Grand Enigma Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Brent was talking about himself.... Though, personally, I think he is already tinted enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Went to my first Cars and Coffee in the area this morning. This is the lower end one while Saturday morning is the multi-million dollar car C&C in McLean. This might be the last of these though as the police showed up as so many hotrod douchebags were burning out when leaving the parking lot so the police said no more, after many years of this event occurring here.

MexicanDragon Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Awesome, Jeff! FWIW, that blue S4 with the black wheels is pretty much what I consider "perfect." Looks like a pretty nice show. Loving all the Audi love. **BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Saw a Red Golf R pass by on the walk to work today. That car just looks and sounds so much better than the S4 as it passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Wut? Sounds better, possibly, looks better? Not a chance. I saw two S4's this weekend and reminded my wife that at some point one will be parked in our driveway again. I'm actually trying to talk to an indie mechanic this week to get a feel for options for non-dealer service. Gotta plan ahead, doncha know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 I prefer the looks of the Golf R myself. And sound is not a competition as the S4 makes no sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Just put on my custom Audi car cover as I will be traveling for a bit. What a massive piece of $300 shit. Tissue paper that does not fit well and will maybe last 3 weeks. Should have gotten one of the online custom covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 No not really. Audi dealer was pretty disappointed when I told them how boring I think the S4 is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raffy Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Jeff, I'll trade you my GTI, my beer collection, 1/4 bottle of Pappy 20, Rolex Explorer II and a little cash for your S4 ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Raffy, it is entirely possible I will get too bored with this and sell it off to get something nicer. I tend to waste a lot of money buying things trying to be sensible instead of just getting something worthwhile from the beginning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Jeff, glad to see you are coming to your senses. Will you accept delivery in MI? Your choice to drive through Canada or "Canada". Though I would argue NY is more "Canada" than PA, they accept Canadian currency on government roads and in gas stations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I'm with Nate. The S4 looks so much better than the Golf R. I keep looking at the A4 (since I can't afford/justify the S4). The A4, especially with the S-Line package looks nearly as nice and costs a lot less. If speed is a must you can tune the Audi 2.0T to very respectable levels of power without much risk of damage. Most would argue that something in the low 200's doesn't require that but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellylh Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I definitely don't need as much speed as the stock would have. I really need to get out and test drive one some time. I've just been too busy. If I don't get the A4 Quattro or BMW 328i, I'll probably just end up with another ever so boring but reliable Honda Accord v6.

I tend to waste a lot of money buying things trying to be sensible instead of just getting something worthwhile from the beginning. APR tune with upgraded pulley and a better exhaust should help. Then again if being exciting is getting the rear end loose in a corner, then you might be in trouble. M division and AMG have a cure for that.

VPI Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Yeah, tuning would help, but each of those things would end my 50,000 mile warranty as soon as it made an appearance at the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) Trying to figure out the worthwhile changes for the Vag com thing. Most of the non-lighting things from the list already happen on my car. (Reverse mirror tilt, guage sweep, etc.). Everything else seems to just be changing how the lights work. Several others I have to research as I have no idea what the acronyms mean. Any recommendations on must haves from this list? The parking assist turn off time is biggest for me as the backup camera stays on way too long after you put it in drive and take off. Disable After-wipe of windscreen wipers Disable amber corner lights Disable amber side markers Disable Key warning (keyless models) Disable LED 'wink' on turn signal Disable "Lights are on" warning Disable NAV & Phone warning messages while entering data at speed Disable Seatbelt Chime Enable Adaptive brake lights Enable Ambient Interior Lighting Control Enable Automatic Gear selection shown in DIS Enable Automatic Hill Hold Assist 'lite' Enable Auxiliary ventilation Enable Battery meter Enable DIS with Efficiency Program Enable Double Disarm Beep Enable DRL Selectable via MMI Enable DRL Enable Euro parking lights that turn on signal at night Enable fog lamp to come on for the same side as that turn signal Enable Front Turn Signals as Parking lights Enable Gauge Test/Needle Sweep Enable Hidden menu in MMI Enable Import CDs to MMI's HD Enable Independent Fogs control with high beams Enable Lap Timer Enable LEDs remain bright for parking lights Enable Rear Tail Lights on with DRLs Enable Release Parking Brake without putting foot on Brake Enable Release Parking Brake without putting seatbelt Enable Remote Operation windows&sunroof Enable Reverse mirror tilt Enable Speed through MMI Enable TPMS Enable VIM on MMI Set Audi parking system - Switch OFF Speed Set Custom ADS settings Set Headlight washer - cycles Set Headlight washer - duration Adjust Consumption in DIS Adjust LED Brightness Edited June 9, 2015 by VPI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get yourself to a track day or get yourself up to some great mountain roads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
