It's kinda like that with me and this car and me and the MV Agusta Brutale 910. I knew right away that I don't care much for the I-4 engine even though the bike was prettier than heck. I didn't like the way it handled either. Yet I bought the damn thing anyway and ended up selling it six months later.
It's like that with this car. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty fun romping on the throttle. 500-horsies do some decent damage, but when I take it into the canyons, I can feel the bulk of the car fighting against me and the road. It's not like the Z4. Granted that the M6 is a luxury GT and not a sport car. And I guess I just want to know what it's like to own a very expensive car. Obviously it's not a Bentley Sedan or a Rolls, but its regular MSRP is up there with the cheaper Bentleys, Ferraris and Lambos.
I guess I'm having a bit of a buyer remorse. But I'll just hop on the Aprilia scooter for a short jaunt and Mr. PeePee will be happy again.  |
I hear ya. Expensive cars are generally overrated. My M3 was a fully loaded cabriolet. I liked it but in some ways it was rather soulless to own. Living in LA I see a ton of VERY expensive cars and have friends with nice cars. To me, I enjoy being in them but most of the time I find them just okay. One of my closest friends has an SL500. Nice enough car but it really rather boring. Although I did have a friend a few years back who had some great shit, he had a new 355 and a Maranello. Those cars were something else. Personally I have an MGB convertible being built with a new modern suspension and a Ford 5.0 put into it. Cheaper than a fancy new car and cooler to boot. Plus it'll have a lot of character and a ricockulous power/weight ratio (300hp/2000#).
