I am on my 2nd black Audi A 6 I have been pretty OCD for the last 41/2 years.
Why I got another black one is beyond me.
Guess nothing looks better when shiny.
By the time I go for the macan it will be sapphire blue,metallic mahogany or white.
Want to obsess but getting tired.
 
I have a rental Hyundai i30 for three days of business travel and I sat in it at a red light yesterday thinking, "I could buy 5 of these for the price I'm paying for my Macan S". It was a sobering thought.

Then the lights went green and I got embarrassed by a 10 year old Prius. Suddenly it didn't seem so bad to have spent the dosh on the Porsche.

:D
wife said to me today, "I'm over the economy car stage."

music to my ears. >:D
 
@gobobbie Don't ever even consider it! I got on a kick where I decided I needed better gas mileage, and bought a Hyundai Hybrid Sonata. It was the only vehicle I have ever leased. I kid you not, I broke the lease in less than a year, I hated it so much! Absolute crap from the beginning. Life is too short to drive garbage...

Now, having said that, the technology package had some amazing features. (When they worked). I know @grim will love to hear that...
Don't worry @RJMcInnis it was a very fleeting, sobering thought!
 
Heh, that's kinda funny. I've got a co-worker going through the same thing right now. He thought he wanted more utility and fuel economy than his R32. Bought a Subaru XV, hates it after 3-months. He is, at this moment, shopping for a new Q5, or other.

Once you're a car enthusiast, you can't go back to buying toasters.
@TripleZ @grim You need to stop dissing toasters. Mine has the pedigree to lust after and sit next to your cars in the garage... ;)

I love toasters. Mine has worked flawlessly for maybe 15 years and keeps on humming ... er, toasting. Cost next to nothing and zero maintenance. :laugh:
I love my Macan but every now and again I do enjoy getting into my wife's Toyota Highlander. It's big so I can see everything well, the steering is light, it has some grunt when you need it, it will 'actually' go off road and my kids can play games or watch DVD's on the built in system, 'toasters' work well.

I'm getting rid of our Highlander to jump into the Macan. I'm tired of the uncommunicative steering, the lumbering handling and the innocuous styling. I will miss the size and the visibility that it affords though!

Hmm, I paid about $12 for my toaster, a Walmart special ;)
 
Arrgghhh... Where I am in Florida, every day (no exaggeration) the chances of rain are between 50% - 100%. I give up. I barely have time to wash it before the next rain. I guess I have to wait a few months for the next weather pattern and just live with the dirt!

This thread is discussing Money's washing technique. He's from FL.
 
Im from FL as well, when I got my Macan I made sure to strip it down, clay it, seal it, and put a good coat of wax on. When it rains every day the water beads right off. Then on the weekends I do a quick wash to get all the dirt off so that when it does rain again there are no spots or large amounts of dirt left and the car looks pretty good.
 
Wow, that's an awesome video and wash job. Nice blow job too. ;)

I've been in need of a good garden hose and reel. Just built one on that site. A mere $350. Couldn't get myself to pull the trigger just yet but probably will shortly.
