Must be very exciting. Mind you, the break is good every now and then otherwise the car can lose it's special feeling unless you mod something every month.

I agree. I get to drive a number of company cars, the new Falcons, Focus, Lancer, Hyundai (Sonata and I30), Nissin Tida and Toyotas.

I still enjoy the ride and 'feel' of the AU.

I have driven many vehicles, not just including my own... i couldnt even figure out the amount, but i know its in the hundreds by now...

Driven a few different models of Commodores and still dont like any of them... lol!

Not trying to offend, but I probably will, just seems to be a slight lack of reality for alot of people on here lately.
A bog stock series 2 povo pack, stock ride height and live axle in my opinion handles about as well as a boat, power from the stock windsor is almost as impressive as a 20 year lod ride on mower I once owned, seats aren't great but they aren't the worst, but the feel of the steering (lightness) is tops.
All up I can't see anyone thinking they are the nicest car to drive, after spending a small fortune replacing all the suspension components, driveline changes and adding boost I love driving my au but still wouldn't even rate it in the top 10 cars I have driven, maybe top 10 cars I have driven that I can afford to own?

But anyone who knows you knows it isn't because the au drives better, just that you are cheap, you must preffer the running cost

Yeh, can't say I like AUs much. Would never own one, let alone drive one. Oh that's right, i think i've had a half dozen of them and loved every single one.
