But for our class and what not.

I came across a consumer reports I had in stacks when I was looking for a car, and didn't even notice.

The car it had pictured on best bet for used cars is ours.

the '99 to be specific is what they had on there.

And how we're like with another car.

Maybe we're not tied, maybe it was a mistake.

That link shows the Lexus SC430 in number 5 position, not the Solara. I don't see any Solara in that list. They must have made a mistake and fixed it. Guess the similar look fooled them.

It's tied for 4th along with the Mercedes-Benz.
When in doubt gas it out, brakes just slow you down.

Thats funny that the ford GT made the list. I have never even seen one on the road. And who is driving one 15k a year?
