Nope. I take all jokes about AMs seriously.



And did you just call me dipshit...?!?












BTW, phil...if I'm ever serious about anything, you should probably be worried. Now, try to leave the name-calling out.

I decided since I lived in snow country, I would go with an All Wheel Drive. We've decided to go for an Audi S8 which will become an easy daily driver.

^I wanted white but I would have to order and it would be $$$ whereas I could have a silver one for 80g with a little more than 7,000 miles.

It's ok..To be truly honest with you, I've never considered silver on any of my cars...I find it to be a very simple and mundain color I'm still heavily searching for a used white one, white being a color that does justice to the car's beauty.

I'll keep waiting. I'm taking the 3 back to the dealership though, as I need to keep it's value. I only had 9600kms on it so far .

We looked at the quattroporte a year or so ago - really like the outside of the car and the comfortable interior. Wasn't to impressed with the design. Car drove well and was quick. Fairly pricey though - decided on the S6

My thoughts exactly. I think it looks like a bland GM compared to the last one.

get the fucking m5 man!


if u ever get bored w/it stock, there are so many mods that will always keep u excited....why would u sacrifice 3 cars for 1 coupe? The QP is nice, but i know u will get easily bored w/it...basic BPU upgrades on an m5 will be insane!!!

once ur bored w/the m5 in a few yeras then move on to a 911 turbo

I'd say wait a while to get the color combo you want, especially when your paying so much money. IMO silver is probably one of the worst and bland colors there are, wait and I'm sure you'll be much happier when you eventually get the right colors.

Great choice with the S8 btw

M5 with red interior doesn't flow too well, Honda does a great job of making black/red interiors (see S2000, various Type-Rs) Just felt like adding my now useless comment.

Oh and S6

I'm second guessing myself again...Come to think of it there is no need/fun for an expensive luxo-cruiser that pretends to be sporty. I love, love the S8 and would really love to get one, but I cringe when I remember the depreciation or how quickly I'll become bored with such a heavy car...Spending that much money on a car with four doors and not a manual coupe sounds like a bad move to me...I think instead of taking the S8 route, I'll trade in my E92 for an E90 wait and maybe get an E92 M3 or a 911, next year..
