I want that Delorean model...looks sweet. Yeah Hermiod, I have wanted the hardcover omnibus when it first came out last year but these paperpack versions are the next best thing and the second volume is coming out at the end of August.

Fortunately between the townhome association's insurance and my homeowners things should be taken care of - eventually!
Yeah, I heard that. Not quite sure what I think about biturbos. On one hand, it saves a fuel I guess, on the other, it's not a V8 and I suspect reliability may be a bit dodgy (it always used to be on the B5-era S4s which were biturbos).
Anyway, I got my car back today (just in time b/c I need it for a business trip) and the lovely service manager was able to put all the radiator investigation and replacement work they did under my extended warranty! She will be getting a present this Christmas I think, or at least a great bit of customer feedback from me to the dealership's overall manager! The investigation alone would have cost me over £400, then the cost of the replacement and its fitting... I'm guessing the total would have been close to £700+. But she managed to get it all done under warrant; I'm glad I bothered to buy it when my manufacturer's one expired. Only had to pay about £20 for a few other odds & sods that needed doing. Result!

You're making me sound a whole lot knowledgeable about cars than I actually am.
Not that that's a bad thing...
Well, judging on the new 2.0 turbos that they put in all sorts of VAG cars the new 3.0 turbo should be pretty reliable. Because the reliability of the 2.0T is leaps and bounds ahead of the old 1.8T and 2.7T.

As for a V6 turbo vs. a V8, I'd usually pick the V8 for many reasons (better sound, better low end grunt, I'm generally not a fan of turbos).
Anyway, good to hear about the great service you got from your dealer.
Speaking of having to get a car repaired, I was quite an "interesting" experience about a month ago actually. I was driving down the highway doing about 180km/h (110mph) and all of a sudden I hear this weird noise coming from the engine compartment. I look through my rear view mirror and there's white smoking coming out of the car. So I slowed down, the noise stopped and the AC stopped working. I knew right away it had to be the AC compressor (it's a common problem on '06 and '07 VWs). Anyway, I drove home without a problem (luckily I could put the top down 'cause it was pretty warm) and then took it to the dealer the next day. I was right, it was the AC compressor. Luckily the car is still under warranty, so they replaced the compressor and the AC radiator/cooler/whatever you call it. So yeah, I got pretty lucky 'cause my warranty expires at the end of June.

I bought apple sauce and chicken soup for my upset stomach. 
I wanted to buy these:
Or these:
Or these (in white):
Alas, the (glorious) first pair is $345 -- more than a bit ridiculous since I rarely wear heels so high. I may just let myself choose one of the second two, though.

/votes for the red roses, even if they are flats.

I also vote for the reddies but then red is my favorite color.
My latest purchases was sushi for lunch.
