And you look for opportunities to brag about your fleet. Which is fine when you do it in your own threads but gets kind of tedious when it seeps into other threads.

You could be possibly right...who knows what the guy can or can not afford?

Gee....I thought this was a car forum....Should I speak of cars I DON'T have. I recommended a car I own...get over it.

I really like that you live in Texas. But really - if he was willing to spend $120K+ on a car - wouldn't he have been asking about other cars in the R8 class instead of a $45K car?

No different than you suggesting a Porsche or M5. $85 grand for a M5 is a little different that the $45K you stated the Audi is. I have no idea how much they are...never looked into them.
And Drover...Just sayin'...common sense has nothing to do with it. If you find my cars and my posts "tedious" than block my posts. It's a great little feature CD has. Then you won't be subject to them.
LOL...I guess you won't be sending me a "friend request"

I like Shelby's suggestions, mainly because I like the fact that she has driven them.

I've driven most of the cars I recommend too, just not (sadly) owned them.

Anyway, I much prefer the S4 to the M3.

Like someone else said, an M3 is kind of like the default "I have money and want an expensive toy car".

An S4 says someone put some time and effort into their research.

Besides, Audi's look 100X better than BMW.

Please read my post. I suggested opening the search to used cars. M5s do not hold their value at all and can be found in that range. That's how he could afford a 911 or XKR if the S4 is the basic price range.

Sorry...skipped over the "used" part. My bad.
