[s-cars] I feel better now that I've contributed to our failing economy...sleeping well tonight..

[Taka Mizutani]

Congrats Mike- that's an awesome garage- an M5 and an S4? Nice. Looks like
you really need to get the Benz for sake of completeness. :-)

I've found the E34 M5 to be one of the best driving sports sedans out there-
it's got plenty of power, doesn't feel like a huge pig, awesome brakes, just
a nice package all around.

That S38 engine sounds totally exotic as well, which is a big plus.

You're lucky to have found one that has had the engine rebuild done- that's
a big ticket item no matter the shop.

Taka
