Ordered on September 18 of last year, I picked up my new Audi e-tron after work today. Thus far it has met my expectations and should help make my 2+ hours of commuting each day a little more tolerable (think front seats with built in massage function).
My very first car, a Triumph Spitfire, was also blue although that would be hard to figure out from the black and white photos which remain. With every new car purchase I pause to reflect on my former cars and their significance to me. Here is the list in chronological order.
- Triumph Spitfire (blue) ; first love
- Triumph GT6 (yellow) ; second love
- Alpha Romeo Spyder (white) ; first true love
- Alpha Romeo GTV (red) ; spare parts for above
- Porsche 944 (red) ; first properly engineered car
- Porsche 944 (black) ; more of a good thing
- Nissan 300 ZX Turbo (red) ; the summer fling
- Lexus SC 300 (gray) ; first grown up car, hated it
- Mercedes SL 500 (green) ; passion reignited
- Mercedes ML 320 (silver) ; first family car
- Audi A3 (silver) ; my second true love
- Audi Q5 (silver) ; my off road darling
- SmartCar (blue) ; first attempt at social responsibility
- BMW i3 (orange) ; my electric mistress, forever a convert
- Audi e-tron (blue) ; TBD
