I have sports car fever. Listed my A8 sport
I'm putting my 2007 A8 swb sport up for sale. It's great, but I'm ready for a 2 seater again. It is in exceptional condition and has Audi platinum warranty until 11/2015. If anyone is interested, please view my ad in the classifies. I still like it a lot and if it doesn't sell, I won't be disappointed 
ps. I still have my beloved 2002 S6. I'll keep that until the wheels fall off, then turn it into a lawn ornament

It's why I got rid of it after 5 years.
After 5 years, it got ordinary. My 928S4 was just as exciting after 12 years as when I bought it new. I really miss that car!

The beauty of the NSX
Some of the things I really liked about my NSX:
- It fit me like a glove when seated in the driver's seat. All the important controls were at my fingertips or within easy reach.
- The design was singular in its styling, i.e. it didn't look like body pieces were added as an afterthought (wheel flares, spoilers, ground effects, etc).
- It didn't have an excess of horsepower, but it did have just enough to get the car through the turns or cruise comfortably on the highway.
- The short throw and tightness of the shifter made it a dream to change gears.
- The engine sound was wonderful, especially at full throttle.
- Did I mention how well it handled in the turns?
- It wasn't a temperamental bitch like many exotics. Being made my Honda, it was rarely in the shop for repairs. My biggest repair was a window regulator, a common problem on Hondas.
- I always received positive comments on the car, from people of all ages and backgrounds.
Ultimately, I sold the NSX because I could only drive it half the year here in Michigan, whereas I can drive my A8 year round, with excellent performance in both winter and summer.

I didn't find it soul-less at all, although I would say it's character was quite subtle and took some time to fully appreciate (which is how I also feel about my A8).
