Funny this thread was revived, since I've been thinking about this some more lately. I think I'm going to give the Mini Coopers another try; hopefully I just drove some duds the first time around.
Also, just as I got home (5 mins before I plopped on here), my brother called me to tell me he's thinking of selling his S4. 2006, 4.2 V8, 52k miles, Florida car, 6 speed, quattro, navigation, bluetooth, carbon fiber interior trim, recaro's, bi-xenon, and optional yellow paint. Basically, every option Audi offered (even some RS4 options). Purchased and serviced from/at The Collection in Miami, which is pretty much THE premier dealer for Audi/Ferrari/Porsche/Lotus/Lambourghini/Aston Martin in Miami. I'm debating it, but I really shouldn't be spending that kind of money. What I'm really saving up for is my Viper. Would be funny though, to own two cars that are direct competitors with very similar specs and features.

Ruben, that thing is freaking awesome.
Something else I'm looking at, is a 2002 Audi TT Quattro 225 Coupe. 122k miles (bleh), but only $8k. And since I'm basically looking for a "nice" beater, I'm wondering if any of you have any experiences? As you can tell, I really don't wanna spend much money for a second car. My commute is 80 miles per day to work, and I just hate putting so many miles on the AMG. I just don't want to feel so crappy when hopping into the beater, if not I'll never drive it and keep driving the AMG.
