Can't do it, this BS is NO longer FS

It's not b/c of all the attention it got today at Euro Auto Festival at the BMW plant...... Simply put it's b/c this car is one bad *** machine. I hadn't driven it in almost a month and today I drove it ~200 miles and fell in love with it all over again! So, at least for now I've decided (wife agrees ) I can't part with it.....

Couple pics from the day:

The Cayenne has been sold and tomorrow it starts its journey to Europe. The Cayenne is the one that is most easily replaced.

I just wanted to add that I, too, am happy to hear that you have reconsidered the sale of your car. You were so enthusiastic about it when you first got it, and then I was shocked when I saw the car listed. At first, I thought someone might have "borrowed" one of your photos.

I just couldn't figure it out. I know that I wouldn't want to part with mine. Glad you did the right thing . . . namely driving it!

It's always good to re-experience the reason why you were so captivated in the first place, isn't it? They are wonderful cars for people who really enjoy driving.

Right you are! This car is so special and what a blast to drive! Almost every car can be replaced but that is not necessarily true for this one given its limited availability. Sure, right now there are a few out there but a year from now it will be impossible to find one let alone find one in the condition mine will be in....
