So YOU are the red p5 I see in bolton/storrs all the friggen time. I'm just down 85 in colchester.

You've been flashed by a navy blue miata a few times, including a few on route 85.

Anyway, my father in law just got a g35x.. I'd highly recommend it.

haha...ill keep my eyes out for ya dude...wat brings u around the bolton area?
 
Well I work in Storrs at the University, but I usually go through bolton to get to Manchester. My buddy B (also on the forums here, and a fellow mazda geek) lives right off camp meeting in Manchester.

Plus Bolton has some pretty fun roads for my little roadster to play on.
 
I dont know if she wants something sporty but if its in your budget (not sure what they retail used) but might want to look into a Jaguar XJ.

Ok of the cars she listed the ones who'd I'd expect to be a good fit would be the Merc or the Audi. But, German cars are expensive to maintain once the warranty is out, and I think I heard something about the early 3.5 L sixes in the Benz having problems, though I might be making this up.

If it's nice/soft enough for her, the Infiniti get's my nod.
