Since I’ve been watching Top Gear, my appreciation of European sports cars has definitely risen. I’d love to have an Aston Martin but I hate to think what it would cost to own one in this country.

I watch that and love European cars too (and others, but HATE the bail-out company cars like the re-Volt-ing).
I have a 10mpg 500hp BMW M6. It’s amazing! All cars are money pits. The only difference is how deep is the pit! lol

As far as Top Gear is concerned, I hate to admit it but they’re right. Almost all American cars are crap. However I have heard them mention that Americans drive differently and generally are willing to accept poorer quality.
