well shoot...if money was no object, Bugatti Veyron.
But for practicality, I love the RS4, and would probably go for that.

In this class? RS4 rules! No reason to slow down on account of a little rain (or snow). But alas, I would not be able to get white upholstery, vertically stacked funky exhaust tips, an 8-speed torque converted automatic transmission or good cupholders on an RS4. Furthermore, I would have to sacrifice my morning lattes in order to shift. Now that's one hell of a compromise and a little more than I could ever live with.

BTW, are self parking or Shiatsu available options on the IS-F? Audi should offer more cool stuff like this on their cars. The Germans do not understand that we multitask in the US. That's why we are such a great country. Driving, drinking coffee, phone talking and grooming are all integral to my daily commute. Sometimes I read the morning newspaper, too. Thank you Japan for understanding what we US folks need on a great car. 0-60, good inside mirrors and cupholders are what it's about. The only racing I will ever do is from one stoplight to the next.

Shut down, yeah!

If he's going to a prestigious college and gradutes with a law degree with top honors, he just might make $100K his first year out of college...

You really think a BA in law will get you 100k? I don't think so, being a lawyer is not going to college, graduating and earning 100k, neither is being a doctor, you think every "wanna be doctor" outa college earns 100k their first year ? Its a never ending learning process, no law office will pay a kid still wet behind his ears 100k and give him his own office etc... Comeone lets be realistic, is it possible --- sure , is it probable at all ? No, A few years down the road, ya y not its possible, but thats after you go to graduate school and earn multiple degrees. Every good lawyer has a degree in law and multiple degrees in criminal justice etc... That takes years

I totally agree, not with a Bachelor's in Arts will he earn $100K. He's going to need a JD and come from a prestigious college. My brother's ex-girl friend graduated from Yale with a JD and started at $120K and of course passed the BAR exam...

Doctors are a poor example...unless they are a specialist than thats another case...my uncle (being a doctor said its a waste of time to become a doctor unless youare becomign a specialist there are many other careers that can be as well or higher paying) and my brother is making 140k a year in a relatively short period of time after gradudating college more than my sister in law (also a doctor and sister who is a pharmacist)...he was at the top 1% of his class from stanford...but then again he had a few connections... but thats what you should do in college is gain the connection you need to get a high starting salary job...but its easier for prestigious schools and I guess is a disadvantage to the lower colleges on the lower half of the tier 1 scale and the rest of the "no name" colleges...

What a perspective...

Remind me not to go to your uncle for me and my family's care...

Believe it or not, some people still become doctors to help people and/or solve complicated problems. That isn't a waste of time to a lot of people.

Based on your posts on CL thus far, you might have the most warped perspective of anybody I've ever seen...

I think it depends on how good of a doctor you are...and from what school...my girlfriend's brother graduated from UC San Fransico and he's an anethesiologist...he got paid 200k right after he graduated cuz he was the top in his class. Right now I believe he is getting more, but he tells me that he wouldn't recommend being a doctor cuz of the long hours (80+hrs a week, plus you gotta give a year notice when you want to take a vacation!!!), and no social time for yourself...

If money where no object, he'd have his personal assistant put through the order. Hopfully her tallents aren't limited to spelling.

Someone who graduates at the top of his class from a top law school (talking top 10-15 nationwide) will likely make 170k+bonus (which is market), but he'll also have to pay off 3 years of law school + living expenses (minus of course, two summers he will have to have spent interning at law firms, which he could make 2500/wk at). And all that is in addition to his undergraduate tuition and living expenses.

That said, 170k isn't a whole lot to work with when you're talking about buying supercars. The lovely government is already going to take out a huge chunk of that.

The nice part about law is that if you're at a big firm and willing to work insane hours, there's a lot of upside - annual raises and potential equity partnership down the road.
