damn cardude, now I don't feel so bad. I have had 8 cars in the last 8 years (still have 4 between my wife and I).

I thought that was a lot for 2 people.

I hate...hate being a strong word....hate turbo lag. Between the turbo and the automatic transmission, the car was super slow to pull out...then bam...320 horsepower. It is very difficult to drive smooth with a car like that, I found myself pushing the pedal to the floor constantly (BTW I drive mostly in the city traffic, so stop and go). If I drove the car more on the highway I probably would not have changed. Plus I got 390 horsepower...woohoo.

Very nice collection. But the S4 Avant is a jewel to many. But you are the owner, so your choice. However, in Denver with a few RWD cars...I'm lost? Wouldn't you want the AWD? Is the Durango going to take the hit?

It snows like once a week(in winter)...if that...and usually melts in a day or less.

Mine is blue...like the monte carlo blue on the S2K.
Ahh Sonic Blue is a nice color... good choice.

BTW...I grew up in Jacksonville Florida (lived close to Blanding Blvd). I graduated from Nathan Bedford Forrest High School...
I've been in OP for about 11 years now... came here after college but I know NB Forrest. Your list of cars looks similar to mine... some day I keep a car for more than a year or so.

So what made you decide to get the Cobra? Going from German Luxury Sedan to an American Sports Car.
I'm guessing he's like me and just a car enthusiast. My previous four cars were two Lexus and two BMW's and while I miss the 'creature comforts', interior build quality, etc. I absolutely love the power the Cobra has. In stock form the car is fast... slap on a chip, pulley, intake and exhaust and you're in some pretty elite company in terms of power.

It's nice... I'll eventually end up in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area but J-ville is a good staging point.
