Well, I pulled the trigger. Spent my max budget, but I will have a car with a warranty to 100k miles or 2020.
2015 Audi A4 Premium Plus 2.0T quattro 6-spd. with Technology Package, Bang & Olufsen, Sport Package, Sport Plus Package, and S-Line Competition Package in Daytona Grey Pearl and the Leather/Alcantara interior.
I am buying sight unseen from Florida (unaffected by the hurricane) and negotiated shipping to MI in the price. I will upload pictures once I get the car in a week or two. I never thought I'd get a car with so many gizmos, but ESC can be shut off completely and it has no other driver aids (i.e. lane keeping, auto braking, etc.).
I haz the happy! 
She has arrived!!! I'm still getting used to the size compared to my Golf. And all the gizmos in it. I got most everything set up tonight with my phone. Still a lot to learn. I had the car delivered to an Audi/Porsche dealer that I have a friend at who does Porsche sales. He was able to take delivery for me and keep it until I could pick it up today. He has never seen an A4 with these options and manual transmission. He seriously thinks there were less than 5 in this configuration made. He was going to see if he could actually look up production numbers. I'm stoked and can't wait to enjoy my new big boy car :)
Wow that is a sharp car. I look forward to reliability reports.
Time is a very valuable resource. Possibly this will sound very pathos, but now I don’t even have time to play a normal game. [instead I have to canoe all the time].

A bigger turbo and a retune on your current car.
Whoops. Missed the boat. By 5 years.
In reply to noddaz :
You missed the boat as it turned into a canoe.
