About 4 years ago now, I had just bought a Sentra SE-R (91-94 is still a
great car) for a decent price.  A week later a co-worked picked up a
635CSI for $1000 less than I paid for my Sentra.  The car was perfect,
~40k miles, everything worked, owner was being shipped overseas and had to
dump it that day.  I lusted after that car every day, until it got
broadsided.  It was rebuilt very well, by a rather well-known North
Florida BMW shop, and I still would have given my right arm for that car.
It doesn't appeal to me nearly as much now (imagine parking that in NYC)
but I still feel a bit of sadness every time I see one drive by.
Hopefully an S4 will fill the void.
