Man that was quite a long Japanese kick you were on there, can't say I've ever owned one. Had more than a few Japanese motorcycles though before getting into Euro bikes. Good to see you're into a proper German car now!

I was mostly into American cars until I bought my first BMW. Three more Audis and BMWs since then. Can't see myself ever going back to domestic, except maybe for a track-only car.

1973 Chevy Nova (paid $600 and came complete with little old lady's hand crocheted seat covers, no lie)
1991 Jeep Wrangler
1995 Mustang (base model, couldn't stretch the payments for the GT)
1998 Jetta GLS
2001 Nissan Maxima (x2, one a manual and one an auto bought when commute took me into NYC every day)
2004 Audi S4 Cab
2004 Audi A4 3.0 6psd
2009 Nissan Maxima
2007 Audi RS4

Yes, there was a pattern there for last few :-) S4 was great but kids weren't fitting so good. Picked up A4 for a decent deal and it was nice but dumped it when it needed the belt overhaul at 80K ($2500 or risk engine failure). Went back to Maxima for new body style as I hated the half dome look of the mid 2000s. The engine in those cars is very sweet and completely issue free up to 100K+ but CVT and squiqqly suspension/steering above 95 mph hold it back from being a true value leader performance sedan if you stay away from the higher trim levels (paid $23,500 brand new for 305hp). Boredom set in and I strolled back to Audi expecting to get a CPO S5 and saw the RS4 pulling back in from driving the S5. Two traffic lights later I was asking where to sign!

Yeah, I went a little crazy there for a while...

Ich bin froh, einen Deutsch auto endlich haben.
Danke.

Wow, except for the Porsches, a consistent VAG lover... German all the way!

Hey Stong, which is your favourite (other than the RS4)?
