Default Finally out on the open road - Now with Pics!

Today, I'm driving from Houston to New Orleans to attend a class on the Tulane Univ. campus. This will be the first time I've had the A5 out on the open road for a long trip. I'm sure it will be stupendous. I'll be sure to post some pics from the trip...

I know it's not some high Swiss mountain pass, but it'll be fun.

Default Trips Over.. a few notes

Drove from Houston to NOLA and back. Both trips I averaged 29 MPG on the highway at about an average speed of 68-71 mph. The ride was super dooper smooth (barring the construction areas) and the car is VERY comfortable to drive for 4 hours 43 minutes straight. Went the whole way (354 miles) with room to spare after starting with a full gas tank. Very nice indeed. I don't seem to have the vibration issues that others have.
