RIP X5M!

So Geico totalled my x5m today thanks to Hurricane Irene getting the best of it :/. It was in the shop for 1 month while they were trying to fix it (new starter, fluids etc..). They finally gave up which might be for the best, if not it would probably have been in the shop non-stop.

So now i have a decision to make, do i get another one(now or wait till new model comes out?) or just get something totally different? Any suggestions?

2006 or later Lamborghini Gallardo and get the Heffner Twin turbo kit. You tube it....

If you want an SUV do the Cayenne Turbo S!

Crossover ? Do the Panamera Turbo S!

I think if i choose to just get a sports car it might just be the gallardo, maybe down the line get the cayenne turbo. That twin turbo kit does sound great right now!

Get a new Jeep SRT, and use the other $50,000 for a couple of Harley's and a few new shotguns.

If i were to get another truck it would be the cayenne turbo s! But i think im just getting rid of my CLS and getting a 2 door sports car. The 4 i wanna look at now are the new Maserati GT-MC, or a used Gallardo/R8 GT/DBS ..but those are a bit more pricey and don't want anything older than a '09.

I would love to but the car is a bit small for me, and since i am also selling my cls and wont be buying another x5m(or similiar) car for at least a year or so i think i will try to get a bentley gt supersports(w/ the rear seat option)!

I'm also kinda tired of the big modding on cars..just no time and rather save that money for other investments. Keep it clean, wheels, drop, tune..few minor things seem less stressful than fully done up cars.
