  1. So im looking at cameras for the woman as its what she wants for her wedding present. She has said she wants the d5100 however for her first Dslr im not sure she needs or can use all of its functions just yet. She will most likely be taking random pictures of everything for the first month and then forget she has it.

     

     

    Can anyone specify what the actual differences between the two and how it will effect the pictures?

  2. dunno...it's a benz so parts are "expensive" I guess when you need them but we've really not had any big issues with ours ever, always little nagging things go wrong. I do all of my own maintenance work so I really don't worry about labor rates.

     

    We've owned ours 3.5 years and in that time I've replaced one of the air shocks (re-manned units are $400), Drivers door handle because the keyless entry sensor went out ($130), heat exchanger pump ($140), and valve in the A/C system that was stuck ($45). Wife daily drives it and loves it.

     

    Ran 12.6 at the trails rental earlier this year with the A/C on and on snow tires :D

     

    They aren't the most involving cars to drive...that's my main problem with it. I'm guessing the CTS and G8 aren't either though. I'm all about driving experience so I'm a little picky in that area.

     

     

    Hmmm might have to add this to the list.

  3. Throughout this whole conversation I couldn't help but think E55.

     

    You can get '04-05's with reasonable mileage (60k) for $22-25.

     

    Anyhow, they're comfy, have a million gadgets, 480hp, 500tq, auto and really very mechanically reliable platform. Maybe something to consider.

     

    I've thought about it, what would the maintenance and repair differences in cost between the V and e55?

  4. Come spring i will be looking to get into another car. I don't really see the need for a 2 door sports car so i will be looking at something with 4 doors.

     

    What are the pros vs. cons between the 2 cars? Issues to look for between the 2 and which one would be the better overall pick?

     

    Plans would be minor bolt on's, lower and wheels.
