      A while back, roughly a year into my apprenticeship, and a year following my divorce, I needed a more reliable and economical vehicle. I like hatches. So, I settled on a base model Veloster. Although, it was quite, shall we say, under-powered, it had a 6-speed manual and was pretty fun to drive. It grew on me. Recently, after years of trying to get more out of her than she was able to give, that 6-speed gave out. 😃 The repairs were going to cost nearly the value of the car. I wasn't having any of that. So, it was time for another, with a bit more power, this time. In my heart, I sooooo wanted the Veloster N. But, with a daughter reaching her teen years, and the need for a daily commuter, I felt something a little more practical was in order. I went with the fully loaded Turbo Ultimate. All the creature comforts, and a 7-speed DCT automatic(with paddles). Not quite the hot hatch the N is, but fun nonetheless. My new whip…..

      Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

          Hardest choice I'd ever have to make… But probably Lancia as well...

            This is a hard choice for me. The Zed 06 is paid for the leased S4 is 640.00 a month. I give it back in July…..one less decision in morning after that .

              OK.  Made my decision.  in part massively influenced by the fact that it is being end-of-lifed, so BMW are offering dealers massive incentives, so leasing one is super cheap. It's also as fast as a stock 911 to 0-60mph….
