so long vette?

Spoke with the local Audi dealer yesterday, they have 2 unspoken for allocations for S5's and 1 is mine for a $1000 fully refundable deposit if I want it. I'ld have to sell the Z to make room for it in the garage, but I think I've had my fun with the Vette over the last 3.5 years and it's time for something new.... maybe.

Tough decision, but damn, that S5 is calling my name....

Different kind of fun. What's bothering me most is that the vette sits in the garage for 5 months every year.

I think that a 354HP AWD 2 door coupe has it's fun factor don't you?

I think everything has a fun factor Although it could be, it's not going to be your daily driver, is it?

What color?

no, i still have the trailblazer as a DD/park & ride "car". It's rock solid, no problems, comes off of lease a year from january and then i'm looking at the Tahoe Hybrid I think, but that's a ways off.

color? thinking black exterior, mustang brown/black interior...

Your white striped vette will always gonna be a looker. Can't say the same about the A5, which will get lost in the crowd after a couple of years.

problem is it's a pig and it's slow. Don't do it.. you will regret it. C6 Z06 or you can settle and get a 335i vert and still be a ton faster
