That's why we've used our 85-plus years to design a cruise experience that's just a bit different. Here are some of the features and amenities you'll experience on board our Avalon ships.
Welcome to Budapest, Hungary's lively capital spanning the banks of the Danube. The remainder of the day is free to start exploring Eastern Europe's most cosmopolitan metropolis.
Whether you're seeing the sights, shopping for handcrafted embroidery or Herend porcelain, or basking in the coffee house culture over a rich cream cake in the renowned Gerbeaud Café, Budapest's unique energy is positively palatable. On your GUIDED SIGHTSEEING TOUR, see Heroes' Square as well as the massive hilltop castle complex with its remarkable Fishermen's Bastion—for spectacular views of the city—and 11th-century Matthias Church, the coronation spot of several Hungarian monarchs. Be sure to take note of the city's eight bridges—many famous sights in and of themselves—which connect ancient Buda on the right bank with Pest on the left. You may even want to walk across Chain Bridge, built in 1849 and a symbol of Budapest. (Breakfast)
You have time this morning to explore Budapest further. Perhaps visit St. Stephen's Basilica for marvelous views of the city from its viewing platform. This afternoon, board your river cruise vessel and meet your crew at a welcome reception. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Enjoy a day of relaxation on board and marvel at the beautiful scenery on both banks of the Danube. Hungary is on your left as you cruise upriver and Slovakia is on your right. The two countries share the Danube for a 58-mile stretch, with the border in the middle of the river. This evening, arrive in Vienna, Austria's capital. Known as the "City of Music," it inspired the creative genius of Mozart, Beethoven, and Strauss. An optional concert is available during your stay. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Once the center of the mighty Habsburg Empire, Austria's magical capital on the blue Danube is a showcase of gilded architecture. This is home to the lavish Hofburg Imperial Palace complex with its Vienna Boy's Choir and dazzling Lipizzaner stallions; the neo-renaissance Vienna Opera House; and awe-inspiring St. Stephen's Cathedral—plus, countless other sights your Local Guide will show you during an included CITY SIGHTSEEING TOUR. Stroll through the delightful pedestrian Kärntnerstrasse, and be sure to take a break and enjoy a piece of decadent Sachertorte or Apfelstrudel in one of the classic Viennese coffee houses, historic institutions that helped shape Viennese culture! (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Dürnstein, known for the magnificent baroque, blue Stiftskirche built in the 1700s, is situated right in the heart of the Wachau wine region. The main street of this small town—with a population of less than 1,000 people—is lined with 16th-century residences and charming cobblestone streets. This morning your Local Guide will take you on an included WALKING TOUR and tell you the tale of England's King Richard the Lionheart, who was imprisoned in the castle whose ruins still stand above the town. During lunchtime, sail the picturesque Wachau Valley and arrive in Melk in the early afternoon. Here, enjoy a GUIDED VISIT of the magnificent 11th-century BENEDICTINE ABBEY, one of Europe's largest monasteries.

Alternatively, you may choose to stay on the ship and relax as you cruise to Passau, uniquely located where the Inn, Ilz, and Danube Rivers converge. Passau is a maze of narrow cobblestone streets lined with beautiful patrician houses. St. Stephen's Cathedral, a masterpiece of Italian baroque architecture, houses one of the world's largest church organs with 17,774 pipes. Take in the highlights on the included GUIDED WALK.

Dating back to the time of the Celts around 500 BC, Regensburg is one of Germany's best preserved medieval cities. Established during the Holy Roman Empire and the only German city not bombed during WWII, Regensburg has at least 1,300 listed buildings of "historic interest." Architectural highlights of your GUIDED WALK include the Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall), built in the 13th century, and Porta Pretoria, gates to an ancient Roman fort built in 179 AD. Wander through the city's lanes and alleys to discover the many mansions with high towers. Wealthy families built these towers to emphasize their status and wealth during the Middle Ages, and many still remain today. Walk across the 12th-century Steinerne Brücke (Stone Bridge), the oldest of its kind in Germany. Grab a beer and enjoy an included SNACK at the 17th-century Historische Wurstküche (Old Sausage Kitchen), one of Germany's oldest restaurants.

Then, enjoy time on your own in this vibrant city.

Return to your ship in the afternoon. (Breakfast, Dinner)
In the early morning hours, arrive in medieval Bamberg, former residence of one of Germany's most powerful imperial dynasties and today a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your GUIDED WALK takes in its historic center, including the great 13th-century Romanesque cathedral and the fascinating Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall)—built on an island in the middle of the Regnitz River when the bishop refused to give the townspeople land for a town hall! This afternoon, enjoy some relaxing time on board as you cruise toward Würzburg on the Main River. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Arrive in Würzburg during breakfast.

Early this morning you arrive in the charming wine village of Bernkastel on the Moselle River. With its fascinating narrow streets and half-timbered houses that have stood since the Middle Ages, you'll enjoy a GUIDED WALK that includes the beautiful marketplace with its renaissance-style Town Hall—built in 1608—and the "pointed house," built in 1416. The Moselle is famous for its wines, and growers in this area look after Germany's largest expanse of vineyards, the most celebrated of the vintages being the Bernkasteler Doktor. This evening enjoy a TASTING of some of these well-loved German wines. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
After breakfast, an excursion takes you to Trier, Germany's oldest city. Some say Trier is even older than Rome and that it was populated over a thousand years before the Romans arrived. Many Roman remains have survived, including a 20,000-seat amphitheater; the Porta Nigra, a fortified gate from the original Roman settlement, which still gives access to the town's center; imperial baths; and the Roman bridge, Germany's oldest bridge, with stone pilings dating from 144 AD—all evidence of this once-grand Roman city. Trier also offers pleasant market squares, Germany's oldest Christian church, and a cornucopia of architectural styles—Roman, baroque, neo-classicism, renaissance, and gothic. Choose from the included CITY SIGHTSEEING or the more history-focused "ROMAN TRIER" guided tour, followed by some free time, gives you the opportunity to discover this magnificent town.

The picturesque mountain lakes, the luscious green of the hills and fields, striking mountain cliffs and romantic villages - these are just a few reasons that for centuries attracted countless writers, composers and creative artists to find inspiration in the magnificent landscape of the Salzkammergut region, shared between the provinces of Salzburg, Upper Austria and Styria - the famous Austrian Lake District. The literal translation of the Salzkammergut is "salt chamber estate" and refers to an area where salt was mined and which was formerly under the control of the Imperial Chamber in Vienna. Today, the term has developed into a brand name for one of the loveliest holiday regions of Central Europe with over 70 lakes, which are of drinking water quality and range in color from turquoise to emerald green. Let us reveal to you the unspoiled beauty of Gmunden and St. Wolgang region and some of the most panoramic routes in Austria.
Picturesquely located at the foothills of the Alps the city is known as the birth-place of Mozart. Salzburg is also the setting for the Sound of Music movie, which has shaped the city's perception in the minds of generations. But Salzburg is much more. It is a wealthy city with history based on the salt trade from the nearby Alpine Mountains-a city full of beautiful baroque buildings, nestled between the mountains and green waters of the Salzach River. In your free time strolling through the small but busy lanes with their wrought iron signs, using a cable car to ride up to the castle on the hill for views, or just passing time by relaxing on one of the many terraces makes you feel part of the scenery. On our scenic ride by coach you will admire the beauty of the region. Our dedicated local experts will talk about and show you the city, and relive scenes from the Sound of Music.

The Danube Gorge has both a gentle and a strange beauty. In a magnificent show of force, the Danube has carved its way through the Swabian Alb to create a stunning landscape - a wild, romantic stretch of river with sheer cliffs rising over 300 feet out of the water. At its upper end Weltenburg Abbey is located on a peninsula directly below the cliffs of the gorge. It was founded by Irish or Scottish monks in 620 and is one of the oldest abbeys in Bavaria. The present Benedictine abbey dates back to the 18th century when it was extensively rebuilt in baroque style. Their ceiling frescoes of the Heavenly Jerusalem blend seamlessly with the abbey interior and are particularly noteworthy. Important is also that Weltenburg Abbey houses the oldest abbey brewery in the world, as the monks have been brewing beer since 1050. A beer and a "pretzel" are a welcome refreshment.

If you had to pick only one place to visit in the whole of Germany, it should be Rothenburg. The best preserved medieval town in Germany, Rothenburg ob der Tauber fits the word "romantic" perfectly.

Just walk along Rothenburg's narrow cobblestone streets and admire the gothic, renaissance, and baroque houses and fountains. You may wish that you had lived in these prettier, quieter, slow times. Climb to the top of the Rothenburg Town Hall Tower (circa 1250-1400) for a wide-angle view of Rothenburg and take pictures of the surrounding, mostly pastoral countryside.

24 06/2009Outlook's Broken - Lets Fix It!
The Email Standards Project have today launched one of the most amazing social petitioning initiatives we've ever seen – dynamically loading and displaying tweets including the sites' URL, fixoutlook.org is live and actively sending a big message to Microsoft that taking a decade-long regressive step in email display just doesnt make sense and the industry is not happy about it. From the siteâ¦
Microsoft have confirmed they plan on using the Word rendering engine to display HTML emails in Outlook 2010.
This means for the next 5 years your email designs will need tables for layout, have no support for CSS like float and position, no background images and lots more. Want proof? To demonstrate just how bad the Word rendering engine is in Outlook 2010, hereâs exactly the same email rendered in Outlook 2000, and then Outlook 2010. Click the image for a full sized version.
Outlook 2010 is still in beta and Microsoft wants your feedback. Itâs time to rally together and encourage Microsoft to embrace web standards before itâs too late.
Letâs use Twitter to send a clear message to Microsoft.
Join 82 others asking Microsoft to improve standards support and make sure you include fixoutlook.org in your tweet. Weâll pull together every tweet that includes the link here to give Microsoft a unified message from the community.
As a side note – a big congrats to Newism who designed fixoutlook.org – this is one of the simplest yet coolest sites I've seen in a long time and given the speed the tweets are rolling in, I believe is going to be iconic in the field of web design.
Since first reporting on this initiative, things have heated up considerably with fixoutlook.org clocking up over 20,000 tweets in the first 24 hours (at time of writing the counter stands at 22,366) in addition to being picked up by a number of major news outlets and receiving a fairly hasty and critical response from Microsoft. Whilst it appears Microsoft are sticking to their guns with Outlook 2010, other commentators such as Mozilla's David Ascher have made positive suggestions (and concessions in their defence) as to how a company with the resources of Microsoft could work around this problem. Even the 'God Father of web standards' Jeffrey Zeldman has weighed in.
Its going to be interesting to see where this goes but one thing is for sure – the way in which this campaign was devised and deployed will be talked about for a long time to come.

CLEMSON -- Dabo Swinney preempted any questions Sunday about Clemson's poll standings, saying there is still a lot of football to play.
The Clemson football coach said he is not "wasting time" thinking about his team's No. 5 position in the BCS standings and No. 6 ranking in The Associated Press, Harris and coaches polls.
Still, Swinney acknowledged he watched some late-night football Saturday, witnessing two teams ranked ahead of Clemson -- Oklahoma and Wisconsin -- lose on national television. Those losses allowed Clemson to move up two positions in the BCS, placing Clemson in the thick of the national title hunt with four regular season games remaining.
Clemson (8-0, 5-0 in the ACC) faces one of its most difficult remaining tests when it plays Saturday (8 p.m., WCIV-TV/ABC) at Georgia Tech (6-2, 3-2).
"(The standings) don't matter if we don't take care of business," Swinney said. "All of our focus is on Georgia Tech and trying to find a way to get to 9-0. I don't allow myself to waste any brain power on that type of stuff. If in two or three weeks from now we have taken care of business, then we can start to look at that."
Clemson trails only fellow unbeatens LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma State and Boise State in the BCS.
Clemson ranks a place higher in the BCS than its poll rankings in large part due to computer rankings, where Clemson ranks fourth. Clemson ranks third in Ken Massey's computer rankings and fourth in Jeff Sagarin's rankings, two of six computer rankings used in the BCS formula.
Clemson received help Saturday from Texas Tech (which upset Oklahoma) and Michigan State (which beat Wisconsin), and if Clemson can remain unbeaten it can expect to move up several more slots. Alabama and LSU face each other Nov. 5; Oklahoma State still has to play Oklahoma (Dec. 3); and Stanford has difficult games remaining against Southern Cal (Saturday), Oregon (Nov. 12) and Notre Dame (Nov. 26).
Moreover, Boise State's weak schedule could allow Clemson to jump ahead in the BCS standings.
ESPN analyst Brad Edwards believes Stanford (No. 6 in BCS) would jump Clemson if both programs remain unbeaten.
The potential is there for Clemson to end up in a logjam with three or more undefeated teams at season's end.
"I would be in favor for the system we have, making the bowls be done by Jan. 2, and having one more game," Swinney said. "To me, that really gives you the best of both worlds because you are usually not arguing about eight teams. There are usually three or four teams when you get to the end that have a case."
Extra points
Kourtnei Brown, who scored two touchdowns, was named the Walter Camp national defensive player of the week … WR Joe Craig will return for the Georgia Tech game after serving a one-game suspension against North Carolina for a violation of team rules. Swinney said it was a "maturity" issue … Swinney said he was pleased a number of reserves were able to play in the fourth quarter against UNC. "Hopefully that will (have) our guys fresher for a physical game against Georgia Tech," Swinney said.

Comments about Womens adidas adiZero Aegis 2 Running Shoe:
This is the first pair of Adidas I've found that do not run big. I ordered a 10.5 because that's what I usually wear in Adidas, but I should have ordered an 11. I usually wear the regular width, but these shoes felt very narrow, so I would have needed a wide width. These shoes were very difficult to get on because the tongue is attached to the sides and the shoelaces caught on every eyelet. The shoelaces were also too short, so I was left with less than 2 inches on either side for the bow. The cushioning was very nice and the mesh would make for a very breathable shoe.

Time for Emergency Economic Reform
How about a payroll tax holiday, funded by a federal spending, hiring and pay freeze?
Ronald Reagan enjoyed telling of the elderly Blitz victim rescued from her demolished London flat in World War II. A fireman found a bottle of brandy under the ruins of her staircase and offered her a nip for her pain. "Leave it right there," the matron ordered. "That's for emergencies."
A look around the American economy suggests that it's time to break out the brandy. By any measure, growth is anemic—alarmingly so for this time in what is supposed to be a recovery period. The administration's wild foray into trickle-down government spending has clearly failed. Funneling borrowed billions to government workers hasn't stimulated anything where it counts, in the private sector.
Moreover, the administration's big-government policies—most notably health-care reform—are holding back job creation. Drowning in new or pending regulations and taxes, businesses, banks and investors are understandably sitting on dollars that could be putting Americans to work.
Especially ominous are the implications of slow growth for the nation's burgeoning debt. The government's projections, which already point to national bankruptcy, rely on growth assumptions we aren't even close to achieving. They say the economy must grow at an average rate of 3.4% for 10 years—better than any previous decade in a half century. And that is just to achieve disaster, with debt rising to as much as 90% of GDP. To stave off catastrophe, nothing short of a truly vibrant, extended boom will do.
Most Americans don't know these figures in detail, but they have a strong sense that we are in a dangerous place. As I was leaving a small-town Indiana diner a couple weeks ago, a local said to me, "When the boys in there are discussing Greece, and it doesn't refer to the cheeseburgers, something is different." Odds seem strong that a degree of balance is about to be restored to the currently lopsided Congress.
Republicans may not reach a majority, but they will be looked to for constructive answers to this central dilemma of our era. A time-limited, emergency growth program aimed at triggering new private investment should be a primary goal of the next Congress, one hopes on a bipartisan basis.
What might such a project comprise? Here are a few suggestions:
• Payroll tax holiday. Suspend or reduce for the emergency period, say one year, the Social Security payroll tax on workers. Offset the revenue loss twice over through a combination of the following four policies.
• Impoundment power. Presidents once had the authority to spend less than Congress made available through appropriation. On reflection, nothing else makes sense. Plowing ahead with spending when revenues plummet is something only government would do. In Indiana, we are still solvent, with no new taxes, money in reserve, and a AAA credit rating only because our legislature gave me the power to adjust spending to new realities. I promise you that a president who wanted to could put the kibosh on enormous amounts of spending that a Congress might never vote to eliminate, but the average citizen would never miss.
• Recall federal funds. Rescind unspent Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds and any unspent funds from last year's $862 billion "stimulus" package, as well as large amounts of the hundreds of billions of "unobligated funds" unspent from previous appropriations bills.
• Federal hiring and pay freeze. Better yet cut federal pay, which now vastly outstrips private-sector wages, by 10% during the emergency term, and freeze it after that.
• A "freedom window." Might we try some sort of regulatory forbearance period in which the job-killing practice of agonizingly slow environmental permitting is suspended, perhaps in favor of a self-certification safe harbor process? Businesses could proceed with new job creation immediately based on plans that meet current pollution or safety standards, or use best current technology, subject only to fines and remediation if a subsequent look-back shows that the promised standards were not met.
• Accelerated or full expensing of business investment. Economists differ about its success on past occasions, and certainly it involves a degree of pulling forward investment that would have happened eventually. But it seems well matched to the current situation where so much money is cowering on the sidelines, and a burst of new investment might jump-start growth that enables more investment in the future. (Reports indicate that the administration is about to propose this very idea. If so, good.)
Surely there are better ideas or variations on these suggestions that a jobs-minded Congress could fashion. And clearly permanent tax and regulatory moderation is vastly superior to temporary. But to have a prayer of avoiding fiscal ruin, we need to go to economic general quarters immediately.
It may be fanciful to imagine that the Obama administration, chastened by economic reality and an election setback, might join or even champion such a plan. But no one has a bigger stake in the kind of private-sector growth it would attempt to generate. Any hopes of paying for their health-care and other spending schemes depend on it.
With or without Democratic help, Republicans should step forward with these or superior ideas. A stagnant, impoverished America will not be a greener or safer or fairer place. Grown-ups make trade-offs. Pass the brandy, then let's get busy.
Mr. Daniels, a Republican, is the governor of Indiana.

Queb's Picks: Another tough week for most
By Chris Quebedeaux
Week 6 proved to be another tough week on contestants in the Crowley Post-Signal Football Contest.
Although there were only two contestants who missed 10 or more games, the majority of the entries hovered around the eight-loss mark.
Matthew Miguez didn't have that problem. Miguez claimed the overall top prize by missing just three games. Dustin Touchet rebounded from 13 losses a week ago to miss just four last week, claiming second place honors over Jimmy Gotte by virtue of the tiebreaker.
With LSU and Michigan falling short in their upset bids, I missed six games.
Francis Morvant and Roderick Campbell rounded out the standings, each with 10 misses.
Now on with the picks:
On the prep level, I'm going with Notre Dame over Rayne, Kaplan over North Vermilion, Erath over Abbeville, Crowley over Church Point, Eunice over Iowa, Barbe over Acadiana, New Iberia over Westgate, Dutchtown over St. Amant, Lake Arthur over Iota, Beau Chene over Opelousas, Northside over Breaux Bridge, Lutcher over Belle Chasse, Vidalia over Bolton, Buckeye over Bunkie, Arcadia over Jena, Patterson over E.D. White and Gueydan over Hanson.
In the college ranks, I'm going with UL-Lafayette over Western Kentucky, Florida over Arkansas, Alabama over South Carolina and USC over Notre Dame.
The St. Thomas More game was listed incorrectly and will be a freebie for all.

I am not brand loyal-so I have no doubt some of you will be insulted...I don't care
I have owned several Rams and even more Fords---
on one of my trips to the dealer (free oil change I got with a new vehicle purchase)--well I was about 100 miles into that oil change, towing about 4000# of trailer and load traveling about 75 mph---I hear this clunk under the truck and hadn't seen anything in the road---I look in the mirror and see something white tumbling down and off the road....It takes me about 3 seconds to click in my head (oil filter) I look down and sure enough non oil pressure and a big red light glowing at me....by the time I shut off the truck and coasted over to the side of the road, it surely had been running oiless for atleast 5 seconds with a substantial load. I walk all the way back there, find the filter and the o-ring...brush off as much sand as I can-crawl under and put it on the truck (Off ramp about 1/2 mile up the road with a gas station) I decide what more damage could I do-worst case scenario it blows up and I take the filter back off and blame the ford tech............I get to the station, no oil pressure the whole way, add 4 quarts of oil, start the truck and it seems to run fine-I ran that truck for another 80,000 miles beforing buying another and never had an issue.
That I would call built ford tough.
Of course I wouldn't go out and test this on purpose- because you know no oil has to have some good affect on engine life, but just saying this one still ran great and had no issues for over 80,000 miles after that.
So the die hards can bash on Ford all they want---I could pick out more problems with the dodges that I have owned than the fords that I have owned, just saying.......there is 2 sides to every coin

Hi Joe, can't answer your question except to say I heard the same thing.
And my best friend just got one. It shoots nicely in that it is all steel and isn't as snappy as, say, a Kahr P9.
And welcome to THR. Great place.

Used models are going for around seven bills (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=67269197). NIB models are almost non-existent but if you come across one, expect to pay at least a thousand.
It shoots nicely in that it is all steel and isn't as snappy as, say, a Kahr P9.The Pocket Nine is NOT all-steel -- it has an alloy frame.
March 7, 2007, 11:38 PM
Welcome to THR, Joe. :)
From what I have been able to find, yes, they were only made in 1999.
Unfortunately, some fine CCW specimens are no longer available. Colt's policy decision in late 1999 deprived us of many useful tools. Their Pony was perhaps the best of the small double action .380s and the single-action PocketLite, the smallest good .380. Gone. Colt's Pocket Nine, the size of a Walther PPK including thickness, but lighter and holding seven 9mm Parabellum rounds, had redefined the pocket-auto market. Gone. Their Detective Special series guns, the .38 DS-II and the .357 Magnum Carry, were the best D-frame revolvers they ever produced. Gone.
Colt Pocket Nine
Q: I've got two Colt handguns I'd like some information on. One is an unfired Stainless Pocket 9, serial number NP05XXX. The other is a blued, 6-inch Trooper Mk III in .22 Long Rifle. It's also unfired, and the serial number is Y44XXX. --F.P., Roanoke, VA
A: The Colt Pocket Nine was manufactured during 1999 only and featured an aluminum frame and stainless steel slide. The last manufacturer's suggested retail was $615. An NIB gun today should bring about $595. Your Trooper MKIII was manufactured during 1982. The last manufacturer's suggested retail was $230. An NIB-condition specimen is currently priced in the $375 to $395 range. Production totals would have to come from Colt.
From the above, I submit it was not in production even a year!!
Production of the Pocket Nine stopped on 5 Oct 1999.
I have not been able to find any production totals.

March 8, 2007, 12:53 AM
If you can find a NIB Colt Pocket Nine for $595, please let me know where and I'll scope it up myself. As I said I see used ones going for $700+ (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=67269197).

Redefining Criminality: Untangling DHS's Record High Deportation Numbers
Michele Waslin: Because ICE categorizes criminal offenses so broadly, minor offenses can appear to be serious crimes. For example, drug-related crimes can include everything from dealing large amounts to simple possession;
Latinos Defend DHS's Focus on High Priority Immigration Cases
Seth Hoy: Anti-immigrant restrictionists will continue to drive a wedge between Latino voters and the Republican party by hurling racially charged sentiments—like today's accusation that President Obama is waging a war on "white America"—in hopes of stirring up their own base.
Immigration Case Backlog At All-Time High
Michelle Waslin: The growing backlog means that more immigrants are being kept in detention for longer periods of time. Making matters worse, a bill by Rep. Lamar Smith (H.R. 1932) to allow the U.S. to detain immigrants indefinitely is currently making its way through the House of Representatives.

Michele Waslin: Despite the clear facts, radio-show hosts, politicians, and immigration restrictionists still want you to believe that cities receiving SCAAP reimbursements are providing "sanctuary" to criminals.

Very Reliable Car
by Owns one from Portland | January 21, 2010
Still a classy car after 15 years, looks new, handles great and gets lots of lookers. Has features that were ahead of it's time. If I could afford it, and they still made them, I'd seriously think about buying another one.

BMW 8 Series
by I like Sportscars from Los Angeles, CA | November 18, 2008
The flagship of the BMW fleet, the 8-Series was made with every possible option and all of the technology that the BMW engineers could throw at it. Truly a classic, the 8-Series is an architectural feat, sleek and unique in its design. The engine is big and powerful and is Germany's answer to the Camero or Firebird, but still maintains the class, taste and style of exquisite European touring vehicles. My previous car was a 911 and though the 8 is not as fast off the line, it is a lot of fun to drive and a blast on the open road. The difference is the style and comfort, it's just one of the finest cars ever made, and there aren't that many. The wide stance, the throaty growl of the 4 liter engine, the aerodynamics both on top of the body AND underneath! A classic and a head turner, and as with most BMW's, surprisingly reliable due to the care that it was made with.
