Ha, let me know if you need a test drive...

Lemming, to answer your Q from the other thread--of course it's a 6M.

If I were going to do DSG I probably would do the S3.

Nice! Congrats!

I guess you need a red Porsche now too.

Hey, I get to lowball him first!

(And I'd love to drive it once it's broken in.)

The idea of getting a white one had some patriotic appeal, but in the end it was just a little too plain.

The Mk VI was a great car and part of me is sad to see it go. You may recall it was hit pretty hard very early in my ownership, necessitating a frame repair. It was fine for basically the last 5 years, but that was a big part of the reason I wanted to trade it rather than try and sell it.

Yeah, a part of me was thinking I'd have wanted to snatch up your old R for just enough to make it better for you to not trade it. But then I remembered the encounter with the dump truck. I'd drive it until I finally got my Model 3 and then it might go to our daughter.

(Can you tell I'm regretting not still having mine?)
