Good point. I should have expanded the poll options. Even though I've changed my mind, I'm going to leave the poll up to see what kind of answers we get.

Update: I borrowed the A6 last night. Disappointing. I'm not surprised though, honestly. I was going to borrow it for the entire day, today, to really get a feel for it, but after about 3 miles I already knew that it wasn't going to work out between us, so I took it back. I think that the...

As I ponder a new DD to take the load off of the BW, I also consider just selling the BW as it is an expensive car to keep as a "spare" and I do have limited storage space. I hate to see it go, but life must continue. I proposed it to BaT, and they want a 80K reserve. I think that's low, I...

Right? And I'll never forget the first time, she was crying, "oh, my poor car!" And all I could think to say was, "oh, my poor house!". The second time was no more than a week or two after we bought her Porsche Macan S. I said something incredibly sensitive like "do you not use the fucking...

I've had 5 Corvettes. Women are not attracted to them, but men are. If that's your boat, then you'll do well. If you want wimmen, get something cute like a Miata.

Yeah, the garage is tall enough, I believe (14 ft.?) but it's going to be a real challenge parking a car in-between those posts. And then getting the car out. We have a side-load garage, so it requires a sharp turn (or turns) to get cars in and out. The wife has hit the house twice. I now...

You guys have some great ideas, but I think you're missing my two primary desires here... the CT5 is a high bar, but I want something even more comfortable but especially more quiet. I'm leaning towards keeping the BW along with getting the audi... BTW my other cars (wife's) is a macan S and...

Hmmm. Had not thought of that, the LC is gorgeous albeit expensive, and I didn't know that they still made the IS500, which is in the good price ballpark, but I'm worried may be as dull to drive as the IS350 is, and there are none anywhere near me to try. I think I mentioned above, I can get a...

It wouldn't be the first time... ;) Supra is gone, the market is strong with that one, and I got out of it rather painlessly. I did take it the track, had a bad spin, toasted the tires and had a come to Jesus moment as I was spinning, thinking to myself, maybe I shouldn't be doing this in a...

Well, that didn't last long. It's black on black, 6-spd, 9500 miles... PM if interested I guess you missed the part about wanting a comfortable quiet ride. I wish I could. HOA.

Apologies in advance for what will likely be a long and rambling post. I think I know what most of you will suggest, but I'm interested to hear all opinions. I've had the CT5-V BW for 19 months now. It's been basically problem-free, never seen the inside of the service department. I do my...

Still looking?

How about a black one? ;) Not sure how you wrote your request, you do or do not want a manual?

I DD mine. My commute changed from 3 days a week, 14 miles each way, to 5 days, 35 miles each way. I debated using it for that, but aside from the gas mileage it is an awesome daily. No serious snow here to worry about.

I concur.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I don't mind spending a bit extra (I'm worth it) but enjoy saving money when I can. I'll look into the contis.

How about the Hankook Ventus V12 (summer) tires, has anyone tried them? They come in the correct size and are about $500 (set) cheaper than the Michelins. At 9000 miles, my tires are getting a bit too thin, and I'm hoping for something quieter. I'd prefer AS, but it doesn't get that cold...

If you think that's bad, don't go shopping for a Porsche.

I've had the yoko advan summer tires (I'm not sure what the Evo variant is) and they were quite good. On other cars, natch.

You should put in links to your work so that we can buy and leave you five stars... I retired after 40+ years in I/T not because I wanted to retire but because I just couldn't deal with the corporate b.s. any longer. My wife says that I am much nicer to her now and don't appear nearly as...
