cars

I know I don't need a new car.  Well, I actually may, as Emily has just gotten a job out of town leaving me with the Explorer only begining mid August.  But even if I do get a newer car, I should sell the Explorer, probably get around $1k in this market, and buy a used vanilla Civic, or something of that nature.  Maybe even, god forbid, a Korean car.

But I really really want something like one or these;

2005 S4 AVANT QUATTRO,4.2L V8,LOADED, 68k miles, 0-60 in less than 6 seconds, over $50k when new

or

2005 Volvo V70R, 30k miles, over $40k new

I think eventually we'll end up with one car, once we're back in the same city, and a wagon would give us the flexibility to move dogs and stuff around.  These happen to be performance versions of the their respective platforms, which would actually make them fun to drive.  Nothing would please me more than to pick up an M3 which had gone through it's huge depreciation, but I'm not anywhere near making enough $ to afford one of those, and I'm including higher insurance and tickets in the TCO.

I think I could get myself in enough trouble with a hot wagon, and still be able to do whatever needed doing.  But, alas, not enough dollars, at least not yet.  Plus, there is the matter of the $32k I owe Bank of America to consider.

I really really want a new car.  That Audi has 420hp, plus quattro to put it all on the road.  The Volvo has a supercharged inline 5 with over 300hp, and AWD also. 

I really really want a new car.
