As far as daily transportation - I can't pick on it, I do have an S4 ...but it still dosen't get my heart going.
One of the fun things about instructing is that you get to see, ride and drive all sorts of things. Last fall there was this nice RS4 at the Oktoberfest...Watkins Glen in the rain....I had more fun in the JCW Mini!

It looks like a BMW 3-series...no different, really. Or any other two-door coupe that is out at the moment (G-35, Honda, Solara, even a little like the 4-door charger form the rear quarter back-side view, etc..). Nothing wrong with that of course....just something I would see the wife in, not me. Unless of course it was church Sunday, tea and crumpet time at the polo grounds...or something.

As for Dave having one.....well....I guess it was time for him to come out of the closet eventually

But then again, I drive a 2500 Cummins Turbo with a 6" lift and 36's or the '51 or the Shelby. Not alot of in between for me

That car is uglier than farmer's daughter's teeth (imho).

I also drive a Ford F250 but I don't brag because I have a big bulge in my pants. The car is for picking up chicks. That is one thing that a 944t can't do, sorry.

Dave I told you last time you asked....you don't need that car to pick up women at the Senior Citizen Center. Just tip over their wheel chairs and scoop'em up...you could be driving a Pinto for all they care, just ask JoKA.

Well, take a ride in a Foxbody with 500+hp. That will get you heart pounding but still no fun on the track. A stock S4 or RS4 or S5 or any of these Audi's are boring on the track. These Audi's are not track cars. This is a silly debate.

There is a guy here in Chicago with an 500awhp S4, it will make you crap your pants on the street, track and in the snow.

AND not to mention it was a Diesel Chevette, not a Pinto...

I do, your chicken legs next to that tiny nut cracker. I've used heavier equipment cracking open a twist off beer cap.

ps - I was just on the heavy equipment forum asking how to convert my 1271 to propane.

Hmmm....a matched set - the S5 for picking up chicks and the 'Gayman' for picking up guys....

The both the 07 an 08' Gaymen's were traded in, I couldn't get enough guys So, I thought I'd try my luck with the ladies but, I hear you guys, it sucks owning 2 cars that are new and not breaking down or under construction for 10 years or needing constant upgrades to make them fast.

There is something nice about putting in gas and riding in a new, fast car that is completely smooth and quiet.

Oh there are so many lines to be said here it's not funny....well actually they are funny but.., well you know I wouldn't want to offend any of the participants in this thread.
Oh for the record I think that hotted up version looks pretty nice. That's 'nice' not 'rice'
Then again they were calling me Riceboy at the track the other day when I turned up with the car like in the Avatar. Should I have pointed out the latest GT3RS Cup car with a very similar wing.....
