Default Yeah, that's me, "Mr. BigTime" LOL :-)) Funny how all my other "ordered: cars that had me...

...waiting 3-months didn't have this affect on me. Well, still driving an Audi, so life's still grand on the road.

Default Wow, great combo of options. It will be awesome.

The wait can be excruciating. I ordered mine on Oct. 1 and received it mid-February. I will be keeping this one for a while but will be tempted to trade for an S8 in the future.

Default The value of working long hours....

is that it can make the wait seem a bit shorter. I was on the road 2 of the 3 months while Moontan was on order. Keeping busy definitely helped.

Hang in there!

Default Oh, Summer's one of my busiest seasons, so no problem there. I still find myself...

...getting itchy when I see a a D3 on the street. Oh well, I can spend the next couple of months going back-and-forth with the dealer until we're finalized the DEAL. ;-)

This may sound weird, but I miss the pain of waiting for my new car.
