To let you in on some of the goodies:
6.0L V12 BiTurbo AMG Engine

One among my favorite cars is the Mercedes ML430. It has a beefed-up 4.3-liter, 268-hp V8 engine which makes it good for off-road driving. It also has Mercedes ML430 parts with a wide range of standard and luxury features, including heated leather seats, burl walnut trim, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob, GPS navigation system, trip computer a lot others...

Ahhh... I saw one of these next to me at a light yesterday and fell in LOVE!
The '07 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon four door.
205 Hp 3.8L V-6
240 Ft.Lbs torque
"Fly-by-wire" throttle control
4:1 Low range
6 speed manual or 4 speed auto.
And at less than $30,000US, that seems like a steal. I've also looked at the Jeep Commander, but it's just another useless SUV, unless you're a soccer mom or a pimp. Plus the Commander has IFS, and IMO, it's not a Jeep if it doesn't have a solid front axle.

What I like about the Jeep Wrangler is the fact that over the generations it has changed very little in design, and that's what makes the Wrangler a Wrangler :D

I'd like to migrate this into a "if money were no object" what would you drive (or buy for the garage)
Me = 2008 Koenigsegg CCX
I love the V12 Vanquish, the F430, the Lambo(s), and all that too. I just love the technical "ness" and clean ness of this car. It's almost bare bones as you need looks wise. I just love the car.
I also plan to build a kit 1932 Ford 3 window Coupe. (Flat black rod style) to match the bike.

Man. Where to begin. I've never seen nor heard of that car. When I saw it, I think 'it' moved:eek:. To quote Paris and Nicole, "That's hot":lol:.
I want/need to have one of those bikes! Is that yours??? What on earth is that?

Ya it's mine. It's a 3/4 scale bobber with a bunch of options avail. I pad $1500 USD for it new. I can send you the link and you can check it out.
I'll see if I can find the McLaren record breaking run on the CCR and post it.

I've fancied this ride since it got to the markets about 15 years ago. Since I've had 5 Nissan's already, I will have this one aswell. Thats a promise I've done to myself. :p
It's a Nissan 300ZX, equipped with twin turbochargers and twin intercoolers, the four-cam, 24-valve 3.0-liter engine developed 300 horsepower with 5-speed manual shift, or 280 horsepower when fitted with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The car has Super HICAS (High Capacity Actively Controlled Steering) 4-wheel steering. That means the rear wheels first turn slightly in the opposite direction from the front wheels, then in the same direction, to improve stability in fast lane-changes.
Body Style 2-door, 2-passenger
Drivetrain Front engine, rear drive
Curb weight, lb. 3518
Engine 3.0 liter DOHC twinturbo V-6, 4 valves/cylinder
Horsepower, hp @ rpm, SAE net 300 @ 6400
Torque, lb @ rpm, SAE net 283 @ 3600
Transmission 5-speed manual / 4-speed automatic
Acceleration, 0-60 5.5 / 6.2 sec (manual/auto)
Standing quarter mile, sec/mph 13.9/102.0
