I'm amazed I was able to find a pic of each car in pretty much the same exact setting and position. Not sure who took the time to do that.
Sounds like a potential dfd-er.

The problem with Audi is this:

A3:

A4:

A6:

A8:

I don't disagree, but, i like the styling and proportions of the A3 more than the small Mercedes, the CLA or whatever it's called.
I like the CLA, but at least partly because see far fewer of them

I guess you could include the 4-series grand sport here too, it's about the same size.
Poision? Is that some creole thing?

What about the c43 or a c450?

Dry. The rain stopped. The floor drains kept it from getting more than an inch deep or so.

Drywall soaked up to about 2 or 3 inches. Told my wife we should just buy taller trim and fugitaboutit.

We'll know more about solutions after appointments next Tuesday night
Thats a good idea

Dumpy ass disease.

It's not a good looking vehicle.

There is one in my hood. I'm not a fan of the styling. It's not terrible but not what I'd pick. Grille and headlights are comically big, back end is droopy, interior is solidly meh compared to the C class. :iono:

I bet it drives alright though and would be entertaining. I also don't hear much about these breaking down so I guess they're decently built.

I worked from home yesterday, so I didn't get to see my boss, but she just came up to me and was like "I spoke to [CTO] and he is going to speak to [CEO]. I didn't forget about you, just wanted to let you know." :)

You asked which mid-sized sedan I'd take.
I answered.

I'm so tired of being grilled on my preferences.

There isn't much in the current Mercedes line-up I'm really :dong: over.

Other than the AMG GT.

There are a few, not sure which ones are extra if ordering it new.

I really like the S3's styling and as [user not found] said about the proportions. I might be biased doe. ImageImageImage

Received my annual self-review worksheet. Meeting scheduled with my boss for March 14th so need to get it done before then. I had a good chat with her yesterday about future goals and stuff. I was told I still have room in my current gig for both learning and pay, so I'm almost thinking I chill here for a bit more and see what comes up. There is one position that will be opening up that I could apply for, but I'm not sure if I want to go for it. Being good at too many things sucks; I have no direction on which way I want to go.

All raises go into effect on April 1st. :lol:
