Congrats! Best of luck with it.

I do have to warn you of some potential problems, however. You will have problems with other people staring at your car...and getting that $hit-eating grin off your face, after you've been driving it, is next to impossible.

Already acknowledged both of these facts on my ride home. Getting the windows tinted Monday hopefully hiding the grin..

Default can you give us a ballpark figure of what you paid after taxes?

I got quoted 49k for a fully loaded A5 with sport package...
Im trying to figure out if I should get the S5 or A5 s-line

I went with the fully loaded A5 as I like gadgets and this thing is FULL of buttons. I'm in my car alot so I need something that would appeal to me inside. Plus it still has a nice pep and I plan to get the turbo tuned eventually.

Looks awesome! Mine is supposed to be here Monday, and I am literally going nuts waiting. Mine will be an A5 Premium Plus with Nav, Monsoon gray, black interior, potato peelers (Good thing I like em anyway - I placed the order with my dealer 6 months ago before I'd have any idea what they'd look like).

I'm a little nervous about the break in period. I know you're not supposed to sit at a constant speed early on. The car only has about 35miles on it and I'm supposed to take it to the shore tomorrow which is about an hour stretch on the expressway. Any pointers?

Congrats! I think you'll be happy with the Monsoon Gray.
It looks great and is easy to keep clean.
Enjoy,
Mike
