I'm getting to the point where I don't think I really care about having a "fun" car to drive day to day. I love the Boxster but it costs me like $800 a year just in insurance. I'm not sure it makes sense to keep it around. |

And "nice weather" quickly turns into "90+ degrees" here at which point I have no desire to drive a convertible. The window of "nice convertible weather" in Maryland is really May through June and September through October with a few July and August days sprinkled in. |

Dealer just called and said he managed to grab on of the last few M3's in the US that could still be reconfigured and got me the car, built it and send the order to European delivery. Now my wife is second guessing the car. Ugh. Will need to talk to her tonight. |

For the second... The b9 a4 reviews are all quite good, but there is one big catch. The manual version now has a weaker sauce on-demand quattro than the DSG/Auto version. Puts me off. |
