    ATM I'm driving a Peugeot 307sw, which is my father's company's car, pretty fun cause it's already fucked up and my dad doesn't give a shit about it, so it's pretty fun. There is no acceleration whatsoever, though. :/

    We have four cars for the two of us, which is pretty silly. For our wedding, I bought my wife a 2007 XC90, which we picked up in Gothenburg and drove around for our honeymoon.

    It turns out the car is just too big for her, so she picked out a 2008 328xi SportsWagon, which I picked up in Munich.

    My previous company car was a 2006 Audi A6, which my brother really liked so he bought it. I recently updated to the 2009 A6. I don't have a photo of it yet, but here's a photo I found online (mine is silver too)

    Finally, every family has to have a beater, so when we need to haul shit, we use this (again a stock photo, but ours is red too): [​IMG]

    Nah, I just have a job where we need to fake that we're legit.:wink: I'm a partner in a commercial real estate merchant bank. I cover the Rocky Mountain and Midwest. We give ourselves an auto allowance for a three year lease.

    I noticed the Maryland plates. I spent almost eight years in the DC area. From where do you hail?

    LOL. That's not my picture. I googled it, but I have exactly the same car, so yeah.

    And I actually hail from Russia. I've been living in NY for the past 13 years. Some might call it espionage.

    I don't want to come off too strong, but can you adopt me, and buy me a BMW? Please.

    BMW's are actually remarkably affordable, especially if you do European Delivery.

    Fair enough. I didn't own my first car until I was 21, so I know what you mean.

    It's great. I wouldn't buy a new Mercedes, Audi, BMW or Volvo any other way. It's cheaper, you get a great experience and get to drive anywhere you want in Europe.

    I'm driving this 99 GMC Suburban. I couldn't find a pic I took, but this is from the lot I bought it at.

    [​IMG]

    I liked my 99 Blazer that I traded in for the Suburban a lot better. Much better gas milage and not such a boat.

    [​IMG]

    That's at Eagle Creek Park. This is the reason I moved up to the Suburban.

    [​IMG]

    I needed more room for my fat ass! I have chronic pain in my right knee and tailbone(besides shoulders/amrs/back) and both are a lot more comfortable in the Suburban.
