Time for a new car
I live a fairly simple life. I drive a '99 Ford Mustang that I paid off years ago, I have no debt and I could easily live off of $1000 or so a month. (Luckly, I make more then $1000 a month, so I can do fun stuff like traveling, shopping and fine dining, but that's not my point ;)...). My point is that I prefer to live frugally, I hate having debt and financial obligations. Unfortunately, I have come to the realization that if I live simply and save a bunch of money, guess what happens?! I HAVE TO SEND EVERY LAST CENT I HAVE SAVED ALL YEAR TO THE MOTHER FUCKING GOVERNMENT!!!!! That's right. The government will be $18,000 richer this year because I have been frugal.
For almost all of 2005 I have agonized over wanting a BMW X5. When it came down to it, I figured that it would not be a responsible decision since I havn't saved enough to pay cash and I would have to get a car loan, etc, etc. Come to find out, if I had purchased an X5 in 2005, I would have received a $25,000 tax deduction and would not have had to pay a single cent to the government for last years income. WTF?!?!?! Yeah, no shit.
SO, guess what I'm buying myself for my birthday this year? A B-M-fucking-W. Now, here lies the problem. My boyfriend bought my dream car last year, which sucks. Stefan was looking for a mid-sized SUV and was looking at the Volvo XC90. He test drove the Volvo and didn't love it, I mentioned how awesome the BMW X5 was and he test drove one and loved it, so he bought a super sick BMW X5 4.6L V8 BadAss Driving Machine. So now he owns the top of the line BMW X5 in black.
Not only does he own the car I want, but he owns it in the color I want. It would be incredibly stupid to me to buy the exact same car as Stefan, but I LOVE the X5. I have searched high and low and can not find ANY other car I would prefer to have. The only solution that I can come up with is to get a different color (even though owning the same car sounds silly to me...). So this is what I'm thinking:
I think I want a white BMW X5 4.4L V8 with light leather interior, all-around tinted windows, navigation, iPod hook up and 22" white rims. Sort of like this (but with white rims, instead of chrome):
What do ya think? Too ghetto? Any other suggestions on mid-sized SUV's? Help!

Wait, you gotta show me where you saw how that works. I know there is a depreciation thing that is hardly worth a dim and the mileage thingy. Let me know cause don't I need a new truck to pull my fancy horses around?
His and Hers BMW's would be kinda cute ... although yea, argueably a bit over the top ... ;-)
Or- Time to get rid of Stefan :P
Also, not a fan of the white rims, chrome is hot, white seems "K-marty". Do ya'll have K-marts? Ask Andrea, she loves K-mart :P

The rims suck on the white one. I wouldn't "pimp" out a bmw. You'll love your bmw. I have a 3 series. Best part? The friggin' stereo is awesome...
Hey Amber, take it easy on the "disposable boyfriend" comment.
I say pink BMW...pink rims...pink interior. LOL, that would be real nice.
Porsche Cayenne?
Although it may be a little pricey...
OKay, okay, so the white rims have been shot down. You're all right, too ghetto. And yes, I think the 22" rims may be a little too "big pimpin'" but I'm not ruling them out yet. I don't want my X5 be be completely stock just because I want to personalize it. When you see my X5, you'll KNOW that it definately my X5. I already ordered my personalize "VICIOUS" license plates...haha.
Oh yeah, and I looked into the Cayenne and wasn't impressed enough to pay $90K.
Ok, I'm with the ego bruised Stefan :P
Pink all round would rock!
PINK! YES! WITH CHROME! I'M EXCITED! you'll be like Malibu Barbi......bitch.
way too ghetto
