Grats on the purchase!!!

 

Thanks! I can see why someone would switch, I was just at Costco earlier and was reminded of how tight it was, the third row must be down in order to have reasonable cargo space. However, the driving dynamics are entirely different...Although it is a huge SUV, in Dynamic mode, the Quattro system just hooks on and keeps going.

It's a little weird as I was originally aiming for an 11 MDX Advance but ended up with this.

 

nice!

 

"That's a huuuuuuuuuuuuuge bitch!"

Mark, I always pegged you for a Range Rover Sport or Cayenne GTS kind of guy

Anyhoo, your new whip is

 

Nice, Mark! You're turning into quite an Audi guy, eh?

 

I thought he always liked Audi.

 

Next time I'm on the fence I'll reference this post. You'll keep me out of trouble Ravi.

 

Rick, I am a RR Sport or GTS kinda guy, heck I had found the perfect 08 CTT only problem is they don't have a 3rd row.

It's my fourth one.

 

S-Line

 

after all these years, i still love those wheels. congrats!

 

Glad to help.

 

Nice purchase Mark, I'm liking the wheels! I can't lie though, I expected something else

 

In due time my friend, in due time.

OTOH, I went to the dlr to get an estimate for a new pair of stock tires, 500/piece.

 

What does tirerack charge?

 

Tire Rack charges 394/tire. If you can find a better price for 4 Pirelli P Zero Rosso 295/30R/21 let me know!

 

Sheit what are my 305/19 PS2 rears going to cost me when I have to replace them? That's some serious coin. I might switch out all 4 to REO50As not sure.

 

It's not that far off really, when I replaced tires, I picked up 345/19 PS2s from TR for my C6 Z06 and they were about 450 a piece.

 

You paid $50K for a vehicle that will need tires in 6 months?

Nice vehicle. Yeah I would have the same problem with storage. 3 kids and their stuff only seem to fit in a minivan.

We test drove the new Sienna. It's got a great new look, more SUV looking but still retaining the storage in the back.

 

I quite like the new Sienna as well but I wonder if it's a better vehicle than the current, soon to be replaced Odyssey. Hopefully it's more reliable; my Ody was starting at just 25k miles to become costly and visited the dealership quite often.

Although I really like the current wheels on the car, what does everyone think about the new RS6 wheels on the Q? I think it would update the look...

 

Toss up. I like them both.

 

^
+1. Nice SUV!

 

Congrats Mark! That's one hot looking Q7

I think the RS6 wheels would look great on there. Do it!

 

Very nice! I actually like your wheels more than the RS6 wheels.

 

Dear Mark,

You're sick.

Bryan

 

How did I miss this thread?

Very nice SUV. I'm an Audi fanboy waiting for the day to say bad things about my S5 I think I'll live whenever that day comes.

You gotta get the LEDs! It's signature Audi. Oh, my wife's X3 ///M Sport has the Pirelli Rossa P Zeros (245/19 R - 235/19 F) and I dread the day I have to replace them. I think I'll stay with them because they are good tires.

Enjoy the new ride

 

Thanks, I elected to keep them on and use the money elsewhere.

I was about to pm you... And don't deny you're just as sick.

Thanks knightrider! I left a message yesterday at my local Audi parts dpt and hopefully they'll get back to me soon. My priority is to get the rear tails first and eventually the front if the price isn't outrageous. Cheers, hopefully the X3 is treating you guys well.

 

I like the RS4 wheels more too, but I'm biased.

I looked into the full LED headlight & taillight conversion a while back and was quoted ~$4K.
