What's your "affordable" dream car?
Sure - you could pick up a used Ferrari 308 for $30K but could you afford the maintenance and upkeep? More importantly, how would you haul your gear?

This is mine...Audi S4 Avant...320hp, I can haul my gear to a gig, my bodyboard to the beach, load it up and go on a trip, etc. If I didn't already have three gas guzzling V8 muscle cars, I'd pick one up.

Don't judge me. I love small cars, I love convertibles, and I love reliable cars. It's not a girls car. : )

It does have to be BRG, of course.
