My previous car was a 2001 Audi A6 2.7T. The only thing I did was put some RS6 18" wheels on it. It was a really sweet car. Quattro is really fun to drive. If the new A6 had any kind of power, and was not so over priced, I would have bought another Audi. However, I am now a real fan of Lexus . Audi does have some of the best fit and finish in the market.

I traded in my 01 Maxima Anniversary Edition. It was a pretty sweet car but getting high in miles. I thought I would see more former Maxima owners in this thread. Seems like a pretty natural progression from a Maxima to a GS400/430. No regrets though. I love my GS430.

I sold this a couple months after picking up my GS. Took me that long to realize I just wasn't driving the thing...

Before I bought my GS in 1999, I had a '95 Oldsmobile Aurora. It was a good car with a lot of luxury and style (not like the 2nd generation Aurora).

I had a 5sp 99 Maxima SE before my GS430. Came so close to getting the A6 4.2 but when I drove it I was really unimpressed by the power. Quattro is heavy. Was on AudiWorld.com for about a year and it's crazy the difference in subject matter between there and here. 75% of the threads are about broken or malfunctioning stuff it seemed. Couldn't be happier with my GS or this place.... well maybe a little.

1992 Acura Legend LS

It was modded (intake, pulley, intake manifold, etc). My favorite car actually. Sad to say, I love it more than the GS. In fact, I took care of my legend more than i took care of my ownself. My GS sits outside with dust all over it. I rarely wash it (once a month?) and never polish/wax/etc anymore. I would still drive my legend today if I didn't get into an accident.
