Thanks.

Just want to thank you guys for all the information and excitement you've shown towards these wonderful cars.

So, I bought my E63 about a week and a half ago...and it’s been sitting in my garage for 7 of those days. It’s only been out like twice, and I quickly put it back. The reason behind this is that I've yet to sell my 2004 Audi S4 and really feel guilty enjoying my new car when I haven't sold my old one. I'm not living beyond my means or anything but I was raised with a great appreciation for how fortunate I am as well as maintaining a heart for those that are less fortunate. That being said I'd say (and the fact that it’s the nicest car I've owned, my friends have owned, and anyone at my work own) that I really have had a hard time justifying the car as well as even enjoying it! It was a completely new feeling for me ...

Through reading how all of you have taken pleasure in these cars (I've especially gotten a kick out of reading Juicee63's posts) it has really helped keep my spirits high. I did about 6 months worth of research on the car prior to its purchase so it definitely wasn't a fluke... and during which I couldn't contain my excitement; however, after the fact my emotions dropped...

I may be criticized by expressing this but it’s just a part of who I am. Its because of you guys that my excitement and anticipation remains...and right now I can't wait to get home and go for a ride!!.... err f&&k its raining!!!

Truly... thank you

Yup!

Goat,

I know how you feel buddy. Cars have always been larger than life for me... Getting that first REALLY nice car was over and above getting my first girlfriend or anything else.

My first word was CAR... That's right, not Mommy or Daddy CAR, and I've had cars, (and motorcycles), on the brain ever since!

Enjoy your new baby, and above all DON'T feel guilty, you only live once, and you deserve it.

Best Of Luck!!!

This shows me a whole new level of LOVE! Its like you have a new girlfriend in the closet and still wanna get on top of the old one. Drive em both man, they can learn to live together. Give it to em, hard and fast , take em out , enjoy.

Your going to learn to love em both until its time , until its really time to let her go. looks like its not the right time.

As long as you enjoy it and your family is taken care of, you don't need to justify crap. Forget what you paid and just drive it. After a while, nothing else will do.

Get that stinkin Audi out of there!!
