I think the Audi S3 would be on the shortlist of cars we would look at if we had to replace the wife's car.

Not sure if I would want to deal with an Audi outside of warranty though. Seems like everyone I've known to own an Audi talks about how they turn into horrible money pits after about 4 years or so.

Buy the extended warranty for peace of mind. I think they cover up to 7 years.

If they had the kind of reliability we associate with Japanese cars I think a lot more people would drive European cars including me.

If I were making such lists I think the S2000 would feature in every one of them. There is a lot I am thankful for that has come thanks to the car and the good intentions of the people that built it. What a great group of people it has brought together.

If reliability on a new car is so poor that I need to seriously consider an extended warranty, it will never see my driveway.

58 degrees according to my dashboard. Snow melting rapidly and the melt is washing sand off the roads. How soon until the potholes are fixed is the question.

Sunny and 47 here, has really put a dent in the snow on my yard, I'd say about 1/4 is down to grass or puddles.

Not much grass showing here. Still a foot or more deep in most places.

Warmer day here too. Lots of snow melt on the roads. Road repair season is coming soon. Roads are in very bad shape here though. I'm not sure if we can have a drive until late May.
