Well I just looked at it again and had to edit it.
Thats about the only time I swear, is when I'm driving and I see one that fits the profile. Starbucks and cell phone in hand, driving her Excursion/Explorer/Suburban/ect. while she is the only one in the car, either 20 mph over the speed limit (eating all our gas) or 20 mph under on the freeway.
I actually say it so much my g/f now calls them when she sees them, even being the same gender.

Hei J-money...
you remind me of me about 5 years earlier. I was all over the place lookin for cars. I went from honda civic and accord, Acura Integra, Toyota Solara, Ford Mustang, Chevy Corvette, BMW 5 series, BMW M3, Lexus SC400, Mercedes C class, Mercedes E class... .whoo... lot more...
Hei, how do you like your A4? what are your impressions? Those are one of the brands unavailable here where I'm at. I'd like to get one. And I may be closer to getting one cuz I guess I might sell my GS3 after it comes back from the shop.

Impressions of my A4. .... I bought it to take to the mountain for snowboarding, but I haven't been able to go yet. We had a big snowstorm and everyone bought up all the chains.

Anyhow... it has been awesome. Corners like no other car I've been in. Audi's interior is top notch. There is TREMENDOUS space inside and the trunk. However, I'm one of those weirdo's that doesn't like space. I like the confined cockpit feel. My g/f is in love with it, fortunately, that way we don't eat the depreciation on it and get rid of it.
For the car its supposed to be its amazing. However, I demand a little more power and a little less head room. Great car though.

My car has a very odd tire size: 235/45/17
Welcome!!
And you do know the current S4 has dropped the twin turbo V6 for the 4.2L V8 (since you were concerned about the turbos)?

Also, I stated I was looking for a B5 s4. B5 is the body style of the 2000-2002 S4's. Since I don't have 50 large to drop on a new one.

EDIT: Also, as stated previously, the Quattro system makes it tight in the wheel well so normal chains don't fit, have to have cable chains, on top of all the other quirks.

Everyone knows that toyota makes the best transmissions in the world. So if toyota transmissions cant live up to your beating then nothing can(unless you ugrade to performance clutch etc..)

The stock 235/45 17 tire size is an odd tire size even though a lot of GS's have them. Whenever I go to a tire shop they never have them. They always have to order them.
