2016 Shelby GT350 w/Tech package
A 2003 Lexus LS430 UL we bought used in 2005. Every time I think about getting rid of it, I just can't. It has over 200k miles and runs like new. Comfortable, leather on everything, one of the first adaptive cruise controls,.....did I mention comfortable? Air suspension, all the bells and whistles from the era and it still looks great. Longest I've ever kept a car. It sits outside now and the 350 took its place in the garage. <sigh>

the gls63 amg makes literally no sense at all and is entirely pointless to spend that much money on an over engineered school bus. I absolutely love everything it stands for and I am jealous.

Makes me laugh when I drive it. Driving it makes you quickly forget it is a 5800lb SUV since it drives and feels like a sports sedan. As fast in the 1/4 mi as a Mustang GT, 0-60 in 4.3 sec, skidpad .91g and braking from 70-0 in 166 ft. The rev match shifting and back fires :D Now for that 700hp tune:eyebulge: Wonder if my wife would notice? She drives it more than I do.

Why don't you guys daily drive the GT350?
Because many of use don't live in AZ and we have to deal with snow, ice and temperatures below freezing. Below freezing the PS tires crack and are not designed for snow and ice or cold temperatures.

I live in louisiana and dont drive the car when it is below 50 degrees.

Plus, Not all things fit in a gt350. especially not at the same time.

It is a REALLY fun roadtrip car though.
