rs3

[NIck Miller]

I think I like myself too much to ever consider the panamera lol.  God, 128
buttons to drive you nuts when they don't work.

Maybe one car to do it all isn't a good philosphy,  but I like all my cars
to be fun to drive, so I don't have driving becoming a chore.  As to passing
911s on track... I think it should be fun in the baby mazda,  lol we'll
see...
