AS RIC FLAIR WOULD SAY, SHE'S "STYLIN' AND PROFILIN'!"

Jeremy Wallace in his Sarasota Herald Tribune political blog this morning takes note of a piece in the weekly Capitol Hill newspaper The Hill about how Congresswoman and U.S. Senate candidate Katherine Harris (R - Longboat Key) gets around DC.

While many Members of Congress, sensitive to supporting American automakers, come to work in homemade brands, The Hill mentioned that Ms. Harris' mode of transport is a BMW645ci convertable...a German-made ride with a base price tag of $77,000.

The 4.4-liter, six-speed V-8 delivers 325 horsepower and does zero to 60 in 5.5 seconds.

On BMW’s website, the homepage for the 6-Series entices thusly: “Live vicariously through no one — Legend of the road. Heir to a six-decade tradition of refining luxury, perfecting performance. Commanding style. Unmatched precision. Pure passion. The 6. The ultimate reward.”
