Goodbye New Audi

(click to enlarge)

If you can see the look on my face in this picture, it tells the whole story. It was taken a few minutes after I kicked the door open. My right turn signal is still on.

After an incredibly unnecessary month and a half long battle, I finally got the check from State Farm. I came out a few dollars above even, which is slightly better than I had hoped for.

That'll be the last Audi in my garage for the foreseeable future.

My new Honda Civic is being built this week at the new plant in Indiana. While I'll miss the all wheel drive, stick shift, and 255 HP, the new Civic gets 36 MPG, has a bunch of cool little toys, and is less than HALF the monthly payment.

My plan is to get a toy car in a few years. I'll be ready for my mid-life crisis by then.
