How's the DSG holding up? How many miles on it? I drove an 08 R32 and thought the shifting was very fun (like F1!) but seems like a weak link in the drivetrain.

Used to have a:
94 Dodge Viper
06 Dodge Viper
05 BMW 545 V8
then realized that I had grown up, have 2 kids, they didn't fit at once in the cars (notice I'm not even counting my wife and dogs yet), and the expense didn't make any sense. So all of them gone and I now have:
10 f350 Cabelas
04 Subaru Outback
68 Chevy truck
I had to get the f350 as I traded all the toys, but it was well worth it. The Subaru is my everyday driver and I carry all the sporting gear. It has no power, but I love it. The Chevy truck was sooooooo cheap and someone put a new motor and tranny that it is worth keeping.
The best thing: I have no car payment.
My wife has a Sienna and a 98 CRV with 160K she bought brand new.
A few years back when I had all the toys (so no f350 back then) we had a lot of snow and the CRV did great in the snow and ice.
Dream car: audi r8
