What would you Choose?

So I am getting married and as part of the package at my church, Eric Freeman Motors offers any car at their used European dealership for me to drive away from my wedding and enjoy for the weekend.

So I have a few choices at the moment:
1. 2007 Jaguar XKR Convertible (Auto)
2. 2007 BMW M5 (Auto)
3. 2006 Porsche Boxter (Manual)
4. 2003 Benz SL500 (Auto)


Now I would like to have a convertible, but I am not entirely sold on that. The Jaguar is gorgeous and sounds very nice, The M5 is iconic and a dream car of mine, The Porsche would be a fun drive, and the Benz is straight up bad ***.

What would you guys want to drive of given the choice?

If you are going somewhere with twisty roads I'd choose the M5 or the boxter.

As a woman, I would want the jag on my wedding day.

I own a XJR. Fun around town and hold on when the supercharger kicks in.

With that being said I would go with anything but the porsche.

Where are you getting married at? I'm getting married next month and don't have a car to drive away in yet.

I'd take the XKR. It's a classy ride.

Solid Rock Church by Washington Square. The owner of Freeman Motors (Eric Freeman) goes to this church with me so it is his gift to people who get married at this church. Sweet Deal!

First off F the M5 and Porsche (I say that cuz i see like 30 of them every day haha they are just old to me) even if the Porsche would be more fun cuz its a manual. But I would go SL500 but if its a sunny day that is a hard call, take the top off the Jag or just have one of the most bad *** looking cars... I am going SL500.

Or know you could see if someone will let you use there FD
