This is perfect.

A matter of preference, my friend! I'd be happy, of course, with the CSL. It just seems much less "affordable" and too special to consider driving around regularly. I aimed for a speck of realism here. Maybe if I moved to a house with space for a car collection...

Do it! And take pictures, write a post, etc...

I extra-recommend this post. Great choices.

So many cars, but on this particular morning I'm going to say BMW 2002 with an Audi Quattro runner-up.

Do you miss the sound of a "real" engine, or do you get used to the electric whine after a while?

Neutral: I really want an A4. I want that Quattro.

No problem. I'm glad you think my car is a soon-to-be classic. It's probably worth more to me than anyone, though. I wish it was a little more reliable, but I like the feel of cars 1995 and earlier. Less stuff getting in the way of the experience. However, I commute in traffic for at least an hour a day, so the idea…

I think FWD hatchbacks are really fun, so I'm definitely in the ST camp. It's not RWD, though, so I wouldn't want to "hoon" in it, I think.

I may have quickly typed this post and not included much clarification... That's what I get for thinking out loud.

For hooning? The Toyota. But I actually want a Fiesta ST. Not that I'm looking to buy a new car. I can hoon in my M3 if I want to. Without all the payments and spendy insurance.

Gotcha. California's asshole population is a little bit different than ours up here. I do remember more Audi jerks down there.

@consistently Where do you live? I definitely see less assholes in A4s (and even S4s) in the Northwest corner of the USA.

Yes, it's unfortunate. I think anything newer than an E30 or anything modified makes you look like more of an asshole as well. And a fair majority of those drivers are. Especially just east of Seattle.

I first fooled around in a late 90s Suburban. Plenty of room in there.

Sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing, my favorite part was your accommodations. Now that I know that's an option, I might make it to Monaco after all. Someday.

This.

I'm with Hooner on that one. Though my favorite is still the early 90s body style.

Also, I drive a 1982 Toyota Tercel SR5. Where should this go on the cool wall? (Question open to all)

Ben, thanks so much for joining us. I revere you as a driving hero of mine. I can't think of any good questions, so I will just add some noise:
