///M5

Going to go drive one of the 08 3.5 DI right now. We shall see. I am really, really skeptical but hell it's lunch time.

The main draw on the S4 actually, the interior f&f is gorgeous. Time. Also value. Currently it should sell for what I paid for it, but I am near the mystical depreciation point of 100k miles. Just under 90k will suit the new owner more. Also, everytime I drive the car I don't drive it like I should. I am a bit too conservative with it since it is red, a classic, and if something catastrophic happens exorbitant to replace parts on. The little stuff is cheap, the big stuff absurd.

Maybe a BL would serve you better.

Umm, great. 304hp, 0-60 in the mid 6's. Not bad for a 6, but I really hate to buy a car that is slower or handles worse than my M. In particular when it is nearly 20 years newer

One's got woodgrain and metal, the other doesn't? Actually you just described the two parts of the new interior that I don't like. What I do is the leather covered dash, lack of cheap plastic everywhere, and a more logical integration for the Nav screen. I could care less about wood and the metal looks cheap even in the new one, although I'd take the metal and wood over plastic.

Here is my fundamental problem with the CTS: GM Crap. Although the new CTS I could live with the new. Although only a 3.6L V6 I am not so sure.

They aren't out yet.

This is ture Sean. I think there would be some warranty on it? Usualy if you buy the higher quality performance parts they are cheeper... and better than OEM. You know that though. I would be quite envious of you if you did get a great deal like that. Great car, I bet even more fun to drive. It's on my short list. Comfort is #1 of every car I have ever drove. Price is right at under 35,000 with only 28k. Say you dump in 5k right of fthe bat in repairs, it's still about the price it *should* be. That's my .02 =) 35k is affordable (*pukes*) 40k is not. I understand, I'm just being the devils advocate. I want to live through you and watch you get it. But average price sold for those with average miles is still 41k or so. The W really really likes the E class, so it's not a hard sell. I'm just nto sure with how much I dive and considering I won't buy a car that will be winter garaged, I maybe shouldn't own something like that. winter rims and tires can be had for the E for around $1400 delivered that look pretty good as well. My truck and M5 will get sold when this happens. Our cars are currently paid for which means: The M5 turns into all new kitchen appliances. The truck and the w's Audi turn into a Buick Enclave (or similar) so I can tow the boat/snowmobiles and she doesn't have to bend way over with a baby seat. And work leases me whatever I buy. <-- still hates the lease

Considering this is your first shot and midbass will help you a lot. I'd use the Seas CA18RNX. $150 or so for the pair and it will leave you with more than plenty to get a variety of great tweeters to go with them. What sort of mounting space and location do you have for the tweets?

Hell, I'd like a 7 chn. 500/250/250/100/100/50/50

walls are bad, mk

Not too hard to rip out all wiring and start from scratch though on a bike.

The extra money per month includes suspected repairs and standard maintenance costs. I now just have to figure out how to change the E55 from $250 to $100 and then we'd have a winner.

Damn it. Going to have to drive the damn E55 again, but I know myself and it will make me want no other car. Probably a stupid move too. Considering what work gives me towards a car lease. If I got a CTS-V it would be free and include a w505/H701/blackbird + snow tires and rims. If I get an S4 it will cost me about $100/mo If I get an E55 it will cost me $250/mo The other problem is that the 09 CTS-V will be really desirable to me in about 3 years and I won't want to go from one CTS to another. NO!!! By the way, I really, really hate leasing.

Go Wild!

or that perhaps this way it is more effective as procrastination

probably since I have never figured out how to whore really quickly without doing a mouse click, followed by a CTRL-V and then ALT-S.

I do prefer the type of whoring that Ramos and I did a while back that were all unique whore posts

haven't whored in a while, a really long while
