My daughter wants an Audi A4

I'm not getting her a Bentley. I am getting a decent quality,safe,reliable car.

She clearly knows the meaning of work. She is putting 18hours a week in the DA's office and is a full time student.

I prefer to look at it as incentive. Everynight you turn on the news and you see kids getting into all sorts of trouble. My daughter knows the rules,if she continues on the right path,she will be rewarded. If she doesn't she will just be another schmuck with a bunch of sorry excuses.

One semester when she was in highschool she fell of highhonors and the eclipse was parked for a full quarter.

I've never had to park her car since.

Yeah man, I think you had probably seen my Beemer when I was still driving it. What model/body style was the one that you had? If I remember correctly you also drove a Jeep for awhile.

BEEMERS totally rock!! They are one of my all time favorite cars. My little 325 fits me like a glove it's definitely a drivers car. In the cockpit all the instruments and gauges are in the perfect position for the driver, and with it being lowered with Bilstien racing suspension it really hooks up nice on the road. I can literally drive sideways down the road and then ease off on the accelerator a bit and bam it will pretty much straighten itself out. They handle pretty good with stock suspension but it's like night and day when compared with the bilstien's.

I sold a bone stock beemer to a buddy a few years back and he did a few mods. when he got it. Exhaust, ram air with K&N filter charger and a few others pretty much on par to what I have on my current beemer, but without the suspension upgrade. I had the opportunity to drive the car a few months back and although being quite a fun ride I could really notice the difference the suspension makes and not just in cornering. Acceleration with the stock suspension isn't as snappy due to body roll and it doesn't hook up nearly as nice in the corners.

My later comments in this thread were pointed more towards all the parents out there who just go out and buy their kids cars as presents simply because they can afford them. From what I've seen of it that only serves to further spoil them, rotten in many cases.

I don't see Minte and his daughter falling into that category, he seems to have found a way to ensure she has a good work ethic, which is the main issue here at least as far as I'm concerned.

Bmw is more reliable.... audi + vw bahh problems

Tell her to go and get a job and earn her right to own one.

Exactly....

Oh ignore me.

And what about...



Edit: Not the S5 but the "normal S-line" 3.0 diesel (or 3.2 otto :X)

It's a fucking sweet ride

he just run this site http://www.mintesbabes.com/

bmw sux.. get her want she wants.. AUDI!

saver to drive then the BMW, great car.

not a 'Bayerischer Mist Wagen'

I think she would like then BMW instead did you tell her that...?

that looks impressive

I had the old A4 (4cyl though, not s/rs4) for about two years and no problems with it at all, cannot imagine that the new model is any less reliable..

Never a lack of opinions on GFY,

We are going in to the dealer this morning so she can test drive them both.
Good news is she only is interested in 6sp.
