Default My Other Ride...and the 911 of Course!

Figured I'd take a couple pics after washing the Audi (AKA the Daddy Wagon). Gotta love pics of two clean cars.

Both good looking rides. Before my current 996, I was an Audi owner of an A4 and a TT .

Is that a b5 S4 Estate?

The more I see them, the more I really like the speed yellow 996's, well played on your car choices.

I love speed yellow. Still wondering if I should have gotten it.

My "daily driver" though it doesn't get driven a lot. I used to think of it as a fast car. It's a 2007 M45. Great car but not quite the same as my "weekend car" that I drive every day.

No, that is a B6 A4 Avant with the Ultrasport package.

The M3 is huge. It's a surprisingly big car.... handles like a smaller car and screams like a pig. Mine is MT, but I've driven the DCTs in the M3 and the M5 and both are amazing cars to drive.

I drove the 1M in MT and agree it's an awesome car - if I don't have kids I would trade my M3 in a heartbeat - the 1M is not as fast in a straight line, but is glued into corners like nothing I've ever drive - amazing car.

For those that enjoy Autobahn cruisers, here is my Audi S8, my wife's S8 and our dog's D2.

Here is my other ride and DD, a 2010 VW Touareg TDI.... traded my 2004 Cayenne Turbo for it when the coolant pipes gave out. Love the TDI Touareg though!

Good call! Just a USP front end though (DIY), with S4 door blades. Really updated the look.

Loving all the "other cars." Keep the pics coming!

Here is the other toy (and to continue with the yellow theme)...



And in the past...







And the one that started it all...
