I had to leave my car with a mechanic yesterday for valve gasket change... and drove my mom's 2000 Buick Century Limited for a day. God... with that super soft spring....I felt like I was on a boat and for a first time, I almost had a car sick.Today, I picked up the car and I was so happy to see my car.. made me shed tears of joy! The shop only charged me $450 since the guy was like a big brother to me, I'm so happy!

I was ferrying several cars around in the last week;

02 Turbo S200004 WRX STI72 469 ci Buick

Each had their fun points, none of which made me feel as near comfortable or confident as when I got back in my Q.

Well, I have to affirm these experiences. I am always thinking of getting a civic or something for my short urban trips, then I drive another car and I just go back and worship my Q45. The cars that are as good or better cost 2 to 3 times as much, minimum.

I agree with everyone. I drove my fiance's 2004 Chevy Aveo the other night and couldn't wait to get back into my Q. When I got into her car and put the key into the ignition, I was shocked that the steering wheel didn't move on it's own. Then I remembered that it wasn't my Q. It's very weird to drive another car when you're so used to a Q car.

I'l drive 50-100 cars a day at Walmart, 99.9% of them are far cheaper feeling than a Q45. Every part of the interior, doors, hood mechanisms, you name it.
