greetings

My name is Eric. I am a die hard euro car auto junkie who has always had a passion for great design and great performance. I have primarily owned Porsches, BMW and Audi's.

Currently in a Cayenne Turbo, Panamera 4S and next week, a Fisker Karma.

Have always had an Audi R8 in the garage the last 3 years and am missing it something fierce. Looking for a new ride to enjoy. So far, between a 430 and 612. The only appealing thing about the 612 vs the 430 to me is the ability to share it with my 3 and 6 year old girls

I'm just a regular guy who finances his cars and pays his bills on time, so writing a check for a 458 is out of the question I am also an Army Reserve officer who specializes in space operations and communications.

Would be looking at a low $100k's car in good shape but miles are ok. I plan on driving it too, so what's wrong with a few miles. I also think I'd really prefer staying with a stick. I've had paddles on the M5, 335 and Panny, but miss the analog feel of the gated shifter on the R8.

Planning on lurking for a while and going after one in a few months. We'll see how the Karma shakes out. One of the 4 door cars is bound to go to make room for a new sports car!

thanks....E
