Hell no.

Sarah was already looking at a new car.

The Z4 will probably go on the chopping block eventually. I'll probably use this as an excuse to buy a truck that can tow the Camaro.
Super Crew F-150. Ariel has hauled our kids around in it since they were about one year old. And it pulls great! Ask Jim :wink:

Yeah, those are on my short list. Those ecoboosts seem to have plenty of towing capacity even though they are V6s.

Shoot, the 2.7 I just picked up is rated at 8500. That's almost any car on an open trailer.

Thanks! Honestly, I would have been disappointed if this thread didn't turn into a "what car are you buying" thread.

Probably going to pick up a 135i for kid hauler duties to replace the wifes Z3. Gawd, thats a fun little car.

As an aside, the Z3 will be on the block next week if everything goes according to plan.

The 135i is a hard top. It actually has a surprising amount of trunk space considering how small it is. Its also pretty healthy for only 300hp (like I'm reasonably certain it isn't stock).

Sorry, I was referring to the Z3. I thought it was a Z4?
