My FX is retiring.

Time for my FX to retire. I've enjoyed my FX since the end of January of 2005 when I got it new and it's been nothing but pleasure to drive it daily. Over the years; I took it to Englishtown and made a few passes, went to Pocono International Raceway for laps (amazing fun). LOTS of long road trips, nothing but compliments from even total strangers while I owned it, ran like a champ all these years and is still running strong.

But as often it happens in life, it's time for change. Recently a long time friend of mine who's been a fan of my FX from day one made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Btw, the reason why I say it's time for my FX to retire is that (unlike me-156K miles in 8 yrs) my friend and his family don't drive much, they put less than 1K miles on their car a year. They have an underground garage in their building so the FX will be nicely tucked away from the crazy NY weather. Best part is that they live exactly one block away from me and I was promised I could go and visit anytime :good:

To ease my pain I got myself a 2013 Audi S4...I think it's helping a bit
:tongue: I've been a member here for a long time and love it here, hopefully I won't get kicked out for not having an FX anymore. Already checked couple of Audi forums but I don't think I'll be spending much time there. One forum I decided to register is still trying to get my account activated, plus they don't seem to be very active. With that said, I'll add couple of silly iphone pics, hopefully I can convince aiya and soon to help me to take better pics. Will still be attending local meets if I'm allowed :smile (2):

Very nice audi bro. I was trying to get an audi very back late last year but ended up buying the G35 when I was looking for a second ride to throw in. I couldn't trust their reliability out of a warranty. Good luck with it bro:good:

how do you like it compared to the FX? If I were to choose another brand other than Infiniti I would choose audi. Mercedes are too luxury and BMW's are too sporty. I think Audi hits that sweet spot right in between like Infiniti does.
 
it's too late for april's fools brother... , I'll see it when I believe it buddy!
 
Bigturk is too Big for any audi TT

You need an FX !!!

Nice ride bro

Glad i got to catch you b4 u got a new ride!!!!
 
Sorry to see you go, but very nice choice on the new wheels.

In terms of Audi forums, I prefer Audizine over any of the others. It's no IS, but it's the best I've found. Maybe I'll see you over there.
 
A legend is retiring! Sat to see the FX go but looking forward to lots of fun in the S4.

*off topic BUT: finally able to have Photobucket to accept the original sizing photos when uploading, hate their new interface.
 
I looked into purchasing one of these.

but i was tired of the crampped interiors, high maintenance costs(e46 m3) and i wanted something that could carry my gear(baseball,mountain bike etc) without me crying if something got scratched. that is the main reason why i chose the fx35.
 
Nice, I've been looking at a couple s4's myself as a second ride because they are quick and AWD it's a win win.
