Just brought home my new A3

[afig367]

Hi Everyone--I had been off these boards for a long time after I decided to sell my 2013 S4. My commute had gone from about 5,000 miles/yr to 20,000 miles/yr, and I wanted something more economical (which turned out to mean a non-Si Honda Civic). Plus, my wife and I were trying to save as much as possible to make a substantial down payment on a new house, so I needed a less expensive car.

With that stuff now behind me, I said "Fuck it" and got the wife to say "yes" when she was buzzed one night, so I went out and brought home a new A3 2.0. I had a couple of AWE goodies on the S4. I'm probably going to hold off on doing any mods this time around, but we'll see. Till then, I'm happy to be back on here again.

Very nice and welcome!

Congratulations. I remember when I was buying my first home. I was 25 and sold my '79 911 SC coupe which I worked my butt off for and paid cash for. Sold that for the down payment for my first home and then bought a used Mazda pickup for transportation. I have owned a lot of nice cars and homes since then. Homes appreciate, cars with rare exceptions ever do. That was 1980 and I wanted to get married and did not want my wife living in a rental. She divorced me 2 years later as she was still to young to be an adult. I kept the house and gave her some cash. Smartest move I ever made at that age.

i would imagine that 79 911 is worth a pretty penny right now.

Put a tune on it and it'll make you forget about the S4.

Yup - the SC, Carrera and 993's have appreciated nicely. I have 2 Porsche's in the garage with the S3. They all speak German at night.

Yeah, I saw one of the early (mid-80s) Turbos a year or two ago, and the dealership wanted around $200k for it!

I'm thinking about it, but since I bought AudiCare with it, the thought of having to re-flash every time I take it in and out for service seems... expensive

OK, here are a couple of additional pics I took while I returning my Comcast modem today (hooray for FiOS!).

Mod 1 complete: I found a T-20 star driver at work and took the front license plate holder off. Too dark to take a new picture, but it looks a lot better.

Mod 2 on Friday: Getting it tinted, and need to make a shout out to Audi of West Chester (PA, not NY).... they're paying for it.
