If you DID see him, I doubt he'd have much to say...like always.

He'd most likely be passed out in a pool of his own piss.

The problem is after it falls out of the maintenance plan, you pay up the arse for replacement parts and labor! That's where my big issue lies. I don't replace cars very often, I drive until I can't drive them anymore. So the Audi was a really really expensive car to maintain as it neared the end...

But if you're going to move on before it falls out, then

I was first leaning towards a 3 year lease, but it makes more sense to buy it instead. If I do buy it, I will have it a max of maybe 2 years before I sell it. Either way, not getting anywhere near warranty limits!

I haven't bought it yet, but I think I'm getting a good deal.

Has almost every option box ticked from the packages...

MSRP $74,000

My price $63,800 w/ Euro Delivery. Not bad for a 2012 model

That deal is open to anyone, PM me if interested.

Absolutely, BMW has a ridiculous program. The factory tour is amazing I hear. The only problem with going to the ring is that its north of munich and everything I want to do is south! It would definitely be quite a thrill and though and it is definitely part of my itinerary. Thanks for the input, I agree, they are bucket list events!

Re ring... you'll be driving from Munich to Stuttgart, and then south through Zurich... the drive through Switzerland is epic, even before you get to the mountains... wish you could see it in summer but even this time of year it will be great... anyways, if you are all the way to Stuttgart, the autobahn to Nurburgring is not much time

finish friends tonight said he's going back as well... they were speculating williams team... still a very marketable driver

till then, here's how he's keeping busy

I heard rumors that he's talking to the Williams team but I'm not sure if I believe it or not. He left F1 because he was tired of it and I'm not sure if he would come back if it wasn't with a winning team.

He tried to get into NASCAR earlier this year but couldn't line up a (full-time) ride with a top team so he stopped looking there.

He wants to be somewhere that he can win, regardless of the series, so I'm not so sure if he'd sign with Williams but who knows...
