Summer... this. Small accident just before winter. Crushed A-pillar was a mortal wound, insurance would not fix. Sad way for a warrior to go out.
Winter just a GMC Denali.

My GTR is in fact of my DDs along with Macan Turbo, 991 GTS cab and an M2. Mood and weather dictates which one I take. My weekend cars are 964 RS, 997 GT3 RS and 991.2 GT3.

Since I have just the puny GT, it is my daily driver. I also have an M4 when I need to carry more passengers, dogs and/or luggage.

Cool wagon man.
So a BImmer dealer is going to order options on an Alpina B7 that I picked with no obligation. I Like big bruisers with HP for highway, but Vic’s Audi is growing on me.
crazy that I can’t get around smallish steering wheel of Audi.

Extremely helpful thread. In process of trying to figure out my next DD.
Lease on my S550 comes up next January. Trying to decide between E53 & E63 sedans, and E63 wagon.
For those who have the E63s, how are they for long distance highway driving. Awesome cars, but I'm worried about how I would feel after 5-10 hours behind the wheel.

My AMG GT is my daily but I just got an Audi SQ5. I've got a new case that's going to require me to drive from Malibu to Anaheim 2-3 times a week for depositions for the next 12-18 months and I didn't want to get pounded in the GT.

Since my daily commute is 4 minutes each way, my amg gt is my daily. At least it is more forgiving, more comfortable, and way easier to drive (automatic), than the 3 Vipers I had, that were also daily drivers.

Nice to see you back. Why did you sell the GTR? I know it's none of my business - just being nosey. My guess. Lots of incoming and you like daily driving the E63S better than the GTR.

In Braselton as we speak for four days of Advanced and Pro courses.

Since taking my GTR in for service and warranty. I was given a GLA a couple of times for a loaner. I really fell in love with the size and practicality among other things. I flew out to FJ in Newport and picked this up over the weekend. Once I saw and drove a GLA 45 - I was sold. Loving it so far. Loaded with almost every conceivable option. I'm really enjoying this 2.0 litre AMG engine. It's a fast little car. Some have described it like a "slingshot" when the boost comes on and because of the way it's geared. It's quick - however I'm spoiled on that GTR acceleration. Nevertheless - this car is still awesome.
