This is the one we looked it. Hands down, so beautiful. It's a no go for both of us because we want a white one.

I too sometimes think I could dig automatic and comfort...but after driving the work F150 all day, it's smooth and stress free, but I ALWAYS am happy getting back into my personal vehicles at the end of the day!
S5 is definitely on my list of upgrades one day. Although I still have a really hard time not having a NON paid off car.

Pfff... all I read here is first world problems.
"Should I get the luxury sport coupe, or should I get the luxury sport SUV?"
"should I get the beautiful v8, or the beautiful v6T?"
Oh the dilemmas y'all face. I'll just get back to driving my decade old plebe sedan It even has AC

I watched my Miata drive past me yesterday, going in the other direction. Surprisingly, I didn't feel any remorse. She looked nicely taken care of and I felt happy for the new owner. Odd.

Also I get the idea of buying a good car and not touching it. I won't do near to the S5 what I did to the TL.
Wheels, spacers, tint right from the start. Tune and maybe a drop once the warranty is gone.
Maybe a couple CF lip diffusers and or RS5 grill.
Annnnd done.

I blame Mercedes commercials for my problems.

yeah, but then I wouldn't have my beloved S2000 and TL-S.
and then I'd have a car that I MIGHT love more than both of the others...
that might only be good at 3 things, when the other 2 cars are good at 8 things, combined.
I ono...the evil you know. I'm actually happy.

and I won't say everyone is like me...
but I got the silver S2000 and said it was perfect how I got it and wouldn't mod. Modded.
then did same with yellow...modded.
TL-S I basically just modded to the level black was at and I've stopped!

I get what you're saying. Just don't use the car payment excuse again... :P
And we are all enthusiasts. Modding is what we do. It's why we're here.

I made a whole list of mods I was going to do the the TL..
Then I started traveling for work and drive maybe 50 miles a month...
that's the best way to not mod it... Being and thinking to yourself, why the eff are you going to mod it? It's just sitting there...
So my list is just ever-growing now

Just buy a house and mod that. Wait, that didn't help....
Shit if I travelled more, I'd probably mod more.... Kuz I'll be bored in the hotel so I'd be buying shit.

bought a house, that didn't work...had a baby...that didn't work.
Chad, the payment thing is what I cling to to convince myself I'm happy, man.
Either way, if happiness with your vehicle is tied to boredom and relative...you're bound to be unhappy and bored with the next car too and maybe even not love it as much as what you got (assuming you do)...so it gives me the warm and fuzzies to not cough up Z's college fund on something with more computers and less manual transmissions (overall, not your choice specific)

Why do you have to convince yourself that you're happy? Sounds to me like you're not happy

Shouldn't need convinced at all. Best 3G TL (Best non-NSX Acura ever? ) Hot S2000 (Best Honda ever? ). You're doing fine.

So I've personally never bought a car from a private seller. And I've certainly never done so out of state. Any tips guys?

well, thank you, firstly.
Secondly, in my experience...happiness is a choice. Not just something bestowed on some lucky schmuck. So, when you see a hot chick, you don't dump your gf/wife to go check that out because you have chosen to be happy. When you see a car that's faster and newer than your car, same deal. You choose to say I'm happy. That's how it works for me...

Chad, get a feel for the buyer...anything seems out of place...bail. I ask a LOT of telling questions...and I pay attention to details, I read up on their forum posts, see if it correlates to what they are saying...make sure nothing doesn't jive with their reason for selling or condition...make sure they're willing to send WHATEVER pictures you ask for within a pretty quick turnaround. Tons if excuses or whatever, I'm out...I get the feeling you're not what you say, I'm out...

Until you learn to be happy with what you've got, you'll never be happy with what you get..
