[s-cars] To Buy or Not to Buy

Boy, this is one hard question. I just spent the last 4 days with my family 
visiting for a surprise 60th B-day for my wife. My urS4 is still in the shop 
awaiting parts. I do have my newer to me DD of a 99.5 A4 1.8tqm and it just 
isn't big enough with other folks. Its great for 2 adults and you can always add 
my 3 grandsons at 10, 8 and 2 but no other adults wanted to sit in the back 
seat. My wife's A6 got all the other adults.

Now I really love the little B5 and the 99.5 is probably the best year with 
all the exterior and interior updates but without ESP and DBW. Its sort of Old 
Skewl/New Skewl. It handles great and is very quick with the Sportec 
turbo/mani and all sorts of suspension and exterior tweeks. It is very much the point 
and shoot type of car and I have to restrain myself from being too aggressive. 
Anyway, that's my .002 cents.

Hap, wit dakine B5 thoughts not from Evahboost, Maguire
