I lost an inconceivably large sum in depreciation on the last new car I bought.... which makes my RS 6 a relative bargain. Although I will say I don't think I could put up with it if I didn't have a decent warranty.

A few times I've been approached by dudes who have all kinds of admiration for the car, (which reminds me of its legendary status...) and who then start asking questions that tell me they're doing the math on ownership.

I tell those guys that unless they're prepared to put 10k a year into it, don't do it.
