KillaCam Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 I'd say the CTS. Would be a nice comfortable ride for work seeing as you're traveling that far. And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle Chick took 3 shots of Jager, and then, pissed in my mouth..

Hunters21w Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 The first couple vehicles listed, you will spend roughly $25 a day in gas.. Lol Didn't check the last options but you might want something a little more gas efficient. Otherwise all your new hard earned money will go straight to the gas tank. 06 Police TahoeHU- Pioneer 80prsAmp- Crossfire 8kSub- 4 15" Crossfire xs v2sWire- 1/0 Knu/AudiotechnixAlt- 3 Mechman SMD 340sBatts- 6 XS Power 3100s, 2400

RyanJ Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 Depends what you want. I would take the Lexus / Infiniti but thats just me. The Jeep wont do well with the 110 miles a day.If you get the G37S, that pushes out more then 300 HP and it's a nice car.
