When shopping be sure to... Forget finding a babysitter. Bring your two year old twins with you! m Make sure one of them has the ability to scream at the top of his lungs. Encourage them to play in the cars that are in the showroom. Show them how to SLAM car doors and make sure they are able to find the horn. It's best if they are hungry and need a diaper change. Show them how their salesperson's calculator can do double duty as a hammer! Bring their filthy scummy car seats so you can fasten them into the four different used cars you want to drive. We just love this! Before leaving (without a car) make sure the chocolate milk one of them brought get's dumped on the salesperson's desk. |

Replying to: richard64 (Jan 11, 2009 9:13 am) That's quite a difference from the GM. Do you have any regrets you didn't get the Solara? If both were still in production which would you prefer? If you like the idea of a convertible, and you like the feel of a sixties type car, then you have to try a BMW 3 Series Cabriolet (hardtop convertible). Not necessarily to buy it, but to just give it a test run. It can't hurt, you are in the market so there should be no guilt about sampling it, even if it isn't suitable it might give you a better idea of what you are really looking for. When I got my first BMW I really didn't expect to buy it...I was very negative about actually buying one, but one test drive and there was no going back.
