Cool Das Uber Pimp-Mobile VS Der Chick-Magnet go side to side

I was able to borrow my dad's rental car (2005 Lincoln Town Car) over the past week and let me tell you... the Lincoln is awesome! The love I have for it is completely different than that of the Porsche. Unfortunatley, dad had to take the Lincoln back, so no more luxury cruising for me. lol. Anyway, here are a few shots of the Lincoln (das uber pimp-moble) and the 911 (der chick-magnet) side to side. Notice how the 911 looks like a toy compared with the Lincoln. After driving the Lincoln for over 100 miles the past few days and not driving the Porsche at all, once I got into the Porsche, I felt as if I was driving a go kart. lol.

Probably true. I really miss the Lincoln though. I want it "back in black".

Too bad you are not old enough to get a job driving a towncar, you could get paid to drive around one of those boats all day long in LA. In black. They are nice cars.

I know how you feel. I was driving a rental sedan all last week and went back to the 911 over the weekend. Drove it like I stole it.

Mom has a Lincoln like that, original owner was the Mayor of Bountiful, UT. It is a boat, wanders all over and rolls like a whale in high seas. Gets crappy gas mileage, but it is big. She hates it, wishes she never parted with her Caddy.

i would never drive a town car, its a boat. I'm counting the days till it gets warm enough to take my porsche out of storage and put the xterra back in the garage. If i had to drive something big every day, it would definently be a sport sedan, such as a BMW like my dad drives
