Oh, and a quick question. Do you by chance have a hott 20-22 Yr old single sister?

 

Best suggestion yet. If you're not going to need the car for several years, let your money work for you while you don't need it. You may find that by the time you go to buy, you'll have found something you want much more than an Audi (yes, it can happen). None of us knows what will be released in the time between now and then, and there may be something you find far more attractive and less expensive to boot.

 

Well if he does that, then I volunteer to keep the car company and properly running the whole time he's gone

 

Funny, you even talk like a West Point cadet already... you'll do fine there

 

Thanks for the input guys. I plan on investing some of the money. I've had verbal commitments from my mom to pay for a fair sum of the car as a reward.

A post on a bmw forum in response to the same one I made here gave me a pretty good idea. If I wish I could pick a deloyment to germany, italy or South korea (a hell tour.) While over seas I could buy the car in Germany and Italy for much cheaper than the U.S. (especially since I think the luxury tax is going to increase with the new democrat congress.) Buy the car overseas and just take the hit shipping it back to the states. Hopefully I wont lose the extra power foreign cars get due to the freaking U.S. environment standards (DAMN YOU AL GORE!!!!!!).
