My friend has the reps from Velocity...I didn't realize the original RS4 rims were that wide! And yes, they are a little played out, but they still look nice.

Oh snap!
I can't describe how happy I am right now!
I'll post some better pics and my initial review after this weekend when I've had a little more time with my new baby.
When we got there they had our car in the showroom with this lovely sign on it...
In the showroom...
... and already debadged ...
... only 14 on the odo ...
... all done with signing paperwork, now we get to finally leave 3 hours later ...
... got home and took a few more pics ...
... very nice RS4 pedals come stock
...
And now I'm
that I finally have this baby at home.

Congratulations Sly!
She looks absolutely terrific in Ibis White. The S-line package makes it look incredibly sexy. Much e-respect for going MT too.
And forget what I said about the rims! Please do tell us how she feels.
You make me regret for not getting that S4 Avant back in the day.

Thanks guys for the kind words. I'll answer all your questions tomorrow, I'm going to bed, only got 3 hours of sleep last night.
Really quickly though, no I didn't get the 0.9% financing. That deal is only for the non special edition model A4. It's to help the dealers push the A4's they have on their lots off to make room for the new A4 coming in September or earlier. we did lock in the 2.9% deal back in february and that deal still held today.
And yummy, thanks for the thread title change, but now you've been marked.

I'm not sharing.

You know you could get the new S4 Avant based on the B8.

As for the wheels, they'll be staying on for some time. They were one of two reasons why I bought the Titanium Package. I'd rather spend money on other mods first before swapping out the wheels.

So when i went to Rusnak, I had been in contact with the Finance manager previously when i was researching the A3 and so I contacted him again, he put me in contact with the manager of both Sales and Fleet so I guess it worked out for me.

Congrats on a great puchase! Nothing feels as cool as when you order your car and then come months later to see it on the showroom floor
Some serious rep points for getting the MT.

McKenna Those guys are the worst!!! I went there years ago...(back when I was going to get a TT) They were the most uninformed, overselling, pieces of
that I have ever been envolved with. The completely wasted my time...and ALMOST put a permananent distaste for Audi in my mouth........thankfully I ran into some decent peeps at the Auto Gallery.

Perfect timing!
Audi of America made the highest jump on the 2008 JD Power and Associates' initial quality study, which was released on June 4. The German luxury automaker moved up to take the #10 spot, up from 26 in 2007 with 113 problems per 100 vehicles. The same survey revealed the Audi A6 tied for third place in the Midsize Premium Car segment.

You know, I was so excited about the car itself yesterday that the aspect of having it on the dealer showroom floor completly went over my head. It was good feeling seeing the car in there for others to gawk at.
And as long as I am capable, I will always purchase/drive a MT.
