Nice pick up! I know you'll enjoy that beauty

 

beauty car.. congrats

 

nice choice but soft top is big No for me, dont like the look of softtop up. anyway nnjoy the car

 

I didn't realize those are so expensive. wow.

 

HAW!

Only take it in the best way - you know that!

I am a big fan of this new beauty too -->

 

Sweet looking car, but RWD. You know I love the AWD

Actually ended up choosing the R8 because you don't see them everyday by me (actually almost never). 911s are all over the place and a Turbo looks like a 4S, which looks like a GTS... 2 neighbors already have a GTS and an S, so wanted something different. No arguing it on purely performance though.

 

Wow, these are only $175,000 used. That's 5X what I paid for my 2010 G37 S. Does it have 5X the fun factor?

 

Congrats, that's a fine looking automobile. Hopefully you won't have any maint issues with the Audi.

 

Buying an R8 - cost some money, stepping into my garage and seeing this:



Priceless... (please ignore how dirty the garage is, not so proud of that).

Now seriously, the R8 was not $175k used, it was far less than that. It was probably about 3x what a G37 Convertible costs or so. Is it 3x better car, hard to say, depends on how you measure like comparing many cars. It is much faster, handles much better, when I cross train tracks the doors don't bang against the chassis and I don't see 20 of them before I leave my neighborhood.

I still like my G a lot, it has been a great car for me, with some very minor flaws that I got used to (minor rattles in the top mostly). It handles well, as long as the weather is good, and is reasonably quick.

Like I said I will still be driving both for a few more months, so I will enjoy both cars.

 

Enjoy the car, you won't see many around and it looks fast just standing still. It's definitely more exotic than the G37 and if you can afford it, you deserve it!

 

hmmmm.... what would I get at that price point?

 

OK finally turned in my 2010 G37 Convertible. If anyone picks up a used 2010 in Garnet Red with tan interior, try double pushing the roof button, you may get a free installed surprise.

Good luck to everyone.
