Default a6 avant beater for Lowes and Home Depot - Q7 for the Sierras

family and mom and dad... A8L is the daily driver to-from-work... Can't seem to drive anything else... Unless financial condition changes for the worse, must adapt, until then... happy Audiing ...

Cheers,

Louis

How it compares to the A8 is in NOTHING! This is pure raw unfiltered unrefined entertainment.

Very cool

B5 has just become the daily driver after parting with my Jeep - I miss the manual!!
D3 is mostly for trips.
B8 Avant Is a non-winter car for now. It actually is to replace the Cherokee, but I don't wan't subject it to salt yet. It grew up in Florida and is really low mileage, so I want to keep it nice as long as possible.
TC29D New Holland - I drive it around the yard a lot. Grass cutting, landscaping, etc. Tractor buckets have to be one of the greatest inventions / tools ever. They're right up there with Quattro.

The shop owner drives a 2002 because Bob Marley drove one. I think it is a good vehicle for a mechanic.

Had to look up the TVR. That's a sweet ride! I've never seen one on the road before.

Default '69 Camaro

I have a 1969 Camaro SS 350 that I drive to the gas station and back every now and then. My wife drives our '04 Expedition, which is holding up well. It's rather boat friendly.

I had a 2007 Saab 9-3 Aero SportCombi before the S8.I loved it.It has never been in a shop except for a lock issue long time ago when it was almost new.The V6 turbo in that car is fantastic.The most reliable car I had.I wish I could keep it.My wife drives a 2011 Lincoln MKX , but I have to disagree with regards to that Ford Touch(Lincoln Touch)NAV/Entertainment unit built by Microsoft.When is it the last time you've seen a Microsoft product that works well?That system is the number one complaint about that car and the new model has moved away from it I read.(apparently Blackberry is going to provide the interface).Even though the one in the Audi is not a touch screen I find it much nicer.Amazing, I can even make voice calls with it which can be frustrating with the Ford.I used the record feature which is a very smart way of doing things in the Audi.
The Lincoln is a great car and very smooth,no complaints.Plenty of power too but the Audi has those intangibles.Once you've owned a German car sooner or later you have to do it again.Here I am again after a break of 5 years.
