PPSS ---- ditch the radar detector and have a stealth Laser shifter put in. It's saved my butt half a dozen times already. It has front and rear shifters.... totally hidden... always on.

I found my 996 Turbo --even heavily modded to 700 crank hp -- to be fairly "unexciting" compared to these muscle cars of ours. It only really stimulated me at 130+ mph...

Same way I feel about the S63... as powerful as it is... it's crap compared to driving my Nomad. I'm dead serious.

I believe it. Those Germans pretty much make the cars TOO effortless and smooth.

Their build quality is just fantastic though. Gotta give em that.

After having two BMW's, I think Audi has it figured out. I found my 550 Sport to be almost numb. When I autocrossed it, I couldn't feel the rear tires spinning or the front tires pushing. Horrible sports car.

My S4 is just right. Comfortable, but not numb. You feel more engaged, much like the Camaro.

This thing has a launch mode that is like a carnival ride. Activate launch mode, step on brakes, floor it, release brakes and you have a traction controlled 530 hp all wheel drive launch. Runs 10.70's -10.90's in the 1/4.

Lemon tree very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet, but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat... Lemon tree very pretty, and lemon flower is sweet, but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat...


One day beneath the lemon tree,
My love and I did lie.
A girl so sweet that when she smiled,
The stars rose in the sky.
We passed that summer lost in love,
Beneath the lemon tree.
The music of her laughter,
Hid my father's words from me.





Try getting the words of that song out of your head now for the rest of the day.
