Sajeev and Steve:
I am currently cruising through all four Canadian seasons in my 2008 6MT Audi S5. Could be worse, I know. The car is owned by Audi Finance, and apparently they want it back at the end of November – something about the lease term coming to an end.

In Audi’s corner: the S5 coupe.

Two months ago I wrote about the rather bizarre manner in which the drooling idiots of the world reacted to my Audi S5 and the eBay auction of same. Here are some of my favorite comments:
How to spoil a good looking car with a cheap paint job! Boak!!
looks very cheap and shitty in that stupid green
oh no no no no..it looks like the ugky duckling of a grass patch
While you guys are sitting idle saying “do not want” I’ll wait for this car to drop in price then buy it and paint it a respectable color.
Looks like a watermelon on wheels….this is going to be a tough sell.
Were they correct?
