Neither. I need an auto. Too many people end up having to drive my car for that to be an option.... Plus Audi's dual clutch 7spd auto is fantastic. Makes a great little burble on each upshift. BMW manual shifters have a tendency to be a bit rough, I'd prefer an auto there too.

And after seeing the process of some of BMW's suppliers I almost would rather buy an Audi.... It goes both ways.... I trust the German car made in Germany a little bit more. The audi. But man, that blue is so sexy.

Yeah, it does go both ways, so I suggest to test drive all cars thoroughly and make a decision based on that.

I am partial to blue!

Driven both extensively. Last time I went down to South Africa to see my family, I borrowed my uncles 335 manual coupe for a week. He has like 10 cars including a restored WWII Jeep.

Another reason I don't want to buy a manual is the only time I've driven manuals was any time I'm down there.... And take a guess what side of road they drive on? Yup, it's weird shifting gears with your left arm.

I've been driven both the '09-12 and '13- now S4, 13 is a bit better to drive but they are way too expensive for my budget.

Now I have to decide. I really miss driving a smaller car, but I love having the truck for biking, camping, construction, and large purchases....

So it's either $30k car and $15-20k truck vice-versa OR buying a new 13 FX4 for around $41k and spending the extra money on mods. This is all the extra money from working on our properties so I'm not exactly emptying my pockets and blowing all my money.

I know what you mean, I have two vehicles, ( my truck and a 95 v6 mustang- that I'm getting ready to drop a supercharger in excited) and sometimes I do feel like just driving the smaller car.. so the two vehicles would win in my book... pls if you're working on one, you don't have to rush cuz you got an extra vehicle.

Plus my parents come down from Calgary several times a year and they are tired of renting cars, so that would also give them a set of wheels to use.

Hey now, I have a 12 in my truck under the back seat. I also used to competition systems back in the day. I had a bug that could do 150spl. I still have half the components in the garage attic. Still have 2 10s 3 8s 2 more amps, crossovers etc. I went simple on this build for now.

I still need to get picks of the trucks for you guys.

Since my company made me a manager and moved to Greenville I don't have nearly the time that I used to.

Hey moody do you have any chrome vinyl? I was thinking of reversing my fender and tailgate badges.

Moody Blue

I do have chrome that might look pretty cool never seen that before

Good upgraded sound system? sure. So many speakers that the entire car rattles and no longer actually resembles music just loud noise? No.

Crap like this:

That IMO is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. Yes it's impressive from an engineering standpoint, but it's just bizarre to me.
