Default MY SABLE LOANER RULES :-)

From it's mis-aligned steering, AWESOME TORQUE STEER, seats that rival the best lounge chair, .76 grip, noisy engine, boring interior, akward seating position, dented hubcaps, etc....this car will fit my needs perfectly...when I hit 70 :-)

Boy, and I thought driving my moms cutlass supreme was fun :-)

Default I have an A6 Avant today....

The tip is fun, not as much as manual, but definately fun.

My wife liked it too, she currently has a Rodeo SUV - 1 1/2 years left on that lease.
(Maybe an Avant in my future!)

Default It never ceases to amaze.

What some companies manufacture.

My last rental was a Lumina. Holy Freakin **** Batman. What a terrible car. In every respect. But the seats have to be the worst. After 20 minutes my back was screaming.

I pulled up next to a Lumina on this mornings commute. And all I could think was 'poor bastard'. The cost of a Lumina should include insurance payments for the traction you'll be in wlater in life.

Default Heck, I'm just glad to have a "loaner"...Cherry Hill imports will not give you one UNLESS

the car you have is new. And the dealership I went to had a major "run" on all of their loaners, so, they went to enterprize and rented me a "nimitz".

As long as my car is ready by next saturday, I will not complain...much :-)

Default My 82 year old Dad just bought one. He's such a sucker...

It's a used car (2001) and they hit him up for undercoating and teflon paint protection!! I ought to call the Mercury dealer and threaten to sue them for taking advantage of the elderly.

Default A4 seats are terrible also. Not much better than my previous Civic.

I don't know about the sports seat, but I'm not supported more than I was in the 97 Civic. In comparison, my gf. early 90s Celica has much better supporting seats.
