Just picked up my 2006 BMW Z4!

I'll have pictures this weekend, This car is ROCKIN'! I am loving everything about the car, no complaints.

For those of you driving a Audi TT or ANY 20v:

There is no turbo lag in a Z4
The Z4 shifts like a dream
The power band comes ON after 4000 RPM
The Z4 has a bigger trunk
The Z4 has a one button open/close for the rag top, no latch
-------------------------
The Z4 has no glovebox to speak of
The Z4 has no quattro
Uh.. that's it?

Pictures are coming

BMW Z4 progress

I just met with the credit manager of Southampton BMW. I asked him about Sirius Satellite radio and something I had on the Audi TT. I ordered the Audi with a plastic coating on the entire front of the car to protect it from rock chips.

I'm still on the fence about both these items, its almost $1300 more clams.

I'm really happy with this dealership than Competition BMW in Smithtown. I told the salesperson that I purchased a new 2002 E320 from Competition Mercedes-Benz and I had my 1994 E320 serviced there as well. I'm a repeat customer.

Before I went to Disneyworld in April, the Smithtown salesperson was working out the details on delivery. When I came back, he said BMW is running a great promotion, a 24 month lease!

Just for giggles, I went to Southampton BMW to price compair. Everyone there was really nice and they came back with a price that was *$1000* cheaper out of pocket?!
I left a shitty message on the Smithtown salespersons phone. He called me back and said he would match the price, then beat it by $100 bucks.

The people from Southampton have been nothing but straight up with me so I'm dealing with them.

They have to get this puppy on a truck in S. Carolina where its built and get it to me!!!!

More work on the 1982 Corvette Collector Edition

I went to Buzz Chew Chevy in Southampton to have some work done on the car. The guys at Buzz Chew did a nice job, no complaints over there. Anything is better than Ramp Chevy. You want to pull your hair out dealing with the service department.

I had the following work done:

Wheel Alignment
Bulb replacement
Fender repair

I ran over a pothole and the lower front fender came loose. I went to the Chevy dealer and looked over the parts, they are starting to get scarce! They had some sweet 06's on their lot. I was getting the feeling that I should pour gas on this sumbitch and call it a day. Then, I punched myself in the nads and said what's the matter for you? I have a paid off Corvette that I can take out anytime I want, it cost me $300 a year for insurance.

I left $140 on the cashiers desk and drove my little X-fire kitten back to Port Jeff. I had the roof off, doing 80 mph on Sunrise.

It doesnt get any better.
