Never thought I'd do it, but picked up a Tesla Model S in March which is no Porsche but will give most any 4 door sedan a run for its money. It's quick off the line and handles well (for a sedan) in corners. I've had a few drag races and it holds its own. Occasional Wrangler for the snow storms.

Sorry for de-railing your thread with my wishes …

I really like that motorcycle, so If anyone can put me in touch with the owner It would be greatly appreciated.

I've decided to go with an Audi S4 2010-2013 in Manual. The RS4 is a close second but the car is older and good examples are more than the RS4.

I'm looking for something I can drive for a few years so I can move into the current M5 when the prices get down to about 50-60K/.

We have similar tastes on this board so I am hoping to see what you all drive or if you have any suggestions. I'm inclined to keep my car as it's not worth a whole lot. Looking to see what the difference delta would be to move into something newer.

Thanks for now.
one of these two.
one is 14 speed manual
one is 8 speed auto.
both have their charms.

good luck with your search.

My daily Dodge Ram 2500 6.7L cummins with Carli suspension and billet air bags.
Rides like a 1500, more shock travel then a Raptor and tows more then a Raptor.
Hauls snowmobiles in the winter and tows race car in the summer.
Pull the sway bar links and she will gobble up dummy curbs in a Walmart parking lot at speed.

Hmm. Depends on which day it is. But if it's Saturday and I'm going to the hardware store, or the farm to check the hives, or fishing, I take the ******.

Lexus LS- I know, polar opposite of everything the 993 stands for....

I will say for the daily grind/commute, it's sometimes nice to just kick back in this armchair on wheels.

Unfortunately so. But having that much torque was so much fun.
