Oct 13 2008
It should be no surprise that driving the 2008 Bentley Continental GT was a refined experience, but I still feel guilty that I drove it to the grocery store and my child’s preschool.

While driving the 2008 IS-F, the super-fast version of Lexus’ midsize sedan, I imagined a cartoon angel and devil riding on each shoulder. The devil on my shoulder loved nearly every minute of driving this fast car.

I’m dubbing the 128i the toddler of BMW’s lineup; while it’s scrumptiously attractive and super fun at times, it can be downright testy in its daily use.

A BMW convertible is always fun, but did you know that the 2008 BMW 335i convertible is also a wonderful PMS buster? As the 335i rolled into my driveway, I was already suffering, but driving it proved to be a PMS-lifting experience.

The 2008 Jaguar XJ Super V8 will lure you and your family with its luxurious leather, substantial backseat and its two — that’s right, count ‘em, two — rear entertainment systems.
2009 Mercedes-Benz SL, SLK Preview
Jun 16 2008
I can’t imagine anything more freeing than a fabulous convertible and an open stretch of road. Both the SL and the SLK offer a way out of the day-to-day drudgery of Mommydom, but it won’t come cheap. In fact, you may have to sell one of your children to make it work at all.

Upon hearing that I was testing a 2008 Mazda MX-5 Miata, my friend Meredith told me her Miata story. When she went to buy her first car after her daughter was born, she settled on a station wagon. After the ink dried on all the paperwork, her husband asked her if she was excited. She said that while she was content with the wagon, there was really a Miata in her soul.

In ancient Greek mythology, Eos was the goddess of the dawn. As in, here comes the sun, break out the SPF and put on your shades. As I drove the Eos, I embraced my own inner sun goddess and shared my light with the world.

I took my son to a birthday party in a full-blown blizzard in the S5, and she didn’t bat an eyelash. Everyone was all over the place on the slippery, slushy roads, but I just cruised right through like someone who’d had the red carpet cleared for them.

If driving a non-family car is your idea of fun, or if you’re ready to burst out of your parental stage of life, the Z4 M coupe is a great manifestation of that desire. If you’re not quite there yet, I’d look for something with a couple seats in the back.
