$10k for something nice to look at could buy some decent art. Or perhaps you could go the GFF route and buy a special lady a giant rack.
Audi / EuroMonkeys: Thoughts on an Audi A3 Kombi as a bike hauler?
- Thread starter N8 v2.0
- Start date
Why not an e-fatbike?
That would be the BMW "GT". That thing is hideous. I think the GC looks like how the 3 series should look. Undecided on the A5 sportback, doesn't look too tempting in pictures I've seen to date, but would hold off till I've seen it in person. Most audis look quite bland, even the S models these days.
No but they actually do make the new Asstec
I can tell you this it looks even worse in real life. Also you Americans don't get the stripped down Audi and BMW models where the hideous really shines through. Even the pretty A7 you can get in a version that don't even have the pop up spoiler and you average Camry looks better.
I'm sure those speakers cost $1500 a piece
Take the base price of a porsche, multiply by 1.5, that's how much they really cost.While i was in Germany, I spec'd out a Porsche 718 Cayman and that whole process is basically a'la cart and the price racks up very quickly.

I've started to look at the 718. This GT4 was at my local brewery a few weeks ago. So hawt...
New or used?I've been wanting a 911 GTS for years, but after consulting with my financial advisor
Used of course.
Imagine all the money you will "save".
Just pulling your leg.
Convertibles aren't my thing but I could see a Cayman being a blast if I didn't live somewhere where I was always stuck behind someone doing at least 10mph under the speed limit.
I am pretty sure that about 30% of drivers in Washington are either way too old to still be driving or stoned out of their gourds.
I plan to buy one to pose in the grocery store parking lot.
I'll bet that's a SWEET car to sit in traffic in...
I used to like fun to drive cars. There is no fun to be had on a road in this town. My next car will be something with the quietest interior. The very round gravel they used in the roads around here turns every driven surface into cobblestones. The resulting tire noise is deafening. I don't bother looking for car when crossing the street, I just listen for them.I'll bet that's a SWEET car to sit in traffic in...
But yes, the pavement in your area is terrible.
The Mercedes C63 AMG has a very quiet interior. It's like a vault. You should get one.
I will pick one up on my way to get my monocle up from the cleaners.

I just wish I still had the camaro SS (with the upgraded sways and a few other suspension bits). That thing was serious fun, handled way way better than my BMW and of course had the power and trans to back it up. Everyone one at work thinks my BMW must have some sort of secret sauce in it that makes it way better than other cars. There are some nice things, but it's not a sports car and even with the suspension work I've done it's just ok. Thinking about dumping the BMW and getting a cheap truck and then a SS 1LE...not any time super soon, but it wouldn't cost me much money effectively.
Plus 1 on Mercedes. My brother in law has an old ML 350 d suv and it is by far the quietest car I've ever been in. Other problems to be had, though.

Someone had one of those at the shop the other day and they discovered a split catalytic converter. Old ass SUV, but it cost around 2 grand.
I have just bought a C63.

Few cars (short of the RS Porsches) have the brutish quality of it.
Heavy steering, harsh suspension (even in Comfort mode); but god when you floor it....... my 3 year old son loves it.
worth it for mountain driving.I'll bet that's a SWEET car to sit in traffic in...
My gf has a VW Golf VI 2.0 TDI 4motion. They only came with sports chassis.
That car is sooo much fun driving switchbacks or on snow, it's unreal. It drives like a fvcking go kart with 4-wheel steering. And it absolutely murders on snow. I remember one time going to my parents in the evening to be in the ski resort the next day as it snowed heavily. Started snowing at around 800 meters above sea level and my parents farm is at around 1450m. Steepest parts of the street have a pitch of 15%. There was like 15cm of pow on the streets and almost no other cars. The few cars we passed had to have snowchains on. We were just on winter tires. You could basically drive the car like it was a dry street.
Probably the most fun I have ever had in a car.
Could it have more horsepower? Yes, but the 150hp is the best compromise between mileage per liter, power, weight and reliability.
a reason for moving to europe....
my younger brother drove both his fj 80 land cruisers with the same abandon in the snow when he used to ski.
Passed one of these on my way to work
I had an Audi 4000Q that was just a blast to drive in snow. So predictable...
he has a 2012 A4 sedan with 4banger turbo engine.....diiesel sportwagen sold back to vw.
