That's is all.
Everything else is an estate or a sedan or a blasphemous SUV.
What about the Wrangler/Defender/Bronco 2 doors? Coupe or no? For the Wrangler/Bronco are they also a convertible?

IMO: Coupe = fixed roof car with 2 doors.
Convertible, typically a coupe with a removable/retractable roof.

The above trucks, are technically not coupes, as they are not 'cars', IMO. YMMV.

Still glad I kept the Volcano DSG...it's probably the vehicle getting the most use in our household right now.
New tune revision really woke up low end midrange...and improved efficiency for some reason.

Sometimes, you just find a car that ticks all the boxes for you...those are the ones you either hold onto or forever regret not holding onto.

PREACH!
Dude, if the Cadillac had had reasonable gas mileage on the highway...
if the TL had been AWD and faster...
if the S2000 could fit more than 2 people...

right you are!
I have zero plans to sell this thing.

Dude, this is the SECOND time I've owned both and I didn't even realize it.
Inverted headlights, wider rear hips on S5...and frameless doors...

Thank you!

Nope definitely did not.

I did, however, think to myself "didn't he sell this car a while ago?" but then I just came to the conclusion that I must have misread or something.

Congrats though! That third pedal sure is addicting!

I'm loving this damn thing...
I guess another benefit to a platform you know is you know where to get parts cheap, what wheel specs work etc etc...been about a month and
visually I got it looking the way I want. Now the challenge is to see if it's just a honeymoon period or not to decide on what other cars to sell.

I thought he was referring to selling one of his kids to fund the necessary expansion of the garage.

@ttribe He's referencing the fact that I only buy cars but never sell them.
Which is untrue but also kinda true at the same time.

Still alive and kickin...
S4 got new shoes...never loved the dark bronze so I went a little louder...LOVE the look, 20's are a little more harsh but it's for worldstar and the gram, sooooo worth it.

I can't bring myself to sell the S4 with the DSG...I LOVE this platform.
So much so we actually just sold my fiance's passat wagon and replaced with an Allroad. THREE B8.5 in the household now. Wild.

Thanks, man...
it's a bit loud and clashes with the satin silver on the mirror and roof rack but I like to go against the grain

Love it, the car looks fantastic. I honestly didn't even notice that clash until you mentioned it. Not upset about it at all.

Hey, thanks @SamDoe1 !!!

I honestly don't mind it at all...
wrapping all that in gold would be over the top and gold wheels aren't forever
although I had the other dark bronze wheels on for years and didn't like it that much SOOO
maybe they WILL stay on the car for a while LOL.
