    In the end, your car should always be YOUR choice. Hell I'm sure I catch silent snickers for owning a cts-v wagon, but I love it. My RS6 is a labor of love. I never get bored of her, and I have been thru many cars in a short period of time. But if its a DD and you plan to put alot of miles on it, then I agree its not practical.

    The car is a legend among real car-guys (and gals).

    For me, it's worth every penny. No regrets. It's the most satifying car I've ever owed- by a lot.

    Just be honest with yourself about what you can afford to maintain.

    So many people tried to talk me out of buying my RS6 and into buying something more "practical and reliable." One of those people was my husband. I said, "Three words: Just drive it." He did. Not only did he change his tune (direct quote: "You MUST buy this car!"), I spent three days (and a full tank of gas) trying to pry the keys out of his hand.

    I am a responsible person. I have a responsible job, I pay all my bills and taxes, and (with the possible exception of the speed limit) I don't break the law. But dammit, everyone needs to live a little, and that car puts a smile on my face every time I push the gas pedal.

    I think the article is hilarious and well-written. But I gotta disagree, at least insofar as whether or not something is a "bad idea" is in the eye of the beholder.

    Hilarious article and true to a huge extent. But love is blind.
