Audi RS5!

I got a call last night saying that there is an RS5 in blue sitting at the dealership unclaimed and available for sale.

Tempting!

But I decided to stay with my S5 because I have better brakes (Brembo), and better looking brakes, and it would be a hassle to switch them over to the new RS5.  There's not *that* much difference between my car and the RS5, except the extra few horsepower, the pushbutton start, and a handful of other minor differences that I can live without.  And, the blue is a bit bright for my preferences right now.

It's really just another shiny object, a toy, a distraction...

Consider the wise words of 
 Henry David Thoreau:  A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.
