Default I need help, I'm getting tempted to change car again
I'm at car #22 in my driving history at the moment, and still happy with it. My head's telling me to stick with it, but my heart's being tempted by things like a Mercedes E55 AMG. That 476BHP V8, and the comfort of an MB E class. Someone slap me upside the head. I work at home, I barely even need a car.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=jsiw1iou1vk">pure temptation on wheels</a></li></ul>

Default That's because you guys over there are paying over $4.30 a gallon, here in Germany it's only
$9.47 per gallon ;-)

Default Doubtful. IIRC, the new Viper will have over 1000hp. America will always have an
obsession with high-hp vehicles, though they may not always be powered by IC engines. A good example is the Tesla... Electric car with 600hp FTW.

Default So wait.. You wouldn't buy that RS6+ because of how much gas it goes through, but
you're interested in an AMG? :P

that's just reason to wait, as the old body style will drop in price.

Default If you got the money to waste on the car and the gas, sure go for it, otherwise...
...consider yourself slapped upside the head
