Like a rolling cloud (albeit a 445hp rolling cloud). I sprang for the Bang & Olufsen setup this time around, and it honestly sounds better than my home stereo does. Say whatever you like about humorless Germans, and I could say plenty, but they flat out know how to build cars.

Yea, they do depreciate more quickly than I would like, but part of my compensation package is a car allowance, so the firm is bearing the bulk of the cost for the car. What I personally have in the vehicle I more than recoup at trade.
Even if the firm wasn't reimbursing for the vehicle, sometimes it is worth it if you really enjoy the car.
My work provides a few hundred per month for the vehicle, not quite enough to get into a luxury car. I also don't make real good money. Even spending $25k is a bit much. I was thinking about spending less, but I don't want to hate the car.

Someday you got to check out Audi. The S8 is pretty respectable competition. Both great cars. Big, heavy, and powerful. Legacy= Big, heavy, gutless...lol

True. I'd buy the car anyway, but it's always better if you can do it with someone else's money.
Remember, you don't make real good money [yet]. You will, so enjoy the ride. You only get to go around once. Nobody ever carved "If only I'd had a little less fun" on their tombstone.
