But you see, the time to shop for a 2-seater is now (or next year this time). Soft economy + winter = good prices.

I drove the 335 back to back with my then zhp, with my caymanS, with the s4 (at komen drive) and with an e46m3.

It is wonderfully smooth and does drive nicer than an audi. However it is too quiet/soft for me in stock form to even want to do anything with. I found myself slowing down naturally in it. I'd have to change exhaust/suspension to get some entertainment. 3 out of 4 of those cars are more fun for me. The s4 is a toss up, perhaps less fun.

I know, I'll work with the wife over the weekend. Kind of an "act now while I'm willing to buy a cheaper car!" infomercial approach.

Everyone shops for a 2-seater in the spring. Don't wait.

Heck, a Lotus Elise all of a sudden starts tomake sense (If I can find one I like for under 30K).

Shit, now I had to give myself THAT idea. It's a good thing the EE just fried the transformer/power amplifier in my prototype, so I have some time today...

Whatever you do, as a third car, get a convertible - you owe it to yourself.

Also, as equ says, now's the time, convertibles get really expensive starting around March.
