Well using that logic an old geezer would not likely drive it hard enough to ever warrant a cool down, and by driving so slowly to begin with, they are warming the turbos plenty, since old people are very slow from start/off the line, will I drive slow when I'm old I wonder.

I have an honest question for the 18-25 crowd...
what jobs do you have/where do you work/how do you afford to own, drive, maintain and MOD these cars at that age?
I do mean that with all due respect - I am serious...
anyone want to weight in?

I'm 26 and I get paid $41k right now (just started with the company), with bills (I live alone), car note/repairs, saving for my retirement, and paying off these damn student loans ($35k to go!), I have about about $300 left a month to spend on myself.
It's rough sometimes... but it's worth it to have nice things (lived poor as a kid).

I am 33 and just bought my first audi. 03 a6quattro I can barely afford it with the huge mortgage so praying to get lucky with maintenance. I stuck to honda's in my 20's and never spent a dime! I have had the audi for two days and already had the no. 4 ignition coil go out. Thank god they fixed it for free. I guess the young guys are true enthusiasts and can do the maintenance themselves.

Me personally, a 23 yr old, took a severe plunge in lifestyle when I took on the Audi. I don't smoke anymore, I rarely drink, I got to clubs maybe 2ice a year compared to once a week. I eat at home, take home cooking to work for lunch. I live at home with my parents, I have a Gf so I'm no loser by any means, finished my secondary education, and am on my way to starting my carreer choice in Policing. Right now the way I'm keeping up with the costs to fuel the car - mind you in Ontario Supreme gas is at $1.37/L which translates to $5.17US/Gal - is by working 5km from home for a Toyota manufacturing plant. I feather the car 95% of the time, but sometimes I have to remind myself of why I'm doing all of this. The car is stock and I plan on keeping her that way for a while, until I buy a piece of land with an oil reserve under it, and can afford the extra gas the car will eat if I mod it. With that being said these cars are like misstresses that keep you excited, or at least with me it is. I know it'll keep my kids safe, as well as my future wife and me, and as long as I treat it well, it will do the same right back.

Im 22, and i just bought my first audi about 3 weeks ago its an 03 A6 3.0. Love it! and everyone i know thinks its a great car for me. ive always been a lincoln mercury guy. my first car when i was 17 was a 1984 Grand marquis. that broke down and i gave it to my cousin about 8 months after i got it from my neighbor. i took my moms 1994 Lincoln Mark VIII and drove that senior year of highschool up till march of 2007 and i got myself a 1996 Mark VIII. so we have to mark 8s in the driveway that i was using. then i got in a totaled wreck 4 months after i bought the 96 mark 8 and just stuck with the 94 mark 8. starting about end of march this year i was looking around for a car to be the replacement for the 96 mark 8. in this order i looked at 1987 Cadillac fleetwood brougham, 96 Lincoln mark VIII, 97 Lincoln Mark viii, 01 Audi A6 2.7T, 02 S4, and then the 03 A6 3.0 and thats the one i bought. Im not sure how i fell into the whole european thing, i never disliked them at all but i just never considered them. i was always in the big american luxury boats. but the euros just hit me and i realized that i could actually afford some of them from 99-03 if i just kept my eyes pealed and found a good deal, i looked at all midsized bmw, benz, jags, volvos, audi, VWs, and leexus as well. im glad i found this audi, i plan on keeping it for a long time. its a nice car and looks great most of my friends and family think its a huge upgrade from the old 94 lincoln. i still have that car of course i wouldnt get rid of it for the world. the problem is deciding which one gets to have garage time and which one i should use! the audi gets used the most of course, the lincoln sits most of the time i try to use it more than once a week. But the audi usually beats it!
