Plus warranty just expired in June, so I figured its a decent time to sell it without worry about whats going to break next.

Now im spoiled and wont be happy with probably anything I end up with. haha

Cheaper DD and a project car down the road is the plan for now. The used car market sucks out there right now too. booo

Were you driving on 694 today around 4:30pm? If so, the car is looking unbelievably good! I've always loved the looks of this year.

Re: Project Owdee

Soo I picked this up yesterday. Looked around so hard at stupid cars under 15k, and this one came in way below that, so I couldnt pass it up. Dont mind the Benz paper mats, I didnt get it from a dealer, the guy just worked at one.

You can't use the same thread for a different car, that's cheating!

Re: Project Owdee

No sport package but it has the 17" wheels. I dont plan to do anything to it really besides maybe some silverstar bulbs, tint possibly and a trailer hitch/roof rack. It will need new tires for winter, Ill probably go with Continental All season DWS'.

Should be a good dd for sure!

Re: Project Owdee

We have the DWS on Becca's Audi, work great in the summer, rain, and winter is pretty good. Overall a good tire for All season duty. Only winter issue is the low ground clearance, but that is what my truck is for (those days we get over 1' of snow in one shot and the roads aren't plowed, just take the truck instead). If you get snow packed under the Audi, you are going nowhere.
