It is important to let you all know that 10 days ago Mom went car shopping with me on a Saturday afternoon. I definitely had the manual transmission convertible bug as you are all well aware. I had the bug prior to San Diego, but after a week with Sam it was fully in my blood stream.
At the point when we went car shopping together I had already driven a half dozen Porsche Boxters and a Mercedes SLK. I was ready to take action but was really trying to be "practical." Mom and I drove a 2010 Audi A6, a 2012 Audi A6 and a 2005 Porsche Boxster. Following the test drives I made the decision that I really liked the A6 and wanted to wait for the right deal on a 2012.
That lasted a week... After not hearing from Gary at Audi over the last week, I started getting the itch again to get a "tweener" car for the summer. This was exacerbated by receiving a voice maiI from Max that I should get a manual transmission car. He didn't know it but he was feeding the beast! I went to drive a 2001 Mercedes SLK tonight - a very cool car with a hardtop convertible.
So while I am trying to keep "the beast" at bay and the itch from itching, let me know what you all think about the attached two cars. Your vote does count...
I love you all,
