Sweet, you should still have my cell, if not PM me and I'll send it to you, you can come hang out here if you want, just be me, the bro-in-law and animals. Once the snow piles up a little we're going to head out and have some fun and take some vids/pics.
Also, would you be interested in helping me and Brian (that's my bro in law) install my boost gauge/uego when it comes in? I will provide food/beverages of your choice!

My used car manager found it for me online through his used car connection, and called to talk to the guy who had it at his dealership. Dealer is in Minnesota. I found one for sale in MN on Autotrader, but can not confirm if it is the same car. I think it is, and that is where I referenced the pic from. I should be getting more info this morning if the guy sends the email that he said he would.
My adgenda is simple. Get a nicer car that also has great performance.
Being a single dad, and having her fulltime, leaves me almost zero time for anything now. Especially working on the Evo and doing the things I want to it. I just don't have the time. I still haven't even put in my new struts and springs...how many months have gone by??? I pretty much have Sam everytime I drive, minus my trip into work. And that is in the city. So even spirited driving doesn't happen anymore
I love owning my Evo. And would hate to part with it. But while it is still worth something, I am torn between selling it for the value that it holds. And apply that to a car I normally would not purchase, like the RS4 (or S4). I want AWD, and still want a (relatively) fast car. But also a car that will not tempt me to constantly be wanting to upgrade parts and mod. We'll see. I am just kicking tires right now.
I had a 50" plasma, and when she moved out I replaced it with the same only in 42". In my living room, the 42" has a much better viewing pleasure IMO. But, my next purchase when the time comes will be an LCD. My parents living room is 20' X 24' with really high ceilings, and my dads 50" works out perfect (imo) for his room.

And Tim, apparently I am living in a cave, as I had no idea about your current situation
I am sorry to hear this and hope you are doing well!

Tim, if you can get it, then it sounds like an RS4 (or S4) would be a great car for you. They are NA (well since they switched over to the 4.2) and so you would be less likely to mod it (or want to for that matter). Plus they have a great balance between sport & luxury (IMHO) and look great. I would look into a 335xi as well, although you may be more tempted with the mod bug with that one. Also, the new Acura TL just came out, and now has SH-AWD. It is less of a sports car though. Then there is the CTS, which has AWD available as well. And finally, the new G37x should be a very sweet car as well. They are also very highly rated

Tim, I think the RS4 is a great, sophisticated, decently powered, awd 4 door that will probably fit your needs.....not sure if they are prone to audi electrical glitches and other misc. stuff, like other audi's...but I think it'd be a decent choice..
