Oil burnin' hauler - wife's new DD
We said good-bye to Rachael's Mini on Thursday last week, so I flew out to Ohio on Saturday and picked up a new(used) car!

It is a 2011 Audi A3 TDI. It has 22k miles on it. It has the premium plus, cold weather, and convince package. It is a really nice car. I averaged 43 mpg on the way home, going 70-80mph. We have some minor power/visual mods planned for it, but nothing crazy, just plan on driving it!

Nice pickup! I love the VAG A5 platform... so stable.

Thanks guys! We are really happy with it so far. I'll get some inside pics soon. It needs a few things (like carpet floor mats, tint....) that will be coming soon.

If you get something figured out let me know. I have a friend that wants tint as well.

I smell a Tint Pros tint day in the near future. Call these guys, setup a day and they will come out and take care of all of the cars they can. They do great work!

Once the bean is running, it too needs tint.

That's the plan, they work with my cousin's shop occasionally. But I will start a thread.

Did you get navigation?

Started a little work on the Audi this weekend. Got it tinted at 20% all around. Its a "Wagon" so the back is legal, the fronts are too bad with the sunroofs and windshield. It looks nice though. The interior stayed much cooler with the sun out this weekend.

Great choice, that car is super sexy! And that mpg! Incredible. Was it hard to find a diesel version of this car?

Depends on how picky you are! If you are picky about miles, hids, and interior or exterior color you most likely have to travel. There are a couple in the cities, here and there, but most are either higher miles or over priced.
