Test drives
On my way home from work and I didn't want to go home so I stopped by the BMW dealer and then the Audi dealer.
Test drove a 330 Ci (auto
) and then a Audi TT and an S4. The Audi dealership people were real nice. I liked their approach. Totally not pushy and just handed me the keys and told me "see ya later!!" This is despite the fact that I said I was just looking!! AND i drove the S4 at the request of the salesman!! He told me that that is his favourite car and that I should try it out! I spent a long time their. The TT was fun to drive. I like it a lot. Is that a girly car? It can't be that girly because they are all stick! Anyhoo, i beat the shit out of the TT. The guy also told me that customers modify the shit out of their cars and that the dealer didn't really car. They only way that they would care is if that they could prove that any damage was a result of the mods. He was actually encouraging mods!! Great sales technique.
The S4 was real nice too. Wheels, chipped...real fun to drive, hugged the turns. Quattro is kinda cool. I like the 4 wheel drive action!!! In both cars. The problem with the s4 is that it has two too many doors for my tastes, otherwise i thought it was a cool car.
the 330, ahhh.. I just love they way that car looks. I drove it breifly real nice and tight feeling. It had the sports an winter packages. black on black. They way I like it. The only thing is that it was an auto...they didnt have a single manual on the lot. I was like fuck!! the other thing that i didnt like was the 47K price tag. that was painful. I love that car, probably my favourite...but not for that much $$$$. Maybe when i win the lottery or somethin!

47K for a 330Ci??? Are you sure???
Only reason I ask, is with every stinkin' option on a 330 comes out to 46K. I'm I'm going to guess it didn't have navi. or the 18"s on there...
Just curious...

The TT is not a girls car. I think it's too small though. It looks better in cab. form. oh btw all the 2003 180hp TT's have autos! Pretty smart! They did this so they would get the most lifespan out of the TT design

there are no new S4's right now. They are waiting for the new body style. he said that the new ones will be probably with v-8's and in the 50K+ range.

Yea TT is a hot car... too small for my fat ass though. But would be one fun car to mod and have as a weekend car.
S4, always be pimp.... Lots of mods you can do. VRROOOOM
330ci... well you really need to drive the manual. Its night and day with the two. If ya really want, ill let ya drive my car at the meet. Just remember i have winter tires on so they arent as sticky.
