I drive both graphites most of the time. She will take either one when my son had her car, and I think she prefers the SRT6 because it is an automatic and she doesn't have to mess with a convertible top which I always leave down. She can drive the mixer, but has a bad knee and prefers not to.
Son turned 18 in May. He was planning on using his summer earnings for a motorcycle but I got him to pony up 26% of the car price instead. It's "far cooler" than a bike according to him....I would hope so. The daughter (16 3/4) just got a 2003 A4 3.0 MT6 as a reward for straight As the last 2 years. That's it though - the wad is shot and they have to keep these running and clean for 5-6 years. Or get their own jobs and pay for replacements.
While a 3 stall garage helps, I will have to look for local storage for the two graphites this winter. That still leaves 4 cars to share 3 bays and my wife and I already claimed two permanently. I told the teens to figure out a sharing arrangement else they can both park outside and I'll bring the roadster home for the winter!
Hmmm. Maybe I'll come across a graphite SRT6 vert with low miles...???
