More Car Junk, we're not Done, Maybe Plan "C"

[ibified]

I gotta comment: the red wheels make it look like a hotwheels car.

White cars, in my experience, are a pain in the ass to keep clean.

The red interior is okay, but are you sure that you could live with it? are you sure it would be easy to sell later on down the road?

If the car you have is something you're happy with, I think I'd hold off and see what may come available down the pipe. September is a LONG way off, and you never know what will happen with demand between now and then.

Also, first model year on any car is more prone to problems than subsequent years. Waiting for an '08 might give BMW more time to work the kinks out.

I'm in the same boat, actually. I have an infiniti that I'm essentially happy with right now, but I would LOVE to get a 335 coupe. I'm waiting until the demand dies down a little bit though, because i have no interest on waiting for 6 months to have a car built.

Also, and you and i both touched on this - by the time you get your car, it's essentially going to be a "last years model" or close to it. Once production kinks get worked out, parts should come faster, and wait times will decrease.

I'm an engineer at AM General (we build the HMMWV and H2 at our facility) so believe me, i know what I'm talking about here.

I was thinking the same thing regarding the red wheels. Wife said, "OooooOooo" so I guess she can have red wheels when she gets her X5.

Nope No thanks.

I will honestly probably be getting the white, and I'll probably either just drive it, or put some Black wheels on it. I like the Black wheels. Has kind of an old school look to it.

Oh and Thanks for the HMMWV Spent a good bit of time in one back in the 90s, tough, strong and uh... Tough.

The white IS kinda boring. But the devil definately belongs in the red and black interior.

White is a great blank canvas. I think Revolution (aka smokin_gunz) could do wonders with it

Dood, that would be soo Rad... Have a badass Custom Paint Job on a brand New 335i?

What do you think? Dress it up like the Red Barron?

Actually I am getting pretty Excited about this car... The white and red will be the second Coupe I've had with this color Combo...

The last one though was a little more uh... Substantial

1975 Cadillac Coupe De'Ville White over red interior. Still the best Interstate car I've had.

Looked just like this only white Over red leather. 19.5 feet long, 6600 lbs, 500CI engine.

Interior... I probably have some of my own pics somewhere...

I kinda miss that thing, it was so much fun, and at the time it had everything. Cruise control, Auto Climate Control, Sunroof, and was just a hoot to drive... IT WAS HUGE!

 

[E-RACER]

Nice..I like white cars truck!!

seem to show the shape/body lines real well..if the interior was Gray or black that Would Be the ticket!!!

Congrats and Nice Car ya rich Bastid!!!...LOL........

 

[Revlis]

Bah, Hardly Rich... Just determined.

 

[snakeyezzz]

The white with the black wheels is way too bad azz. The mirrors need to stay white. It has that kinda "don't F with me look" but still classy.

 

[mattyss]

that caddy is sooooo sweet !!

(mattyss @ Mar. 16 2007,18:39) that caddy is sooooo sweet !!

Iloved the one I had and I miss it. I would have another if I had a bigger garage, but seriously. That thing wouldn't even kind of fit in my garage.

It was so nice going down the interstate and was the most comfortable car I've ever had.

White car, black or graphite colored wheels with a polished rim/lip. That would look cool.

 

[Revlis]

12 More days...

Anyone want a Mazda RX-8? Perfect condition!

We will see, I have a feeling that I may just go to an OEM 19" wheel and leave it at that. Maybe the M6 wheels.

But Something like this could work...

awwww, shiiii-dayum man-now I see your pimp-side is THERE, you just hid it for a few years!
that Caddy was Peeee-IMP!

"Throw sum DEE'S on that B****!" sorry...hear that song everyday here...

Dunno if you remember tha old M3 Liteweight they did on the E36 chassis ('94-'96 only, I think...limited prod. car with alot of excess stuff removed, i.eower seats, stereo, etc) it had some cool red-blue Checkered-Flag graphics and special badging...I think it'd look DOPE if you had that re-created on your car with some vinyl grafix-that way if you get rid of it, all ya gotta do is peel the stuff off n done-right back to stock.

check it out man-a lil Beemer history lesson might "inspire" you to find the 'Look' you really want for your car.


good luck bro-keep us posted!!

I miss that old Caddy, Getting Freaky in that thing wasn't even a challenge, It would sleep two comfortably or Three if one of them is your lady, or easy.

But yeah, got about 8 miles to the gallon, and handling was... Optional. Still Way fun car to drive. Especially white with the red Leather interior... Always felt like I was listening to the wrong music though, felt like I needed something other than NIN playing. It had 2 10" subs in the trunk, 2 6X9 Blaupunkt in the deck, 2 Blaupunkt 6" rounds in the sides, and 6.5" Mid/tweeter components up front in the doors. Driven by a couple of Pioneer Amps, and a Pioneer Detachable cd Head unit. Had No Money to eat, but dayum my car sounded good... It was all about White Zombie, NIN, Thrill Kill Cult, stuff like that.

Used to get the strangest looks from folks rollin around with NIN playing loud hair down past my shoulders, in a big ole' Caddy... Made no sense...

The 75's were fun because they were so over the top, SO HUGE that they were kind of comical.
