The_Chieftain:   I have a 2005 S4 Cabrio. V8 with a manual transmission which I bought new as a 'welcome back from Iraq' present. Only thing wrong with it is that the air conditioning system costs more to repair than the car is worth. Fortunately, being a convertible, I get 75 aircon. I'm not planning on selling it at all. Ever.   I do have a daughter, eight years old, and the wife did come with a dog. So there should be a four-door in the family. She (big firm attorney) drives an SL550, so it's the daily driver which is the 4-door, which right now is a Passat TDI, and that's the one getting replaced under the Dieselgate business. So that's flaw #1 with the R8. Flaw number 2 is that I don't know how much you think Wargaming pays me, but it's not enough to buy an R8. And given how much I commute, something with a lot of miles on it already is a non-starter: The VW is barely two and a half years old, but already out of warranty. But, yes, I am well familiar with the R8, I'm part of a local Audi fan group called "Quattro Crew" which, in fairness, isn't picky about marque: When we go on group drives, I take the Audi, wife takes the SL, and we bring radios to chat. A number of R8s usually show up at an event. Wife thinks they are the most comfortable car seats she's ever been in...
