    Nananana nananana

    Hey hey hey goodbye. I already miss the prowness of the beast. Could not keep up with the cost
    of parts and labor and the constant "what's wrong with it now" head shakes and headaches. I downgraded to a Lexus IS F. A bit slower but way more reliable. Thanks for always giving good info and tips.

    I'm afraid these cars are getting past the point of daily drivers.

    Lower mileage examples can remain ultra reliable if placed in limited duty.

    My Daytona and Avus cars were enjoyed for several years in a somewhat daily manner. Now reserved for the special days only. 50k and 80k on them and dead reliable!

    good luck on your journey

    Thanks man and you are right. Soon as I made it my daily, things started to fall apart.

    I am at 70K on mine and so far so good.... but it is not a DD. I like the Lexus F cars with the normally aspirated V8.... very rare nowadays

    LMAO! It breaks out of the blue too!....Came back to the car from the range yesterday to find the friggen dome light/onstar assembly hanging down by the wires! Spontaneous Automotive Destruction. Yes, that's S.A.D.

    I think there is more hot glue in my car than plastic now!

    It took me a few minutes to find the missing parts! Under the seat. You can see the line where they broke. Used Super glue backed up but a generous amount of hot glue. It's still in place. Once corner was broken also.

    That's a shame! I could never drive a Japanese "luxury" car after driving an Audi; any Audi. This is coming from someone who's owned over a dozen Japanese sports cars. Oh well, at least you now get 8 forward gears!
