Well today was a car hunting expedition with my father. He currently has a 2004 Volvo XC-90 SUV and is looking to get something else. We started off the day at the BMW dealer. What assholes. They didn’t even come outside. When they let us take the X5 on a test drive they wouldn’t let us take it on a couple roads we know to see how it compares to the Volvo. I was not impressed. Next we turned to the Mercedes dealer right next door. Talk about a class act. They impressed the hell out of me, but so did the Mercedes McLaren SLR they had in the show room, nothing like looking at about a $450,000 car. Mercedes has a brand new SUV that they are coming out with, the GL-450, that car impressed the shit out of me. It takes a lot to impress me with a car but this one sure did it. The salesman took us on some awesome roads to test drive the car. Up and down the freeway and was extremely helpful. Just go to the site to read up on it, in fact it’s so new they didn’t even have information on the car they just had one car there as a demo. I don’t even want to go into how great it was because I can’t think of a way to describe it right now. Just go read up on it and it will impress you. Another thing that impressed me at the Mercedes dealership was how friendly and helpful they were. BMW can shove it. Well once we got the stuff for my dad taken car of, we needed to go look at a Porsche 911 for me. Well not really but I have always loved Porsche’s so I had to go look at one. So we decided to test drive a soft top and then a hard top 911. Now that was fun. They got right up to 100 and back in no time. It was great fun. We found a nice “S” curve that we played in for a bet then decided we should go somewhere else before the cops show up. After driving the 911 now I really want to get my car done so I can go play. Even though the 911 has 325hp, it was damn near as fun as the Ford Mustang Cobra I rode in Friday night that has 450whp. Nothing really compares to burning through 3 gears, rolling burn offs at 70+ mph, taking it up to 130 to pass some cars. I guess I get involved in a lot of stupid shit on the weekends, but that’s life, life goes on. Well that’s the weekend, so far.
