Take your pick! :)

The A4 is the daily driver, and should stay, but I could let it go.

The 200 doesn't see much use. I didn't get an inspection sticker last year due 
to the UFOs failing. Chris at Force 5 thought I could scrape down the ridge 
along the outer edge of the rotor to make them pass the fingernail test. It 
needs a heater core (which has been by-passed so it is drivable). And the AC 
does not work. But I think it is the keeper of the bunch.

The V8 (Oh No!) has been the old faithful. It starts on the first turn of the 
key after sitting for weeks/months. But it is noisy (custom exhaust that could 
really use a resonator). The AC does not work. The port-side rear passenger 
window has been zipped tied in place to fix a non-working regulator. But the V8 
has all the right mods -- Euro headlights, lowered, A8 rotors and Mercedes 
S-Class calipers, the conversion to 5-speed manual. And black-on-black makes it 
look the part.

Make me an offer...
