For me it has been more like owning a horse.

I pay someone to board the horse.(Audi shop)They feed, water and train my horse (turbos, transmision parts, etc). I stop by every couple of weeks to go for a ride. Take her for a spin around the pasture (block) and then put her back in the stable so that they can take care of her again (fix whatever I broke this time).

I hope someday to bring her home and ride her daily. ;-)

I also toyed around with selling my car but in the end decided to keep it and have not regretted it since. It all boils down to what stage in life you are at and what your "needs" are. To me it was basically a choice between having a fun car which had practical use as well.
When I finally pulled the trigger on STG3 it felt like a brand new car when I got it back. My passion for it is renewed and I wash my car more now then ever. Finding a replacement won't be easy....

You're obviously far-sighted and i think your vision is getting a little blurry. Maybe a new prescription is in order? My opthalmologist, who is fantastic btw, recommends a stronger prescription...lets just call it 3 for now. Although this answer might not be a cheap, quick fix like lasek, the long term rewards of doing it right are much greater and more satisfying.

What were we talking about again?;-p

Younger girls always come and go - there's always going to be a new bunch that'll catch your eye. I recently had a bout with the Infiniti G35, Lexus IS350, and even the Suby STi for a little bit. But I always came back to my old girl - even more so after flirting around and seeing what my other options were.

You're right, the S4 IS like finding that great women. I won't have to state it again since you put it so well, but I'll have to stand on your current girl's side and say that if you pass her up - you just may never find out how great of a girl she can be after you "pop the question".

Granted, we're in different positions slightly considering you're Stage 2 and I've been stock this entire time. But after my little adventures with the younger girls on the market, I came back this past weekend and ordered everything for stage 2 minus the downpipes - there was just something about taking the "old" girl back out for a 300 mile trip that just reminded me of how much she meant to me.

Either way, it comes down to what you want to do. Either you take the plunge and pick up a younger, more adventurous or better looking partner - or you pick the S4 and stick it out with her. Sure, you *might* get someone who's more athletic, adventurous, stylish and more pleasing to the eye - but you *know* what your lady has right now, and I don't think she's quite let you down yet.

Personally, I'm sticking it out with my lady - I've always known how to make her scream, and I everytime I do the grin on my face is from cheek to cheek.

if I could go back in time and reverse the decision, I could do it with 1,000% conviction
