I LOVE the Q5s but I dunno...the repairs/maintenance of them is not something I want to deal with. Like that wouldn't be that cars purpose. I'd need the grocery kid mobile to be reliable and fixable DIY style.

I'd deal with the euro nonsense for MY car though.

The HUGE advantage for us gear head guys is that it's basically the same motor platform...comfort in knowing you can tackle most of it yourself.!

You know, I may know someone willing to unload a project vehicle. But you don't look like the type. It might be a little too much powa for you.

My pops was over at the shop last Thursday. Nothing new, nothing planned. His mechanic had his GTX outside though, and a Cobra on the lift.

Think he has a couple other cars inside the garage.

He has a customers car that passed away, just sitting, collecting dust.. (Can't remember what though)

My pops friends (most) are all gearheads. But there into muscle cars. D'uh it's the era they grew up in.

My dad's buddy has a 69 Chevelle blue with white rally stripes, just sitting in the barn. He swapped the auto tranny out and threw in a manual. He lives on some crazy amount of acreage, (enough to have a "greenhouse" private gun range and dirtbike jumps.) He's in the process of building a garage with lifts and all other type of shit, but he lives up in the mountains.

We know another guy who is a little spoiled. (no kids or wife) about 48 years old. The guy has

68' Camaro
72' Split bumper Camaro
67' Stang
55' Bel Air
his brother has a 72' Split bumper Camaro
Father in Law has a 67 C-10
Going to there house is a like a dream come true, if all the cars are there.

Then a friend of his a mini (the old school mini)
