Default what made you buy a g8

wondering what made most folk buy a g8?

I was into german cars, but loved american cars but they didnt have that look until one day. I lookin to buy a bmw 5 series, i am a phone tech and kept seeing commercial about the g8 against the 5 series. great price teh car looked german, nice ques sexy stance. i said oh well i have to see it in person. i saw it in person and the g8 looked good, damn good. i was sold went and bought the next week. I drive the car and more looks in it than i did in a audi a8. think about that.

I'm curious Mike, can you actually write off the car as a business expense . I wish I had your job. Wish I was back in Rochester, see you for more work when I can.

I actually got one of those little flyers that come in the mail when everybody wants you to have their credit card. The fact it was advertised 361/385 didn't hurt either. One day later the wife and I were at the dealership and walked away with it that night.

My brother told me over a year ago to look at it so I did and fell in love with it. It was in the right price range was "American" made and had 4 doors so it's now my company car.
