Getting rid of the BMW. The twin turbos make the Audi a great highway car- 40 to 80 feels like it takes about 3 seconds. I never check the driver's side mirror when driving it- I simply floor it and count one potato, then move into the left lane, cause there's no way someone could still be even with me at that point. Problem is, the Audi is a whale in the twisties, just to damn heavy, even with a sport anti-sway bar, and the seats have you sliding all over as they are built for comfort, not sport. That's why I had the BMW, which was a lot more fun to toss around, but the car isn't worth the cost of maintenance anymore, so the BMW goes, and the Arc moves into the garage. I WILL NOT miss the rear wheel drive in the snow, but it sure was fun to slide it sideways into a turn and throttle steer her around the apex.
