The RR is now sold. It was a good car with flat-out the best ride I've ever experienceed in an automobile. It was, however, a bit of a temperamental diva. After 3 years, wifey was not having it and I had to "upgrade" to my TL which made her very happy. Happy wife = happy home I guess. But I gotta tell you, I've been pleasantly surprised by the TL. I owned an Accord through college and when it was time to change cars, I had only 2 cars in contention from the start... BMW 5 series and the 4G Acura TL with Tech... AWD or not. After 5 months of research and deal searching, it was a close call but I closed in on the TL and never looked back.

49 yo
Project Engineer (Mechanical Engineer) for Chemical Co. outside New Orleans, LA.
2012 TL SH-AWD w/Tech, White
(Soon to be divorced w/ 14yo son & 11yo daughter)
It seems that the TL has a broad spectrum of owners; young and old; which is a marketing directors dream.
The car only has 305 HP but it can lay it ALL on the road with the AWD; even in the Louisiana rain. Have yet to spin the tires. I even get better gas mileage than my 1999 TL.

The girlfriend thing is risky until your kids are over 18
as you may be forced into a Kia if the wife catches you and hits you for child support in the divorce 
;-)GS350 F Series, nice car if you can deal with that damn mouse controller and some of the limited tech options
Waiting for new TL is not going to satisfy that crisis for another 6 months, you sound like you have an itch that needs scratching now

Don't Do It!!!
Stay away from that ultimate commitment BullShit. It will only cost you money in the long run (that is of course if you make more than she).
Trust me, that shit gets old and fat. You're gonna wanna trade that in at some point for some new and hotness and the old girl will just give you problems and take all the money you were going to spend on the new one.
I trade up about every 10 years or so...in fact, bitch gained like 10 pounds just over the summer. Turning out the lights just isn't working for me anymore.
Oh, and be sure to use a hidden web browser like FireFox to surf porn on. Leave the Chrome for business and the lady of the house to use. If she finds you looking at other young hotties she'll cut off the BJ's...trust me
