Default My Father's Day gift :)

OK - so it wasn't really a Father's Day gift but I did get it on Father's Day! Might be tough to beat that next year

It's a Quartz Grey, P+, 6MT, 18" Sport Package, Exhaust tips and Ceramic Tint 35% all round.

I freakin love driving this thing. I had my heart set on an S4 but once I got the chance to drive this one in stick and learned about the warranty-friendy in-house Stasis mods available this was a no-brainer. I plan to at least do the Stasis ECU flash sometime early next year and who knows after that. It makes a nice stable-mate to the wife's A3 S-Line I think

Only "mods" so far are vag-com : Gauge sweep, comfort windows and hazards on braking.

Thanks. The color was one of the things that really surprised me. I didn't like the look of it online and had totally dismissed it as an option. I really just went to test drive it to see if I liked the transmission. In person the color looked great so the rest is history. Easiest deal in history - 10 mins to negotiate the price and we were done. I highly recommend Audi Chandler. I paid 1k over invoice and got above KBB for my '08 Jetta Wolfsburg trade. I got another $1500 loyalty incentive so I was happy with that. Dunno if I could have gotten it for less but I was happy so I went for it. Just in time too as it turned out. Literally within a few minutes of agreeing the price my salesman got a call from another guy who had looked at it a few days earlier saying he wanted to come in and buy it. Too slow Joe

Nice! P+ w/ Sports Package is the sweetspot IMHO. What's the other Audi in your stable?

Lovely. I would likely have gotten virtually the same car if the dealer's had it in stock when I was getting a new car in May. Sports package is very hard to get and the dealer that had one (different color) said because of the demand he could sell a sports package A4 near MSRP. Beautiful car - Quartz is amazing, had it in my '06 A4 - enjoy!

The other one is an A3 S-Line. That one is a blast too!
