I'm glad to see I'm in good company...

Dustin - if I went back to Audi, I'd rather score a nice titanium package CPO'ed RS4. The new S4 just doesn't jump out at me. The RS5 looks too tame and doesn't appear to be coming to the US anyway.

Damn it sucks having this habit (and usually the means to do it). Keep the input coming - I'm sure my wife will get a kick reading the responses and telling me "I told you!"

I have the habit, just not the means.

Not interested in another P-car?

Yeah I want a new GT3 bad... I have a great spec in mind, but it's a little out of reach with my current plans in mind. By late 2011, I'll be ready to go. The only question is whether I want to spend $130K or so on a car I won't drive daily and I won't take to the track (because I don't want a $130K ball of sheetmetal). If I lived in CA again, I'd DD the GT3 no question.

Yea, if you were to get a GT3 in the spring you wouldn't have much time before the snow/ice came. I still have somewhat of a Hawaii frame of mind and sometimes I forget the seasons change. The past week here (st louis) we've been having great weather and occasionally I'll get flustered because I want to go for a nice drive, but have too much work to do.. then I remember I'll be home in Hawaii from at least May 2010 to August 2011 and 99% of the days will be nice driving days

Well, I'll let you know if I come across another. I just sold the Daytona one to a good friend of mine that he plans to DD. You should really go and try out a B8 S4 though. It is one of the most impressive, fun to drive Audi's in recent memory. the power oversteer is loads of fun, and the S/C V6 has tons of tuning potential.

Just to be clear, I (TUUNER) could not pull off the M3...my line of work prevents that...that does not mean that Chris can't...Chris could crush me with the hair on his little pinky finger...

You've seen my pinky hair and lived to tell about it?





I don't drive clients, etc. around - just my wife.

Yeah - the new C-Class interior is disappointing, plus no manual...
