My shrink just got a new one on Tuesday. I had an appt. yesterday and I commented on the car out in the lot. He says "yeah that's my new lease" so that led us to the topic of Euro cars. To make a long story short after we shoot the **** over why Audi is better he says "OK, I am going to lunch after you. Do you want to go for a spin?" I was flabbergasted (keep in mind this is the guy who prescribes my Xanax to the tune of 1.0mg "as needed" and gives me 90 pills for 6 weeks) and I'm like are you serious? He says "yeah I know you're not crazy you only come to me for the scripts" So I laugh and say "Sure". So let me tell you something. That car is HOT HOT HOT. I didn't really get to open her up too much. We nailed a bit of the interstate (which his office is right off) got up to 95 before he suggested I slow down a bit and no **** that probably took all of it felt like less than 10 seconds. Gorgeous interior. I like the styling of the Audi a lil better, the Benz was more "cold and industrial" I guess is a good word. Id like to get her out for a romp in a lil snow and see how the 4matic compares to the responsiveness of the Quatt, but that is probably the most expensive car I've ever driven and thought it was even funnier because it was my shrink's. Had to share. STILL wouldn't get that over an Audi if the funds permitted. I'm faithful....

 

LOL.....your shrink needs a shrink! Did you get the tired to chirp at all?

 

I have yet to drive a 550 but I have driven quite a few S430's and they have always felt great. My only complaint is the transmission. They are really jumpy if your just trying to get out into mild traffic you have to punch it so it starts off in 1st instead of 2nd and 1st gear feels quite short. I think I have grown to like the C230's the most. I don't like large cars I guess lol but A4 vs C230 I think I'll take my A4.

 

naw .... don't want him pulling my xanny script man ....I was cruising along at like 70 and he goes "get on her a little" ......... "sir, yes sir" LOL!

 

^ Nice.....how torquey is it?

 

pretty high on the low end .... as dude said it felt better as it went from 2nd to 3rd and up......but that engine has alot of nuts ..... do people mod those like they do ours ? Because that ****** has ALOT of potential ...

 

I've seen a few modded ones.....I actually saw one yesterday morning.It was chipped, dumped,body kit,wing......it looked pretty fu(kin sick!

 

I think they do more modding to the AMG's or at least any Kompressor edition as there supercharged. Although an SLK230 Kompressor has no ***** at all.

 

This one was a c class, everything looked sick, but the lights just dont look right with a body kit !!!
