btw Elnur.. I drive a BMW in driving class and I don't like it. Gimme a Saab anyday :p
Martin,

Of course you will not like that BMW, because it's not your car. You need to build a special relationship with it (first you got to own it), and then you will fall in love with it ;)

But you know I'm so attached to Saabs after all these years that I probably won't change.. :D

How long have you had yours btw? And what model ? :)

Well, if that's what you like! :)

I bought a 1994 5 series back in 1998, sold it this year. So I had it for a while.

Selling it was the worst feeling in my life.

Very tempting to make fun of you when you're talking about cars with such passion but you're a good sport. :)

Sold it? So what do you drive now, another BMW?

Oh that's fine. People make fun of me all the time. :D

I sold it cause I was moving back to the U.S. as a student. I didn't wanna overburden myself with car payments, and insurance payments in particular. All of my roommates have cars, so I don't really feel a necesity.

I will not own a Bimmer until I graduate in 2006. :)

Oh you don't the first thing about that even. :D Over here you have to take this course for driving on ice since in winter time you will be doing that out on the road anyway. So I did that on Monday, you have this long track where you're supposed to speed up, then you come to this surface that's really slippery, they also spray it with water, that's when you hit the brakes and try to stop the car.. :D So since I'm terrible at accelerating quickly (get freaked out from hearing the engine roar) I completely mistimed the gear shifts. My instructor tells me please don't do 40 in the first gear as the rpm goes up to 7000.. :D One time I was so out of control on the ice that the car spun around twice and finally you get back on asphalt where you have friction again, by that time I was going backwards. So the car comes to a stop and I notice I forgot to use the clutch.. :D Thus the engine has completed several revolutions in the opposite direction of what's intended, now it won't start.. :D I had the guy sweating for a minute but then he put it in reverse and it started up, no problem.

It was a fun day. :D

Daewoo is a part of GM.

Actually, there is only one Korean car manufacturer left. Hyundai. Sangyong is owned by Daewoo, while Daewoo is owned by GM, and Kia is owned by Hyundai.
