My father told me he would like to buy the Audi RS7 to replace his A7...don't know if he was serious or not...do want.

Need to keep on getting fit, tis the most important thing to me. So far this year, if I add up running/biking/swimming miles I'm not at 114.2 miles. Overall satisfied with that, but I need to bump up the running more.

I'm jealous. Mine was $32,000 after tax.

My BRZ L was in that neighborhood after taxes, registration, and shipping from MA to MD.

That sucks man have they worked out what to do?

I was taken to the ER when I went into the office back on the Gold Coast (work remotely from home) and was told that I had Atrial Fibrillation sucks as I am only 27 good news is my last visit to the Cardiac department said my heart beat has gone back normal but I need to see an Electrophysiology Cardiologist but there is none here so need to wait until I move back to the Gold Coast


If you have to wait for updates or procedures the not knowing part sucks all I was thinking of is it fixed or getting worse.

The best advise I can give is Don't get caught up stressing about it as it will affect you more than you think Live life to the full and just don't do what the Doctors tell you not to well that is what I am doing.

Good luck

Also: MSRP of the FR-S has now breached 25k (up from $24,500 if I remember correctly), to $25,255...$240 shy of the better base equiped BR-Z. Did I miss something?

Edit#3: I did...they just added destination to the MSRP...haha, so no more trying to haggle down the dest. fee eh?

This isn't so much about the capabilities of the car, it's about the growing superiority complex of the owners.

The 'I had more fun' excuse gets thrown around a lot to account for every shortcoming of the car.

Listening to noobs heckle a veteran member for not understanding the purpose of this car because he was looking into turbo kits with good low-end is also teeth-grating.

On the flip side, there is a solid true enthusiast core at least.

Holy shit! What if I'm the hipster??? 'I liked it better before it went mainstream...'

'Have you even seen the Mk1 Concept? You wouldn't understand...'

From that thread I don't think it sounds like Ryephile himself was actually thinking of putting a turbo an FRS, afterall he doesn't even have one of those cars. I thought it was pretty funny though, he clearly has "drives: '07 Lotus Exige S" under his avatar, and noobs were telling him he doesn't understand blah blah blah.
