The fact that its an automatic would kill me. Yes its quick, and probably fun to drive, but automatics get boring quickly. And its not like you need the auto, because you are not gonna be sitting in it in traffic. ---

It cost me over 50 bills to fill up my STi the other day. If I was looking for a new car i’d be looking damn hard for something that’s cheap on gas. =P Otherwise, I like those a lot. ---

I seriously was looking at an RS4 until I saw the price. Ugh. And A6 might be possible also I’m looking for a pimpy cruiser, keep in mind. ---

Why do you want/need a pimpy cruiser? You won’t be using it to commute, so why not get something thats fun to drive hard, or why get anything at all? (Sorry that last comment was the jew comming out in me) ---

LOL @ the jew comment because, I plan on doing a lot of road trips on weekends… I have freakin’ 4 weeks of vacation I was thinking of a convertable also, I can get away with that around here with the mild(er) weather. ---

Oh, well, see then this opens up the door to a PT Cruiser convertible. You could paint it like an easter egg. ---

Did he ask if YOU would buy one? I could have sworn he said, HE found his new DD. Why does everyone have to say, “well if I had $40k on a car…” get a job, make $40k, buy your dream car, then post it up here! Good choice Howie :tup: RWD+425HP V8=FUN! ---

you can get a GS300 for the price of the SRT8, or the AWD version for a few grand more. these are definatly a pimpy cruiser. ![http://www.lexus.com/assets/models/gallery/photos_popup/main_assets/exterior/GS-523_lg.jpg](http://www.lexus.com/assets/models/gallery/photos_popup/main_assets/exterior/GS-523_lg.jpg) ---

Had a chance to drive the 300 SRT-8 at the SRT track experience. The car is amazing for being so big. Handles very well…accelerates, and stops on a dime with the big Brembo’s. Great choice for the money :tup: I love the sound of the 6.1L HEMI at WOT…would sound crazy with an exhaust 😃 ---

Isn’t $40k around the poverty level in NYC? :lol: Just because you make $40k a yr, doesn’t mean you can afford a 40k car. ---
