Well thanks guys. I'm not buying it for a race car. On the hwy non stop. But yes the Audi does handle well. I'm going to drive it tomorrow he came down a grand already. He's in the wrong market for this car. I'll look at the BMW tonight on line. Wrx yes there cool but not many around for sale. They hold there value well. I got my cash for the vibe so I have to spend it tomorrow. Time is not on my side. I left another clue in beginning of this thread and you gear heads all read past it. Only Yt knows what's going on.

Congrats going forward.!!!. yep read past it.. my brain started hurting at Mini Cooper.

Other than Subaru as I said I like the Audi.. hopefully it fits the need on your new career commute.. bad timing for your transportation to go down but an awd in your future is probably a good thing in your new travels.

Waiting to hear more!

I didn't find your driver BB but a most definitely found A7's.

The interior was built from a Boeing 707. Even the seat and oxygen mask. Look at the shifter. And front bumper.

I like the top one. This was one of my favorites from Barrett. It had a 572 and it went for $140k
It's the one I would say if I had the money I would :-)

Just made it home. 2009 Audi A3 Quattro 2.0 turbo
Runs great seems to handle snow good with directional tires but can't stop worth a dam. Thank god for awd or it would have been a longer ride home.
It's very quiet inside, the stereo sounds good, I have no idea how it really handles or what kind of power it has.
I need to pick up a extra set of snow tires and rims as these are not going to work.
Max says it looks like the vibe but as if someone pulled it on one end to stretch it.
And 29mpg coming home At 63mph.
Happy so far.:-)

Congrats bigblockpower on the new job and the Audi!

Lookin' good brutha.

...and yes Ytmsn, I could see myself drivin' that "707" truck with my dog duke hangin' out the passenger side window slobbering up the side on a sunny June summer day.

Ahhhh, life is good. :D 8-)
