If I got a new grocery getter...

I had a discussion with one of my best friends and told him that i'm still driving my Audi. I told him I'm going to drive my A4 / daily driver until it dies. It just wouldn't be right letting someone else put it to pasture. The audi has actually never left me stranded, only sort of close 2 times. First was at church when the ignition module that drives the coils literally melted (it turned into a plastic blob) and second at a business meeting in Paramus when a $15 dollar coolant sensor failed. Both times the car actually started and drove. I admit I had to remove the coolant sensor in the parking lot and put an open flame to it but that is a long story. Sounds dumb but I used to carry a PDA with an OBD2 sensor around with me so I knew what was wrong.

So since my car is 10 years old and has 144k its time to pick a new car. When I actually buy it???? This is what you get for being mechanically inclined and using Mobile 1. After some debate with my car loving buddies I've narrowed the choices.

#1 3 series wagon with M-sport package. Make as much fun of it as you want but it's hot. The only girls I get in my car I meet at gas stations anyways.



#2 Used 2005/2006 M5. I don't know about this one. Maybe after I'm 40. Too flashy, too fast, 17 MPG on the highway.

#3 S4 avant. I know, I know, another audi, but they make good daily drivers and I wouldn't need to get another set of BMW wheels. I think I have 5 sets of wheels for the M Coupe right now !!!
