Its my turn to shit on this thread.
The A4 is going to a new home, the check arrives today and the truck arrives tomorrow. I'm going to cash the check and go to the VW dealer and test drive new alltracks this weekend. Will be surprised if I dont end up in one of those.
I'm also considering moving on the BMW. I know I've had it 6 months but, revolve that door motherfuckers. We only need 1 car right now (wife either takes metro into DC or works at home), just bought a scooter (Vespa 50) which is great now but aint gonna get used come January, and thinking about either moving to a larger house or out of the area (shut up, Chris). I financed the car so that would free up $500/mo in the short term (purchase, insurance, taxes) and I can get out of the car close enough to what I'm in on it. The next house will have a garage, and freeing up some money makes that a little easier.
That said, having a 2nd car is a really nice convenience. But it would need to be cheap, and fun to drive. Wouldnt need it for road trips and wouldnt need to haul more than 2 people but wouldnt restrict it to that, either. I guess the answer is another Miata, but I have germancaritis and a soft spot for old hondas. So there you go, tell me what ridiculous thing I should buy.
