Well she'd been talking about it for some time now and this weekend she finally took the plunge.
We'd been talking about getting her out of her beat-up 01 T-top Firebird (V6 & manual) into something else a little more sporty and she gave me a list of her choices & I made my recommendations on each as well as other cars she might consider.
Her choices included:
Solstice
BMW Z4
Mazda MX5
I suggested that she seeing as this’d be her daily driver that she might want to consider something a little more practical a couple of coupe/convertibles to her list just for comparisons sake to see if a sporty roadster is what she really wants.
I recommended a few different vehicles but she only liked the following from my list and actually gave them a look see before totally going back to her original choice:
Pontiac's G6 convertible. (think: 2-dr coupe with 2+3 seating and a retractable hard-top)
BMW 328 convertible with 2+2 seating.
Anyway fast forward to this weekend she ended up bringing home a Z4 & all I can say is OMG! Is my sister such a blonde! <brother his rollseyes>
Bright Red & an automatic /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/pukeface.gif (she likes the lame-O shifter paddles) And as if that wasn’t bad enough she got totally screwed on her trade (could’ve gotten twice as much to a private party) in and was racked on her lease & financing. She’s going to owe a small fortune when the lease is up.
Oh well. Big bro tried to help out but she totally ignored all my thoughts & suggestions and walked into the dealership with her check book in her teeth.
