    Thank you John. I don`t believe my next car will sport the roundel. I`d like to try something different. But E39 M5`s in Imola are some of the best looking cars of all time!

    LOL, I`m sad because I`ll have to wait a while to replace it. Just not sure with what...

    Thanks George, I started missing it real bad yesterday. Then I got to thinking I have two+ years of researching and test drives to come up with a worthy replacement, and that cheered me up a bit.

    Mikenap, I do feel for you as well and your topic reflects how I would feel if I had to give my EOS away.



    Hang in there and built up the experience of owning a new and exciting ride further down the line. I love Caymans from the Porsche line up (moreso after Brad`s ovation ). I hope you end up with one.

    I want a BMW for my next car. I`m driving around in an old 99 Civic, haha. Strangely...I don`t mind having an older car. Cause honestly...it would drive me nuts to see my NICE car all dirty. I`d spend more time on my own, than my customers, ha.



    Sharp looking ride though...you keep that paint clean! It`s like a pet...you miss them until they`re replaced, lol.

    I too have had to let go of an M3. It leaves quite the void in your heart but it can always be replaced. I`ve owned a few STI`s among others as well, and had to sell due to priorities. Being responsible is hard but always worth it.

    Keep your head up man. The fact that you have your priorities in order will lead to good things in the future.

    Thanks for the support! Right now a Cayman is probably at the top of the list, but I`m a good 2 years from any purchase so a lot can change in that time.

    LOL, that`s the second time I`ve heard the pet analogy.

    I actually considered an STi before getting the M, an 04-05 model. The wife put the brakes on that real quick, she didn`t like the interior at all. Too much blue. But I was always left wondering what I missed out on. I still think those first STi`s have the best styling.
