Description

The BMW Z8 is one classy ride. Seriously, ook at it. With the top down, he Z8 is easily one of the most gorgeous looking vehicles ever made.

...Well lucky you! This gorgeous (and R-A-R-E) vehicle can be yours! (And Hey, t was good enough for JAMES BOND!)

So, hen you drive a Z8, ou end up in automobile situations that don't happen when you're driving a regular car. Check this out LA Guy So here we are (my wife and I), couple days before Christmas, riving on the 101 Southbound right around Universal Studios. I look in my rearview and notice this dude behind me in an E55 AMG who was aggressively changing lanes behind me.

"I mean, expect this kind of behavior from Audi drivers (Which, y the way, re short-membered, raut-munching douchebags suffering from little mans syndrome that have more money than sense), ather than your typical blue-blooded hip-hop star Mercedes driver who drives too goddamn slow." Anyway, e're in traffic and eventually he catches up. He pulls up next to us, eeps looking over and keeps trying to get our attention.

So, e rolls down his window, nd he's illegally on his cell phone with his accountant or something, hen he starts yelling at us that he'll give us $150,000 for the car right then and there. Fortunately we were still in traffic, ut wow.

So yeah, hat was an interesting moment.

Moral of the story: This Z8 Gets You Exciting, nsolicited Cash Offers! How does it feel to drive? The Z8 is a real joy to drive, nd this is coming from someone with absolutely no authority on the subject! What I do know is this:

  • When I put the car in 1st gear, it the gas, hen pull out the clutch just right, he car launches forward with a mean, et refined, oar.
  • 2nd gear is where the car really tells you what's up. Within just 2 seconds, ou're probably committing various traffic crimes.
  • Fortunately, his car brakes well.
  • If you're more adventurous, he car drives well on twisty roads, ut I enjoyed it more going in a straight line.
  • People who know about high performance driving will probably be able to back up my unscientific statements with facts. How About Some Real-World Driving Situations? Z8 Luggage Capacity!
