Germany vs. America… I Mean Australia - CBS Local Tampa Bay (blog)
I should have seen this coming, being that the silver UFO was car number 36 or 37, I can’t remember which, because I thought I would have it forever. But I owned that car for nearly 3 years and it was just time. There was only one car that I wanted more than the car I had and this summer was the right time to buy the very thing I had my eye on – a brand new 2015 Chevrolet SS. The only problem is they are far too expensive for someone with my income. I have to constantly remind people that I work IN tv and not ON tv. So, after much planning, scheming and justifying spending more money on a car than I ever have in my life, I found THE car for me. It’s finished in Perfect Blue Metallic paint and... Did I mention that this is the first automatic transmission I have had in a fast car in the last 20 years. I know, buying a car with an automatic in a speedy car is like going to Universal Studios Orlando and not riding any of the rollercoasters. I bought the SS because on paper, it is the closest thing to an old BMW E39 M5 that has ever been made and the other day, I got a chance to directly compare the two cars to see how right or wrong I am. Both cars have 4-doors, weigh about the same,... Maybe it seems like a strange comparison because the BMW is 12 years old and the SS is brand new, but the two cars really are like two sisters separated at birth. Source: tampa.cbslocal.com
