As a token of my esteem, and a thank you to my wife for her indentured servitude for the past 10 years while I built my business and career, I bought her an Audi S5 Prestige yesterday.
It was my brothers and, to be honest, it was the only time in my 20 years of knowing her that she actually said "I want that car". To her, my obsession with automobiles is something to roll her eyes at.
This car is a BEAST! Supercharged V-6 putting out 334 hp to an all wheel drive setup. Six speed manual transmission and just an all around bad ass car.
The way I'm tying this into our 914's is that I've never been hit with the "I need more power" bug for them. I've always been happy with the 2.0's but, now.... not so much.
One day of diving this thing and I have to put a bigger motor in the 914.
There's nothing like that being pushed back in your seat when you get on the throttle feeling and it's been a long time since I've felt it.
I'm not going to go crazy but, I'm thinking of a 2056 or so. Enough to propel it a bit more. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
