I thought all S cars had silver mirror caps? Or is hers an A5 S-Line? Can't see the badge on the grille, too dark.

painted to match mirror caps is an upgrade...
but in my opinion...I like the silver contrast. always have.
i think in older models it's actually called "sport" mirrors.

She has an S5...identical options to my car except for sport differential...she opted for the blackout trim instead.

Sounds like she is more of a car enthusiast than you are. at least she "appears" to be

Diff is overrated

The facelift looks really good.

That's cuz I told her not to get it.

One of the few times she listens to her big brother.

She's on a lease too. Something all her and her doctor buddies do...a trend here with that crew of leasing cars.

Very un- of her...but, then again, this option allows her to write it off and she can get a new car in a couple years. RS6?

That diff didn't do shit against a curb.

That gray car looks way better than the white one.

The grey one looks like a proper N model, the white one looks like a run of the mill base model. Maybe an N-line if you squint.

I was thinking the gray one looked like an Audi. The white one looks like a Sonata.

The diff did exactly what it was meant to do. Yumcha hit the Curb, i mean hit the Apex hard during his AWD drift through a corner without losing any speed.

Nothing wrong with leasing as long as she got the funds to keep leasing. YOLO.

I personally cannot tolerate my jealousy of new generation of car when it has new tech and more power.... I need to have it! (within my budget)
Buying will end up costing me more $$ (in a normal car market)

I like the dark pack, but prefer the Avantgarde (MB-speak) grille if it were sans-chrome.

girls just want a guy that can eat pussy and is confident in his trim pack regardless of color.

There's no way that gray one looks nearly as aggressive as a real N.

Very much so. That rattle I had mentioned when music is played? Gone...I brought it in for some general servicing as there was a service bulletin for the 4-way camera that required an update. And they also looked into the rattle and yeah, probably applied something to stop the noise.

Everything good. Will be keeping this for awhile.

My wife curbed the FX two nights ago. I can't go without one damaged rim in life apparently.
