I almost did a stupid thing this weekend. I almost sold my car. There’s no reason in this very soft car market to sell a car if you don’t need to. You’ll lose so much money on a trade in that you’ll be mad about it for years. So, after seeing that dealerships were offering shocking numbers on my car, I decided to just pay it off and keep it forever. But, I dont want to drive it every day so I need another car. The problem is I need 3 other cars. One car to race, one to haul things around and another grand tourer for commuting. Yes, I need 4 cars. I know it’s not exactly green but hey, it’s a fantasy and my fantasies are allowed to be a lot of things, emissions heavy is one of them.

What I’ve been pondering is a 1.8t GTI that I can race on weekends and drive to work. It’s not expensive, the aftermarket is huge and if things break, I can fix it or get it fixed without having to hock a kidney. But there is always some sort of setback and todays setback came in the form of the S3 hatchback in Autoblog.

I’ve been lusting after an S3 hatchback since I saw them in Europe hustling around like little bandits. It’s like a GTI but sexy and refined. That could redice my need to 3 cars and the third, the hauler can always wait so I guess that means I need two cars. Now that sounds a lot more reasonable… I’ll be sitting out at Roger Beasley Audi waiting for the shipment if you need me.
