It's not a surprise to see M go the turbo route. Audi's 4.2L V8 is one of the best engines in the world, but the S5 gets mileage in the teens. That kind of thinking just cant continue. The 3.0TFSI may not have the V8's exhaust note, but next year's S5 will be just as fast and handle better, with 24 or so mpg. Sounds win win to me. Considering how good BMW's TT I6 and V8's already are, imagine what the M versions would be like.

Great to hear from you again Designman.
 
You're like a family member of mine who surprisingly visits us every other Christmas or Thanksgiving gathering.
 
Hope we hear from you more often then just those two days. How about Easter Day or Columbus Day too?

I am assuming you can still find a bird that hasn't already been pardoned by the out-going Bush Administration
 
Thanks for the suggestion. In fact if you refer to the video clip below I already bought that Alaskan turkey that is behind Sarah Palin's head.

True but it's kind of a shame that in some future date all naturally aspirated perfomrance cars will be found only at vintage car dealer lots.

No way I could see a post from the D-man and not say "hello".
 
Hope things are good with you, and you are doing well.

Hey Dewey,
 
I am enjoying the second Thanksgiving this year. My recently won client is in Kansas City, yep the Mid West, so I had the Canadian Thanksgiving before heading over there, and now I get to take another TG long weekend. I like this one better since we get both Thu and Fri off. I wish I had stayed over in KS instead of coming back to the cold/wet Toronto.
On the topic of cars, it never felt so good driving my Lexi after three weeks of rental vehicle, a PT Cruiser. No wonder no one buys these junks, only the car rental companies. My RX drives and handles better than that POS
On the financial front, I hope the markets will continue this rally to at least surpass the damages done in the past three weeks. You were right on with the warning on C,.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I'm winding up my NYC visit tomorrow and there's so much to do here. I've got this last day to eat as much good food as possible and see a few more sights. The gals want to shop some more, which will only make my financial woes even more stressful, but compared to the big picture, it won't matter that much one way or another.
 
I am particularly prone to popping into a NY deli and grabbing a "snack"... in the form of a thick sandwich. We need these back in California... LOL. But, my waistline doesn't need them at all.
 
Lots of black Lincolns everywhere, in addition to the sea of taxi cabs. Buses and delivery trucks, and not that many privately owned passenger cars. So different than California.
 
People alao dress differently and are more serious and much less patient. But, overall, New Yorkers are a nice bunch. I'll definately come back one day... when the weather is warmer.
