As a side note, I'm starting work at Ford R&D, so I suppose I could always buy a used Ford DD considering the 30 MI commute into Detroit...also don't want to get *&#$ from my coworkers for driving a better car

Thanks!
Maybe the culture has changed, but I thought you pretty much HAD to drive American (and preferably Ford) if you worked at Ford? I hope you don't work at / near a plant. I was under the impression that a car like a BMW would be risking vandalism if it were parked in a plant parking lot.

Btw, I'm as big a fan of BMWs as anyone, but there are plenty of nice Ford cars as well. With that kind of attitude you won't endear yourself to your new co-workers. (Maybe I'm biased from having driven a Ford for the last ten years. )
