Last night was the game to catch. Where your seats near where the homer
dropped? I think the 330 is the better call. You really don't want a BMW as a family car anyway until the kids are much older. I don't know what the prices are but the 330ic is pretty sweet. Capt.

Much appreciated. We plan on test driving this weekend. The BMW has a racing track in the back of the dealership - I heard it's pretty sweet. I have a feeling we're going to lean toward the 330i just b/c everything I've read rates it the best in its class. I feel like the 5 series will be too big for us right now (w/o kids) but we should get a better feel this weekend. I'll keep you informed. Thanks again.

It really comes down to what you want. Unless you're really pushing it you won't notice much of a difference. However, what you will notice is that the 6cyl will be working a lot harder (i.e. louder). Once you jump into the 5 you're in the luxury market and you probably want a smoother car with plenty of torque (8 cyl). Especially the way you drive (not winding the engine out in every gear) you'll feel more low end power in the 540. Again, it comes down to the pax. If you're hauling 2 most of the time, the 530 is probably fine;. hauling 4 it will be sucking wind a bit. Remember when you're on a test drive the car isn't configured the way it will be in real life. The tires will be under inflated, the gas tank (large in that car, like 14 gal ~90 pounds) and no passengers so your performance will seem better. My best advice when looking at cars in that price range is to insist on an extended (overnight or over a weekend) test drive of both. You don't want to buy and wish you had bought the other a couple of weeks later. Finally, think about long term (kids, etc) if you plan on hanging onto it as long as the Miata. It's not uncommon for a bimmer to go 2-300,000 miles without engine work so you can hang onto them for quite a while if you stay up on the maintenance. Give me a buzz at home (301.737.5366) tonight if you want to yap about it. Capt. Frank P.

Isn't it basically the same thing as the 330 except it's bigger? If so, does it handle as well with the added size and weight? -----Original Message----- From: Conway, Frank P [mailto:ConwayFP@navair.navy.mil] Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2001 9:46 AM To: Ruscitti, Kevin Subject: RE: Kev, Real quick on the cars. The beamer is real tight in the back seat. Think about how often you might be hauling 3-4 people. If you think it's a factor, spend some time on an extended test drive sitting in the back. I'd still look at the Vovlvo S-60 twin turbo, it might surprise you. Capt. Frank P.

It was one of the most disappointing games i've ever attended. the astros don't even deserve to make the playoffs after their cowardly play. the manager's an idiot - intentionally walking Bonds with guys on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs. Anyway, in terms of the Miata, the dealer recommended abt $1300 worth of work. Of course i told him to just get the thing running ($450). The problem is the blue book value is only $2500 so i can't see putting another grand into it. I'll probably just sell it to someone who races miata's (which is really big in Texas) or donate it to charity and take the tax write off. We haven't test driven anything yet but it looks like we're leaning toward the BMW 330i. It seems to get great reviews, the main downside is that it's a little small - but still sporty. We'll go for test drives this weekend and should buy or lease (still undecided) something in the next couple weeks. How's everything on your front. Less classroom time and more flying time??? That faggot Lowery was in Austin this past weekend. I don't expect him to call of course but it shows how easily he could've gotten to Houston while he was working for 8 mos. in Dallas.

I guess it's just as well, I'd hate to find them at 3,000'. Sorry to hear about the turbo Miata. What happened to it? Can't it be fixed or are you just abandoning it? Where are you leaning in terms of a new car? On my end, the classic motorcycle is buzzing like a champ and a complete blast to drive. What's with the faggot Astro's walking your boy? At least he pocketed one record. I don't have TJ's email w/ me, but I'm sure he never expected you to actually show up in the first place. Capt. Frank P.

I want to let him know I won't be out there in Oct. Give me a shout. How's everything going? My miata broke down this past weekend. I didn't think it would be that soon. It looks like I'm forced to buy a new car. I'm not looking forward to the process although the internet should make it less painful than it was 9.5 years ago. Wow, I can't believe I've owned the Miata for over 9 yrs. I'm going to see Bonds play on Wednesday night. Hoping he'll be going for the record that night (either a tie or to break it). I scored tix in section 154 - prime bonds territory. Check out the section on the Houston Astros website. Talk to you soon.
