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.
