Dude.   I figured something cool was coming out of your other thread about buying a car.  Didn't know it was gonna be this glorious.

 

Awesome.

I will get mine eventually. A trusted advisor said to "buy something for Mama first, and make it something special, so she knows that you know that you wouldn't be where you are without her."

Next time your wife swings through GR have her take me for a ride.  

Way back say 15ish years ago a fella stopped and asked if he could buy me E30 M3, or trade for his RS6 Avant, neither happened, but I always wondered.

Have you had the go pedal to the wood yet?

Allegedly. Can only use WOT for a few seconds at a time. 0 to 60 in 3.3 sec, 50 to irresponsible in about 5.

These are sickenly cool. They're almost cartoonish in their proportions. In a good way. It's like a functional hot wheels car. Congrats!

Nothing exciting to report, just some proper floor protection. Got the optional bumper protector flap as well.

AW absolutely loves this car, and I can't find fault in that. It is a really nice car.

Today I turned a wrench on the Rowdy Audi. OK, not a wrench really, just a T20 Torx driver. Before:

and after:

Thanks to Gearheadotaku for the exploded diagram, made me less nervous about berkeleying it up.

I also asked AW what she's gonna do if the Check Engine light comes on:

Well with 21x10.5" wheels you have to move some things inward!

Rowdy hit 15k yesterday. We reset all the counters at purchase, so AW is averaging 19.1 mpg in her mixed driving that is probably pretty close to 50% city.
