Daily sports car?

Downtown Kingston today. Turbos loving 13C air. Hope everyone got out either in their sporty car or on their bike. I spotted a couple of friends today on their ADV bikes, South Frontenac Cruisers having their BBQ just a few houses down from me tomorrow.

While not nearly as fun as your car, damp roads and cool temps made four wheel power slides possible for me today. Fun run out to creemore.

Every time I see pics of your car I love it! This is attainable with time. Just gotta sell a kid or two…

Do folks keep tend to keep these German performance machines for 7+ years?
Most of the German vehicles I see at car shows and driven by long time enthusiasts are older models that have been built up.
 
Oh sweet baby Jesus...how many kids do I need to sell for this?

What's the going rate on healthy young kids nowadays!? (I kid I kid....)
1) Move to New Tecumseth
2) Acquire similar sized house, paid off in full
3) Put down payment on M5 Touring Wagon
4) Ask for forgiveness from wife later
5)Profit??

The wealthy will lease and keep jumping, everyone else will buy used as by the 4 year mark they are typically worth about half (expiring warranty). Then you just suck up the repairs.

If you get lucky, buyer two gets four years relatively trouble free and sells to MP at 35K and eight years old. MP uses it as a toy not a dd so rock solid reliability is less important.

Shhhh...I'm already waiting for @Evoex to get bored of the C43...35k I could swing! Better than a stupid Maverick!
 
As for power, I find that nearly 700hp is a nice way to cruise through rural traffic with authority. I get people aggro about getting passed, though .. I find that strange.

Do you daily your car? And is it awd or rwd?


I just put stage 1 on the wagon, 400whp is plenty for a daily. Time for cosmetics now!
Do you have any speed shops you can recommend? or do you use canned/email tunes?
