I feel better now since that's coming from the only man good enough to buff it out.

damn...I will have to see if I have any super glue for the front end.

Did the semi just not see the car?

Yikes!

That's quite scary! Everyone ok?

babino · 10-05-2009, 12:40 PM

It happened at that mess of an intersection at Union Park Ave and 1300 E. The Semi was in the far right left turning lane and my wife was in the far right lane to go straight. When the light went green the semi decided to turn right across the straight/right-turn lane and found our poor A4. Fortunately he stopped after pulling the front off the car.

And yes, everyone is ok. Thanks for asking.

Ruff Rider · 10-05-2009, 12:44 PM

Did the wife get out and kick the shit out of the semi driver?

Not a good way to start off the week....but look at the bright side...cars can be fix....wife is OK

She didn't, but that's why I showed up on the scene several minutes later. Somehow the semi driver mysteriously disappeared moments after I had a 'talk' with him...

I would run and hide too if you had a 'talk' with me. Thats why I let you win at golf

babino · 10-05-2009, 01:02 PM

I'm pretty sure I didn't win anything but the lost ball total, but thanks

Park2670 · 10-05-2009, 01:44 PM

Wow Dave. That's crazy

Damn web-blocker...I can't see the pictures. Time for a new S4?

babino · 10-05-2009, 03:24 PM

I wish.. the new ones are pretty nice.

Park2670 · 10-05-2009, 04:48 PM

Maybe a nice used 330xi for the wife?

Would that be your nice used 330xi? :shifty

SLCGoonski · 10-05-2009, 05:52 PM

Question - If you had to replace your current vehicle for one of similar price (monthly payments equal)...what would you buy?

No...I'm not selling my car, but am always open for ideas and opinions...

Das M · 10-05-2009, 06:42 PM

I hated it at first, it has grown on me though. Price is much lower than my current ride too. There are other cars, but too close to the 335 (Audi, etc.) I would want something with AWD.

hmmm . . . .

I would probably put another 3er at the top of my list.
I'd also consider an Infiniti M35 or FX.

babino · 10-05-2009, 06:49 PM

Hypothetically....
335i E92 --> S4 if I needed AWD, otherwise, imho there is no better car than what I have for the money (S5 is too friggin heavy).
A4 --> 335xi E90 (used would be roughly same $)
I don't want two of the same car brands in the garage

Nice, but please say you'd ditch the gold wheels.
