    Default So much for the whole "no more German cars" plan...

    It followed me home. Can I keep it?

    but that one doesn't have Lucas, I mean VW electrons. You should be OK keeping it.

    Is that Ken O's old fender on there?

    The Civic departed (involuntarily) in '07 following a run-in with an uninsured F150 (but my insurance carrier took good care of me).

    The VW left a few months later when we decided the truck could do highway duty for a while and we'd have an extra toy car in the garage...

    The RX-8 left in March after I decided that 2 toy cars, 1 toy bike and 1 3/4 ton truck were not the best mix... I've been searching for the VW replacement for a *while*... This one showed up at a very convenient time... '07, 16k miles...

    I don't think he would have accepted a fender off an '07...

    Really nice. There is a red one in my work's parking lot, and I've always thought that the 3 series station wagon was much nicer than the X3. And I actually like the X3...

    Nice track car. You could fit 2 sets of tires. What is your first mod? ASTs?
    M3 is always the answer.

    Methinks an M3 Wagon would pretty much be the perfect vehicle for 99% of your automotive needs...

    M5 touring.... http://www.caranddriver.com/features...touring_page_4

    I wish the CTS-V wagon wasn't hit with the ugly stick... Wife hates wagons though. I like them personally.

    And I'm sure we'll see one of those for sale in the US in my lifetime. Not. Then again, never expected to see Audi sell the RS4 wagon here either... Too many damn minivans and SUVs! My new wagon may weigh in at a porcine 3500 pounds, but it doesn't make you aware of it every time you turn the steering wheel...

    That was one fine sounding automobile. At least it sure did when you blew by me on the way up to BBQ!

    I actually wrote a paper in college about how they should make the M3 and M5 in wagon form and then they announced it a few years later. Cool car, would definitely be a good alternative to a SUV.
