Default Its amazing how much little changes in air pressure can effect this cars handling. I had 40psi all

around and the car oversteered like a rear wheel drive car. Then I reduced the rear air pressure by two PSI and the car was balanced and neutral. I really have to get used to this "all wheel drive " handling. My prior cars were powerful rear drivers (1987 IROC-Z) good handling front drivers (1994 Probe GT) and well balanced sedans Nissan Maxima (well sota well balanced). This car is incredible I especially love that 1.8sec 0-30 for that New York city traffic, no more yellow cabs cutting in front of me. Oh yeah and be careful when the temp is in the teens the stock tires SUCK.

Default It should be taken care of this week hopefully (optomistic).

Had to make a lot of phone calls and write one letter but that seemed to take care of the situattion. Now I have to get three estimates and submit them to their claims department this week. I hope Audi service is open tomorrow. This may have cost me more in losr work hours than it will cost ythem to fix it.
