2003 B6 Dolphin Gray Audi A4 1.8 Quattro (Fuel-saving beater)

Yes, I am on my 11th Audi, and hopefully will add a 12th by next year. I also own my late father's 1992 MB 190E Signature V6 which is in pristine condition and is one of my favorite MBs.

If you're curious you can see my S6 in my Avatar.

I was actually being sarcastic.

190e 2.6 was an inline 6

If you were being sarcastic then you were being inappropriate. What makes you special?

Lighten up people...it was an obvious sarcastic comment. Not at all inappropriate.

Nice stable of Audis btw viso.

I own as follows:

2007 BMW 335i 4 door
2007 Volkswagen Rabbit 2.5 4 door
1990 Toyota Celica GT-S All Trac
1971 Chevrolet Chevelle with a a four-barrel carburetter version of the 350 V8 but it is being restored at the moment so it is not ni running order.

Don't quite have all the high end vehicles I see people on here have, but i have test driven about everything under the sun!! Course I am still young and building my business so hopefully in the future....

I'm jealous of your Chevelle.

2008 BMW 335i Coupe

2005 Forester XT 5mt
1998 GTP

2008 Mercedes-Benz SLK280 Daily Driver
1973 Mercedes-Benz 280 /8 (69K orig mile showcar)

How ya likin' that SLK? I had a last gen 230k, loved it!

I like it a lot. I had a CLK previously and Im happy I went the sportier route with the SLK. Although its the base model it accelerates, handles, and brakes very well. Its enough to keep me happy.

I got the Mars Red Ext with the contrasting black and light beige Int. Appearance packg (wood steering wheel with wood accents throught, 17" twin spoke wheels, smoked headlights), and the Premium I pckg.

Theres something about that older SLK interior I miss! It was indeed flashier :)

I feel like such a pauper posting my rides:

2004 Ford Mustang V6 5spd BEAST!!!
2007 Toyota Camry V6 XLE

Future Lineup:
2003 Cobra SVT
New BMW 335xi coupe or Audi S5

2007 Mazdaspeed3 GT - True Red

2006 Bentley Arnage T
2007 Range Rover Supercharged
2008 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet
2009 Toyota Prius Touring (On Order)

My Current Lineup:

2003 Lexus SC430 (dark green)
2008 Pontiac G8 GT (ignition orange metallic)
(Just traded my '07 Impala SS for the G8)

How do you like the G8? I haven't gotten around to test driving one.

The G8 is fantastic. Everything i thought it would be. My only complaint is that the exhaust is too quiet. Also, the seat recline adjuster is some funky rotating knob that's difficult to reach.

I assumed that the V8 would be a rumbling, basso profundo monster. Instead it's luxury car quiet. I'll need to apply some aftermarket pipes to get what i'm looking for.

The G8 is light-years ahead of the Impala SS, but the SS has it beat hands-down on exhaust note. The SS grunts and rumbles like the G8 ought to.

The G8 needs an aftermarket sound system as well. It's Blaupunkt, but it's not very loud. The Mark Levinson system in the Lex coupe is much better.

(I like loud. I lust for big power and the sounds that accompany it - be it horsepower or music)

I rank a quality sound system right up there with the hp figures. I listen to a lot of crazy crap like Crazytown and ICP. A little bass is nice, but you have to have some harmony with the mids and highs.

What about the 6 speed auto? I haven't read any reviews that really rank it. Is it anywhere near VW's DSG?

And the G8 comes from the city I grew up in - which has only 1 million people and is one of the most boring western cities in the world - Adelaide, South Australia.

2003 Nissan Maxima GLE
2007 Toyota Camry XLE V6

Keep your eyes peeled on you 2007 Camry V6 XLE. I have the same exact model. My wife and I had a major issue with an exhaust valve malfunctioning and choking out the engine.

You'll know when it happens because all of your dash lights will come on, and the motor will start to "lurch". 3 dealer visits,a week in the shop on the 3rd, and a $1,400 repair under warranty within the first 3 months of ownership.

2003 Infiniti FX45 (Brilliant Silver, ECU and more upgrades)
2003 Infiniti G35 Coupe (Caribbean Blue)

Been reading the site for a few weeks (very addictive) and thought I would register and post my first comment.

I think I must have spent too much money on my house then my cars when reading what everyone else owns.

2008 VW Jetta Wolfsburg (in order to get 2.0 turbo)
2008 Ford Fusion

I just bought the VW a couple of weeks ago. I traded in my 2003 325ci. As much as people love them - it was one of the worst cars I ever owned. I spent more money fixing it then I did making my monthly payments. Not saying that is representative of the car - just my miserable experience. Wife got rid of her 2003 Mazda MPV for the Fusion. Just needed something with decent gas mileage compared to a big van.

2006 E320 CDI

1983 R100RT (60th Anniversary edition)

2006 Nissan Armada SE 4x4
2004 BMW 745Li

Currently looking at a 2007 Audi A8L

My Current Lineup:
Wife= 2007 lexus ES350
Mine= 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora 3.5
1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
1992 Infiniti Q45t (First Love)
1989 Subaru Loyal wagon AWD (First car and Homedepot machine..)

Future cars next February: 2009Ford Flex (time to get rid of the intrigue and give it to a family member in need)2007 A8 (time for more lux that's up to date)Bye bye Aurora, same as the other Olds. I really tried to keep them in business. Just couldn't buy enough of them. With the exception of my wife's ride we don't believe in buying new cars. We rather have a nice home and take vacations. Works for me I suppose. My Subbie has over 350 thousand miles on it and I will only get rid of it when it dies and I cant resuscitate it.

Just in case you are wondering I should be able to find the Flex used by Christmas so no new car just let someone else that the first hit.

I wouldn't buy new either - what a waste of money. Things like S classes or whatever, they lose like hundreds of pounds a week, you may as well just stand over a drain. And especially since (In Britain) 17.5% of the price of a car is tax it's just stupid to buy new. Buy like 3 years old, it's lost most of the money by then, but still feels like a relatively 'new' car.

I wanna buy your suby. I'm in need of one and as far as used cars go, I'm only considering subarus with a stickshift and enough room so it can swallow stuff.

*I wanna buy your suby :)

2006 Infiniti M35 Sport - one of the best cars I've owned, just crappy gas mileage (but love the gadgets)
2006 Lexus GX 470 - the fam mover
2001 BMW 330Ci Convertible - still fun to drive and w/o that clunky i-drive

Would love to get new M3 Convert

DogLb
My cousin had the E46 M3 Convertible and the amount he was spending on gas/petrol every week was ridiculous. So with the E93 coming out, he got a 335i with the M pack. I've compared them, and the 335i M does much better and still gives you good performance.

I'm motor1's cousin - it's totally true. I love the new 335i M and there is not a day when I miss the M3 convertible. with the extra money saved from fuel, I bought a Sony home theatre system and a blu-ray player.

thanks for the recomendation. I'd actually been looking at a 335 Convert. after one of my buddies got the 2008 Coupe. He had tradedin his '03 M3 and he said it felt as fast if not faster. I'm sure the new V8 is amazing, but as you noted, gas prices are deplorable.
May have to hold out until the '09 now as the updates look good.

2008 BMW M6 - black/black
2007 BMW X5 4.8i - black/black
2007 Mercedes-Benz S500 - black/beige, AMG - favourite
2007 Lexus LS460 L - black/black

(And when I'm in USA for work)
2005 Range Rover Supercharged - black/beige
2006 Lexus RX 400h - grey/beige

Possible Future cars
BMW X6 xDrive 35i - to probably replace X5
F01/F02 735d - to replace S500

Who the hell deboosts people for saying what the cars are? Wanker.

dude we got some sad folks up in this room.What are they deboosting anyway, my taste in cars or for telling the truth about what I own, which half these bastards dont. So what if I dont buy new who gives a S#$# its my life and money..

People that deboost all the time are jealous, plain and simple.

While I may seem to always buy new, I'd buy a used car if it was good - I bought a 2000 M5 in 2004 because I loved the E39.

I wouldn't be surprised if it were Lexus fanboys such as MichealTaylor doing the deboosting.
Most of the Lexus camp has yet to post their rides.

motor1,

what kind of work do you do to be able to afford all of those nice cars? i'm impressed.

I'm a private property developer but I also employ many people across Europe and the USA, but still privately. The reason I can probably afford those cars (besides the career) is also because I often buy used/demo models and I'm not fussed on mileage because in a few years time I'll probably sell it anyway.

Also I lease all the cars I have in the US and I also leased the M6 and the LS and at the dealers I get them from they normally give me a very good discount or give me the best spec. model they can find.

I often wonder whether he has shares in the cayman islands (joking)

i'm also selling the m6 as I never use it - all it does is sit in my garage collecting dust

2001 VW Lupo 1.4 S

That's it. But it is my first car and gas is 8 dollars per gallon where I live so I think I'm doing pretty well.

Im sorry, I didnt understand your last comment at all.

Why not save money and have your parents buy a C350, GLK (yes i know), or a Q5? With the extra money, you could lease/buy a Camry-hybrid! That would be a great car combo!

Apparently I'm one of the poorest people on this board, according to this list.
