Sean, thanks for the info.

So my test drives were rather uneventful as the past few days have yielded nothing but torrential downpours, so it wasn't the best for performance tests aside from testing the AWD systems.

The Audi was very nice, but it has a quirkiness about it I am not ready for. Too many buttons and gadgets and no matter how I adjusted the seat, I could not get comfortable in the car. I loved the power and the Quattro, but all in all, not something I would buy.

The Charger was okay. I really like the looks, but aside from that, it left a lot to be desired. I like it's size, and my inability to really test its performance limits sucked, but I thought it would be a little more luxurious due to its size and all its appointments. Fit and finish were poor, but I went straight to this from the Audi, so I may have been hoping for more. I don't know how they rate on NVH, but this thing had several annoying squeaks and rattles from both the interior and the front end. I did like the fit and feel of the interior. My only gripe is the C-pillars were a huge blind spot issue. I would have really liked to flog this on a cool, dry day.

Now the Volvo I really liked. Like the others I've driven, this thing was dead quiet. There is no hint of 300HP what-so-ever. The AWD system was great, interior was great, it was very roomy, and drove excellent. I think these have the Haldex AWD system, and while it is nice, it seems a little too biased at the front. It could have just been the wet conditions and the TC acting up, but it presented a small amount of torque-steer I did not expect. Overall, this was my best experience of the day, but like the Audi, it has some quirky things I don't like. It must be the European influence.

4 year old Audi compared to a brand new Dodge, I don't think it is too much to ask for good quality craftsmanship. If you are looking at the Audi, have you considered a 325iX ?

the wife has now purchased 3 wedding dresses.

I hope you don't have multiple cats.

2 and a black lab of the roomies.

If we are trying to be a serious forum, we should have our posters be serious as well.

Serious Cat is serious.

I don't care if you aren't able to, but typing things like cuz and other similar shit just hoods out the forum.

I know what you mean, and it stinks. But maybe over time they will adjust and improve. Man I sound like a hippie.

Classes are to resume tomorrow, still no power at the apartment though so oh well

... i'm thinking of upgrading the HT guys..... I have the my old PJ but I'm getting the upgrade bug, and I want something with 1080p and better black levels. But then I would be tempted to also upgrade the reciever.... what to do!?

I'd agree if it were a 4.2

Damn hippies... :P

<--- Can't remember last time I even wore sandals.

I feel very, very sorry for your feet. I normally wear flip flops but that is to appease the wife, birks are way more comfortable. Since 1992 I have burned through more than 10 soles and 5 uppers :Doh:

spend it on the house first mang

the onlything I could do is siding... and I'm not spending it.....

Deck and patio will be next spring, along with fixing the water feature.

I've been spending like a mad man, but in reality, i've only "wasted" 2k.

and I've almost paid that back. I did just pay for the wifes dress though, she went broke on the first 2

=/

that 2 K was on the server which is also my personal game computer and do it all machine... and my Hanns G 28"

I <3 my Hanns

I want 2 now though lol

the wife is now telling me to spend a bit of cash on the HT and a new used car....

That makes it tough.... as I haven't really spent a dime, and the extra 700 in cash flow is nice, double hard to not spend a few bucks. I need a snowblower or plow and a mower first.

I don't want to push mow .5 acre

BIRKS FTMFW!

My corck blows out as I'm MUCH heavier than you from what I understand. I'm on pair #4. I miss working in the shoe store when I was in HS.

Sean getting feisty, I like :D

It really is tilting at windmills...as long as there's a disconnect between "what you write for school" and what you do on here there's going to be no connecting to those people.
