you're young, you've got the rest of your life to ask "what if"? spend more time doing what you want to do, and spend less time answering peoples' questions.

Once the A5/S5 becomes more common, all the kids in your neighborhood will have that too. Of course everybody's older sister there already has the RR Sport.

Given how you like to heavily mod your car, include messing with the electronics, you are running a huge risk of getting warranty denied by Audi for electrical problems that probably didn't have anything to do with your mods, but you'd have no way to prove it.

Hahaha!!! Talk about Big Wheels!!! Out of everyones post to get the bike you gotta suggest Big Wheels.

As for the car. I would say keep it and wait for awhile before buying a new car. If you are planning to go on to bigger better things, then I hope you have a bigger and better wallet because you might lose out on the money you spent on the car. Just go for a 2nd car if anything!!!

I remember sitting @ the Lexus dealership and noticed a report on reliability with-in the auto idustry. Leuxs was 1st w/ 127 problems per 100 cars and Land Rover was last with 420 problems per 100 cars. Something to think about. Go check out some M5s. Just My $00.02.

I had a range rover sport supercharged, which was to me the best driving experience I had. I'd still have it had I not need to driver 50 more miles a day for work in traffic...on the range i'd get like 9 or 10 mpg lol...it was hooked up with 22's n tv's n all....if you don't have problems with gas then go for it, u'll love it. Also, they do depreciate like crazy.

It WILL NOT do you any better if you have more people hating on you for having a nicer ride than you do now. You'll just have to watch out for your car even MORE- especially when you're in class.

There is ALWAYS something to mod...you can help me mod my car =)
I'm going to do sound proofing pretty soon, you can come and help me.

Anyways, my stuff should come in tomorrow. You want to help me install it on Thurs?

Keep the car until the warranty is up.

-Justin
for sure justin, ill help you out with the sound proofing, and i am graduation college! im finishing moorpark already. only 1 year. going to pepperdine, i forgot to tell you!

javy, man, i can't carry enough *****ez on that thing. what are you trying to do to me?

i just kind of want to try out a european car for once.

So how old are you?

I would say keep the 2IS for a little longer and think some things over. As the economy goes and some people are having some money troubles. It might be wise to settle on your current car for the time being and wait a year or so before getting a new ride.


Your car is what 1 year old? You would take a hit if you decided to sell.




PS: POST pictures of your car already with all these teaser threads about new parts/projects and no pictures to show for them!
haha if you can convince someone to take pictures of my car somewhere, then that's looking like the only way. i don't have a camera, nor a cameraphone dude.
