Saying Goodbye to my Speed6 today

[zoomdarylzoom]

I'm trading in my Speed6 today and I have to admit I'm going to miss her. This has been a fun car to drive, especially in snowy conditions when 4-wheel drifting was the order of the day. This car drew alot of attention and complements wherever I went. Some of that attention however was from the Police as I tended to drive it too fast most of the time.

Well, after all the modifications, my wife has been bugging me to grow-up and get a more "adult car" (I'm 47). I do have to admit that although the exhaust sound from the CPE downpipe and catback sounds great in agressive driving, it can get a little tiresome after a while.

Today the Speed6 is being traded in for a 2006 Audi A6 4.2 as I don't think
I could drive anything but an all-wheel drive car anymore. The 4.2 V8 engine in the Audi has good power but it's a heavy car and no match for the Speed6 as far as quickness. However, the Audi offers way more luxury and is a pleasure to drive and that's what I'm looking for right now.

So, I just want to take this opportunity thank those who have contributed to this forum with usefull information that helped me with my mod decisions. I wish you all the best and hope you enjoy your car - I'm going to miss mine.

Sucks when someone decides you are too old to have fun.

Best of luck with your Audi, a solid upgrade from the MS6. Hopefully it treats you good.

Haha, you know you're going to sneak a few mods in there too. I'm not sure about the current lineup, but I know the old A4's responded very well to flashed chips.

Good luck, and enjoy the new car.

Sounds like you should have traded the wife in. J/K

Total BS... The Mazda 6 is NOT an adult car?

I thought to say that, but didn't wanna go there. LOL. (second)

What kind of remark is that? The Mazdaspeed6 isn't an (ADULT CAR). Well what do you call it then.

I have a friend and his dad is 54 with a 2005 Infinity G35 6spd with Intake, cat-back exhaust and plenum spacer.

I don't get what an adult car is? If you're preferring a more luxury car than that's more Just (SUBJECTIVE)

I thougt about getting rid of the wife, but that would have cost WAY more the the Audi (he he). I do have to admit that I'm diggin the new car and I'm already thinking about some lowering springs and new wheels....there's no hope for me, I've modded every car I've ever owned.
