Nice!!!

Time to go take one for a test drive.....

This past weekend I went and test drove a few cars that i've been looking at...

06 Mustang Saleen... Man is this car fast!!
06 Mini Cooper S
06 Lexus IS350

So far I like the Mustang Saleen...Not a bad price.. Yes yes i know its a ford but if you drive one you can tell they have made hugh improvements from the previous models...

I test drive the Sedan 330xi and love the car... but wanted to wait for the coupe to come out...

The Saleen I took out didn't have the S/C. It was still the Standard V8.
I liked the Cooper S handling but I think it was lacking in power... Maybe it was because i test drive the mustang before the Cooper.

The Lexus handles and drive like most Lexus did... I mean it was nice.. but it didn't do it for me... My GF is thinking of getting the IS350..

I'm leaning towards the Mustang... but then again I test drive a Xrunner 2 weekends ago and I really liked that car as well...

To its between the Xrunner and Mustang as of right now...
