    Haha...well the TT is still a pretty great car. Though had I picked up the TT 3.2L, I'd now be wishing I'd waited for the TT-S. It's funny when I think back about the spy photos of the A5. Audi had minimal camo on them, but they'd obviously put it in all the right places because I remember thinking "hum...doesn't look that great?" Fast forward to the day I picked mine up...and it was totally surreal. I walked in the door and kinda scanned the whole place to see where my salesman was at. Saw this red car sitting off to the left and it didn't even register for a minute that it was mine. Then something along the lines of "holy $h!...thats mine" slipped through my head. Couldn't stop grinning like an idiot for at least 5 mins. Or at least until I wrote the check for the down payment. Hell I was smiling even then. I drove out of there wondering how it was possible a car like this was mine...almost felt like I got away with something.

    I didn't really mean there was anything wrong about it. Heh, maybe a bit of broken-record-itis? :-p Thank ya. To think I almost ordered a TT!

    Hmph...we don't really have any settings like this in Metro Detroit to shoot a car in. It is awfully surreal sometimes.

    Thank ya. Just for the week. It's a press car.

    Somewhat. You just seem to be repeating the "Not my cup of tea" thing a lot lately. Certainly a lot on anything modern. Pity about the color on this particular CC. Possibly the worst color in the lineup.

    Haha...color me not surprised.

    Yea the inside is quite a nice place to be.

    Not the best color really. Looks much better in the "Deep Black."
  9. Seems baseless so far.
  10. Hmm...not really the story I heard about why he left. As for the other part....I'll ask the guys I know there.
  11. LoL... Coughadiddle? I want that added to the Merriam Webster Dictionary immediately.

    On Saturday, May 23 at 3:50 in the afternoon, one "Coricullus Wolfearus" did in fact find his savior. ...inside the abandoned Packard Plant in downtown Detroit of all places. Who knew? He's quite thrilled as you can see. (Though not nearly as thrilled as he'll be when he gets home in 3-4 hours and sees this thread)

    Haha no argument there...I've seen several leaving Milford the last few weeks. It does not get any prettier in person.

    Mmm...but not as expensive as your new companies' AMC Eagle SX4!

    Thanks. Lessons...not really. I was a photojournalism major in college so most of my classes were towards the visual end of things. That said I did have some journalism (word, not visual) classes. Those were more/less about news reporting though. Writing about cars is a different animal. If anything, it's OpEd writing.

    Thanks. I imagine the 6 speed in "Sport" guise, as opposed to Touring, would be a better experience. Though what would really help is a little less weight hanging off the front end.
  20. Chris_Doane replied to Chris_Doane's post in a topic in Nissan
    Hah...out of curiosity....how did I do that?
  21. Oasis is better than The Beatles.
