No worries Austin, I already own this car so its not a big deal. I probably wasn't 'meant' to buy your car anyway.

Thanks Mike I'll try and head up to mountains next week...I already like this whole quattro thing. Unfortunately it doesn't really stop any better but normal driving is pretty nice. Actually, I can disable my ABS if I want to...thats pretty cool.

Aight Brad no problem, the car wasn't "meant" for me either, just doesn't have the pep as the contour did. You like the quattro? I personally am not a huge fan of it, I think it sucks that if you drop the clutch it just bogs down and you can't get the tires to break lose, I wanna feel whatever power the car has, but highway speeds are insane!! Way better than what the Contour could achieve, I think the speedo goes up to 160 I heard that it can get there I don't know if I wanna find out. Oh well good luck with the Audi, if you know of anybody that want's a good 90 send them my way.

I have to like the quattro because it came in handy just in time last week! At one point on my way home last Saturday I was getting annoyed with the CDOT plow truck at the front of traffic because he was going so slow and no one would pass him. As for the top speed, I'll have to wait until I get some wider lower profile z-rated tires to attempt that. My buddy in OK has a 'slightly' modified 01 Jetta 1.8t that he cruised beyond 150 on his last visit up here. He said he didn't realize he was going that fast because it was frighteningly stable! Now thats sweet!

This Audi is pretty cool though, it has options my tour never did that I would have liked. Like heated seats and a ski bag through the trunk. The really cool thing is the computer display between my tach and speedo. I have a toggle switch on my wiper stalk that switches through displaying miles to empty, mpg, average speed, trip time and turbo boost(in bar)and something else that I forget. There is also a car monitoring system that will indicate if my brake light(s) go out or if I'm out of wiper fluid, etc. If I have no warnings though the radio station I'm listening to will show in that display with the band and freq...which kinda sucks because I hate the radio.

Brad- You know what? I've been looking at germans lately as well. No plans for about 2 years, but I'm leaning to an M3. Brand new of course. I priced one the other day, 2004 Imola Red w/red Napa leather, premium package, 19's, heated seats and a thing or two else. $60,000.

I test drove one of those with my friend this summer...maybe it was '03 I forget. Had the SMG tranny and many options on it. Very nice. $60K was about what my friend is looking at with everything said and done. After seeing what my Audi had in 90 and what new domestics have in '04 I doubt I'll ever go back. My roomates brand new Trailblazer has been back to the dealer twice since she got it. Its maybe 7-8 months old.

My dad's 02 Sierra has been in and out of the shop so much he has a very close relationship with some high ups in GM. My 02 Silverado, bought a month after my dad got his, has only been in the shop for oil changes.

It just depends.

I really hope that I get stationed in the EU so I can sample some Alfa Romeo's, BMW's and Audi's.

So...where are the pictures?
