Group buy anyone???
I'll take one. But I will want to substitute the sissy SLK for a Z4M.
Very nice - they have come a long way.
Do you think we can get Gloria Estifan into one?

I figured that... since the station wagon won't fit.
I like, and I second the Z4! :bmw:
Why would I want one? The interior is so similar to my own home and private jet anyway. If I want to travel with style on the roads, it's in my 650i. If I want to fly, it's in my jet. Why do I need a mobile ten tonne tank with all the usual amenities on board when I can't even do vicious corners and doughnuts with it? :shake:

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Bagels, anyone?
No bagels in this forum, only Bangle's.

The big motorhomes are extremely popular among NASCAR fanatics. The fans travel the cicuit and camp out a week at each track. I bet there were 100 of them at a big race I went to. Even the drivers have them. I saw once that Jeff Gordon's cost something like $3 million dollars. Most are in the $500k to $1 million range.
EDIT: I dug up this pic from a race. Count the ones just inside the blue fence. You are looking at 1/3 of Lowes Motor Speedway. Note the scale of the helicopter top center.

$3 million to drive a bus?... :scared:
I had no idea they could run way up there...
I have heard that NASCAR fans (not all of course) are normally classified as rednecks. Is this true? Trailer parks...Trailers...rednecks...NASCAR...I can see the light now.. :youbet:
I'll have to admit, the interior of those babies looks very nice and comfortable. How are the finishes?
I a more of a yatch person. I love yachts! I'd put my $3 mill. on a Ferreti instead! Marine-redneck maybe?

How much is one of those mosnters anyway???A friend of ours has a business buying them, tricking out the interior and then leasing them to bands/stars/whatever. "Pushers" (the big ones with a diesel in the back) can run $1 mil prior to customizing the interior.

I was in one about a year ago. It was about 2 Mil, and the interior was totally custom. The leather on the sofa and seats was about the softest I have ever felt. The overall fit and finish was superb! The thing cruised along like a dream.
It doesn't sound like a big deal, but it is a strange and wild feeling to be able to stand up in a vehicle while you are tooling down the freeway.
