I have 3 cars.. My daily driver is an 03 crown vic ‘sport package’ if you can believe such a thing exists.. but it does.. My weekend car is 07 infinity g35. It actually get’s right at 20 in mixed mode driving.. And, the beast I need to sell, an 89 BMW 750il.. It has a 5 liter 12 cylinder.. it does about 11 mpg, but 18 on the highway..

I drive very little.. a tank of gas lasts about a month, sometimes longer.. in any of my cars (I don’t think I’ve put gas in the bimmer in 3 months).. Because I drive so little, I don’t worry about mileage all that much..

I had a BMW addiction for 17 years. I traded in my 98 528i in on the Corolla right when gas got up to $3.00 after Katrina. Huge difference in everything about the two cars, but I wanted to get rid of it while it was still worth something and before it started costing me big repairs. I drive at least 500 miles each week just to work and back. Over the 17 years of my BMW addiction I started with an 82 320i for 7 years, moved up to a 89 325i and then got the 528i. They were all great cars, but my favorite was the 325i. Great size for throwing around and the engine was a good match for the weight of the car. The ride quality of the Corolla compares to the 320i, until you start in on hard corners. I would like to get an Infinity someday. I test drove an 04 FX35 and fell in love with it. My wife stopped me in my tracks. She wanted a van, so we got an 05 Sienna XLS Limited the next year. So far the Toyota's have really been dependable and not disappointing at all to drive. When I bought my first BMW, I swore I would never buy another American car again. So far after 20 years, I have kept my word.

Hah! They used to be called the “Police Interceptor” (PI) based on Lincoln engines. It’s not shocking at all to this Lincoln-lover!
