Looks like you're just another F30 owner who feels he has the right to slam others who have opinions that differ from their own! :thumbdwn:

If true, that sounds like it's an add to your father's policies. But, only $30 more every 6 months or a year over the 335i policy? Just let me say that I have my doubts since the GT-R is double the...

I first noticed this "sedan" disconnect when I had a 1983 BMW 533i. Not super fast by today's standards, but plenty fast back in the day. I was 30 when I bought the car, and fortunately, had enough...

I think it's also the seating position in a sedan that causes the disconnect between actual speed versus perception. Like in a Corvette or a 911 Porsche, for example, your seating position and...

My point exactly. No offense to SuperTerp, but cars like an M5 should not be sold to anyone under 30.

What insurance company is going to write you for a car like a GT-R after you just totalled a car?

Besides the high cost of ownership for the GT-R, it's a very fast car for someone so young. I say that as a concerned father of a 25 year old. My son drives a 2011 M3 but has proven to be (knock on...

Wow! Beautiful car, country and pictures. Thanks for sharing.

I was telling my wife that we should tour Germany. A friend told her that most of Germans don't speak any English. Is that true?

Go to a Nissan GT-R Forum. Your eyes will pop out reading about maintenance costs. I've heard people having a very hard time trying to unload them used.
