I have been driving a 98 Audi A4 now 5 years. costly at times. hubby has been keeping it on the road.
I made a trade for it not knowing it is expensive to maintain.
My son drove a Mitsubishi eclipse....put a lot of money into it and took it a few times to the local drag strip, he was doing 10-11 seconds
on the 1/4mile strip. they told him he would have to put roll bars in it if he wanted to race it any more. I drove it, stomped on the pedal and I was plastered to the back of the seat. wow that was a rush...and he told me I didn't get through the gears, 1and 2 and I was done. I also drove it to the store and had looks, revved engines. I did leave someone in the dust only once. I really don't know how he never got a ticket but he said he never raced it on the road. only really fast on the track.
