Good news and okay news (20K service related)
<b>Good News first..</b>
I am an uncle. My brother and sis-inlaw still haven't decided on a name. This is mostly due to religious beliefs. They are waiting on the Pundit, he will let them know what letter her name should start with. Both are in the hospital till Sunday. My Sister inlaw is weak, she had a C-Section, but otherwise mommy and baby are doing fine.
Its a girl
She was born yesterday, Feburary 5th, 2003 @ 12:31PM EST
She weighed in at a healthy 7lbs 15ozs
She was 19 inches long
She is adorable and very receptive, so my mom says. I want to hold her but don't want to get her sick, I am just getting over my cold. I will get to see her Saturday, through a window though.
Here are some pics. Pics are bit dark, the flash would make the baby squint so......
Pictures are hosted at WestCoastTT site, many thanks Scott.

<b>Now the OKAY news.</b>
I got my car back from the dealer.
Here is the list of things I asked them to look at/fix and the answers underneath them.
1)20k Service
I didn't mention it to them, as its on the list of things to do. It was performed.
2)Handbrake Release button flew and hit the windshield.
Fixed, replaced release button.
3)Dead Radio
Checked and replaced Fuse.
Checked and replaced Radio
4)Bad DV
Replaced 710N valve
5)Vehilce pulls to the left. It always has from day one. (Funny response)
Car needs 4 new tires and an alignment
6)Seat creaks, very loudly, espeically when its cold outside. Typical answer
NPF. Vehicle operating to Manf. specs.
7)Transmission grinds going from 1st to 2nd, especially when its cold outside. (This has become a huge problem for me since its been da*n cold outside here in the NE. The syncro is going to go anyday now)
Roadtested car. Found trans shifts smooth in all gears. Operating to manf. specs
8)Low fuel economy. (I use to get 350 on Highway and 300 City with my original FS Units. They've since been replaced with A6 FS Units and the mileage has gone down to 250 city and 275 Higway)
NPF. Vehicle operating to Manf. specs.
9)HVAC unit makes horrible buzzing noise, maybe electrial related.
NPF. Vehicle operating to Manf. specs.
10)Windows drop down when arming the car
NPF. Vehicle operating to Manf. specs.
11)Spare keys work intermittently
Coded all keys
12)Right rear of car makes noise, only happens when making sharp right hand turns.
(answer according to the dealer)
Roadtested found bang in rear of car reset muffler heat shield roadtested bang gone.
13)Replace wipers
Replaced wiper inserts
I picked up my car Saturday morning. I opened and the door, only to see nothing but MUD inside my car. I complained to the "sales manager" and the response was "give me a heads up next time your car is in for anything". I explained to him that I never treat my car like this. That AUDI shouldn't either, after all its not my car its theirs. Then he asks me "you going to TT-East?". I said no that I won't be able to go this year.
So an okay service I'd say. But maybe I expected too much for them to keep my car clean, especially on the inside. This is what I told the manager: "I come in nicely, with no attitude, expecting my car be taken care of. I've not taken my car anywhere else and everytime I come in expecting that maybe, just maybe, this time you will treat me and my car in a professional manner. But somehow your dealership never seem to disappoint me and my expectations". I got in my car and left.
