I'll be sure to post some pictures when it finally comes in. I'll see if I can't get a friend to help and get a duo shot of the lambo as well. The yellow and the red should nicely contrast.
Oh my gawd! You have a Lambo too?! I hate you!!!

That'd be the Audi S4. And it shows too in this weather, being black and all.

Just went out for a nice drive in the Lambo. It may be cold as ****************, but at least it's relatively dry and clear. Looks like we're going to get lots of snow next week . Chicago doesn't make it easy on us car fans, does it now.

A garage consisting solely of two-seaters is not all that useful. At least not if you ever have to drive family or friends. And despite how roomy the Porsche is for luggage compared to others in its class, it's still pretty pathetic compared to a sedan . Finally, with real-wheel drive, you better hope that you never have to get out in heavy snow. A little too much wishful thinking in Chicago.

Wow, that's awesome.


I am a business owner as well. Working hard, and working on some great projects


Hopefully soon, w/ hard work, I will be in your shoes.



So what's the maintenance cost on **************** like that?



Oh yeah, what is your "family car"? Definitely should grab an m5

My Boxster hasn't left the garage in 2 weeks

Weren't you worried about salt getting on your Lambo ?

Don't know where you were, but there was a ton of salt on the roads yesterday in the Northwest suburbs...

Congrats on the new purchase, and enjoy !

Nick
