I've been watching this, very tempting, but the S would have to go in order to get it.

I'm hoping it's not as good as looks otherwise there could be a problem.
I think unfortunately,

Regardless, I'm still going to try very hard to test drive one when it comes out. I would absolutely kill to rock that as a daily and the S as my top-down toy.

That being said, I would rather like to see how the RS5 fairs when it comes out. It may be a bit more suited for daily-driving pursuits... but I still can't help but love the TT RS Coupe.

I don't believe that those numbers support the contention that FB has a negative impact of the economic realities of the world. To be perfectly frank, as a general rule, individuals in a population shouldn't spend 100% of their waking hours "productive" to their society. You quickly get into an overproduction situation which actually causes economic collapse rather than preventing it. Actually, we've probably been tending towards that more than anything over the last century with machines replacing humans for much of our needs. So long as the periods of non-production are divided relatively equally amongst the population there really is no problem with those facebook numbers.

lol I know this. It is the same reason the Romans made the 'Gladiator Games'

I am not saying people shouldn't relax and YES I know the economy isn't in the shitter because of FB games, nor do the people who spend that amount of time on fb have any effect on the economy.

It was meant to be facetious.
