    LOL, I'm being serious now. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. So stop being part of the problem and put the other guy back on!

        Quite a few actually. Mercedes and BMW have next to no padding in the seats, caddies are nice, but their seats don't hold a candle to the 80's cars. I've sat in a few jags at auction and they are nice inside, but I haven't driven any of them.

        Mechanic and car dealer, I'm fairly in touch. Handling is one thing, no question that cars today handle way better than the 80's and 90's, but as far as pure comfort goes, the big boys of the 80's and 90's are next to impossible to beat.

          In that case, I also submit:

          Luxobarge is usually a big 4 door car. Not interested in Impala's or pretty much any Chevy product aside from a Cadillac.

          It just happened to be up on Jalopnik.

            I have a friend that just got an 04 Subaru Legacy wagon and that thing is really nice. Turbo, packed with options (leather, heated seats) big inside but doesn't drive like a boat. You might check them out.

                I'll look for a link. There are a few dudes on BF.com ranging from 300whp to 700whp in an m52 motor, one of them is in plano driving a daily 650hp pumpgas e36 coupe. All it takes is a $5k topmount turbo kit, fuel system pistons/rods, clutch and a few small bits. These parts aren't too expensive. Has me really wanting to turbo my stock m50 like Frank on BF and make 550 wheel instead of an lsx.

                  Clearly I suck at this, so I'll just say good luck and leave it at that.

                      The fact that it's a 4.6 mod motor would scare me.

                      Is it a 4 valve at least?
