Usually there are a ton of cars hovering around 46 to 48% Lots of the usual popular sedans from BMW, Lexus, Honda, Acura. You can't go wrong with those cars. The ones usually at the bottom are the domestics. The Chevy sedans and PT Cruisers of the world.

I concur, and the BMW 3-Series referenced (in his handle) is probably a 1994 BMW 318ti with half-flat 175 width 14 inch tires, a gigantic hole in the exhaust, a radiator leak and running on 3 cylinders!

(Yes, I know... A Miracle... and a +1 Boost!)

Tell me about it, a tahoe/suburban/yukon/yukon denali with some extra body cladding but at least now with a different instrument cluster.

bmw3series: I don't think rednecks can afford cadillacs, and the only time you'll ever see them go crazy is when they watching NASCAR.

Hey three series, the X5 is actually built in South Carolina, leaving many "rednecks" employed there.

I don't think the M6 should be on this list. This is what I found on ebay eairlier this week. Thalk about losing 50k in one year!! And there are quite a few like this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280180481691
Maybe the 645ci would do much better.

You are both as bad as each other, what with your immature insults, poor grammar and low wit.
