carlo. I'll bet the Cavalier is still running out there somewhere and the Nova was pretty (and beefy) enough that I'm sure some gearhead rebuilt the transmission and shows it off now and then. I expect the Monte Carlo to last until someone builds a car that I really want to buy. My money is on Honda to do that.

Allyson, when I voted you were in 3rd place.
