So I'm in LA and I rent this Chevy Malibu.

The thing drives like a brick, has crappy brakes, lots of plastic...

But darned if the dang thing isn't twice as fast as my 535. Well, not twice as fast, but I'd bet the 0-60 is faster than my hopped-up M30.

It's just a bit of a let down that the car billed as one of the fastest production sedans when new (i.e., the e34 535) is slower than a uber-cheap new car today.

Oh well... At least I can look forward to the drive home from the airport tomorrow.

And since I'm posting this oh-so-relevant post, might as well express my big welcome back to Bill R! I expect AZ to vote Blue this year Bill! I'd vote there too if I could Now we just need to dig up George Mann... Where the heck is he these days?
