Just coming home from vacation in Florida(still here but looking to buy a new car).
Just came into a great deal of money and want to treat myself to a new car.
Suggestions?
Money is not an object as I have set a limit of upwards of $350k.
TEAM PITA Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.
One day I will rule the world. For now, I have to settle for this place.

2012 Mercedes Benz S63 AMG Sedan - has heated and cooled seats, along with back massagers for both front passengers, and it's automatic. they list for $150,000 with all the toys including sat tv.
sporty if you have that more in mind
Austin Martin DB9, Vanquish, or One (thats the vanquish sedan really) they start from $97,000 - $254,000 depending on the options and if you opt for the R versions, on the plus you'd be able to say to your wife "shall we take the austin dear?"
I'd suggest a ferrari, but if you buy one it's atleast a 1 to 2 years before you'd see your car.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

Some of the "older" members didn't get caught up in the fool's day prank. Thanks guys for not letting the whole cat out of the bag.
Happy April Fools.....

I'm actually floored that no one said anything after I suggested the Sloof Lirpa model from Ford (April Fools backwards)
I guess no one else has ever been taken by that name?

Sorry but I guess I'm jaded now ... both the OP and your reference to Sloof Lirpa was so obvious I didn't feel the need to respond LOL.
My reference to the sailor man was a remembrance of how he always came on April first, and posted a pic of some hot redhead he claimed he was "dating" ... I wish I could remember his handle but he moved on to Subys and he worked for a shipping company and IIRC he always seemed to think he was much better looking than he really was.
