Will have to change the wheels though, they're too pretty.

I don't care about passenger seats I don't want anyone chirpping in my ear while while blowing my brains out in that bad boy. I'm still trying to get rid of the last one that did that.

Too much power to those rear wheels for driving in the snow. When I could swing 2 roundels at the same time, BRING HER ON!

Man, a BuckTen out the door...
it is a fine ride, but very pricey.

L, you need to squeeze a vendor to
cop one for you. You'd look fine in it!

J,
I just did some quick, mentallyIll arith: added 6% on the price;
neglected to add in the tag, etc.

Here in Hayseed County, we all get a nice annual tax bill on every
"vee Hick' kull" we own,
eg cars, scoots, watercraft, ATVs, trailers, etc., based on
"fair value", whatever the hell that means. It would be a nice
bite the first couple years on the ///M6Beast.

Let's see...I could buy a new Z06, a new RAV4, a new UJM
SlingShot, new helmet, new set of clubs and a fancy dinner
out, and still have a few quid to donate to our local soup kitchen...
Whew.

By the bye, I like your new avatar line,

BR, TheOl'Bastard

3 biggest gripes about the M5/M6 though..

1) Needs a much bigger gas tank. Been avg a crusing range of 140-150 miles before each fillup... absolutely ridiculous that I have to fill up 3-4 times a week!

2) Need to find a way to stop it from defaulting on every startup to D3 or S3.. Can't understand why you can set the default drivelogic modes

3) The exhausts sounds really muffled (almost diesel like at startup)
It would be nice to hear the v10.
