Watch you get a 3 feet dump of snow next weekend.

Yumcha

Please no.

Took it out late last night to fetch my sister from the airport. First time I really gave the car some gas on the open road with the summer wheels...goes kinda quick quickly.

Dynamic Mode is pretty nice. Again, no talent for photos but here's a quick pic I snagged while waiting for her at baggage claim.

Dynamic is just great. The thing is a monster. I don't know about you, but I just smile whenever I get in and out of the thing.

Yumcha

Indeed...the way the car picks up acceleration is really nice...and that exhaust note is lovely to listen to. It's really nice to be back in a car again after so many years in cross-overs. Per svtmike, the sound system is also not too shabby. Really enjoyable night drive yesterday...hoping to have more opportunities to turn on the tap. We are thinking of heading to the Rockies this summer and so, maybe we take the Audi instead of the FX.

You're gonna die of heat stroke after being fozen for so long...

Yumcha

Yeah, I'll be like a typical and wear my visor cap and walk around in sunlight with an umbrella.

Midnight Mystery

Fanny pack and all in white, too...

Midnight Mystery

Fanny pack will contain sunscreen, moist towelettes and fans...

Yumcha

And with my white Adidas shorts hiked up past my belly button.

And if you were 🇩🇪, you would be calling it "adi-DAS"

I'm strongly considering using the Individual driving mode with basically the Auto settings but with the sporty exhaust. I think Auto is quiet in D and loud in S. I'm too lazy to use S all the time, though.

Yumcha

That's a good setup if you just want to hear the exhaust. I may even just apply the Comfort Mode to the Individual settings with the Dynamic exhaust.

Yumcha

I should buy a Mugen sticker for the Owdee. Be true to my heritage.

kurtatx

Yes, and on the other side, just to fuck with people.

kurtatx

JDM motherfuckers!

Midnight Mystery

Hey...



Rootz, mutherfuckers.... Remember them Rootz...

Yumcha

On a semi-serious note, it does seem BMW 3ers and 4ers like to accelerate extra peppy when next to me. I'm too old to race now. And I have a kid in the car with me usually.

kurtatx

Put an H where the rings were on the back

Yumcha

Or..."CUCK" where the rings were?

I would do "CUCKCLET" per @svtmike but that takes up too much space.

Midnight Mystery

Yeah! I like the "CUCK" idea!

Midnight Mystery

Just thrust them up to the speed limit, short shift it at like 4.5K rpm and let the car do the work! Don't race, just keep pace!

Yumcha

I could debadge the S5...and put "LET" there.

kurtatx

Yeah, I don't have to deal with a lot of that. The S5 styling is much more aggressive and looks faster than the S4. The S4 is a trim of the A4 and so it's not too showy.

Yumcha

Oh good. Cuz, by default, being , my driving skillz would equate to slowness...on the fast lane...and so, I would never race you or @rockstar143 . As such, I LOOK faster. Good enough. By appearances, I would win the race even if I'm going 20mph on the 60mph expressway.

kurtatx

Let's just say, if we were on Top Gear, I would be James May

Costco

You guys have an S4/S5 and don't bury the big pedal as often as you can... cucks indeed.

rockstar will have to drive like that much more of a tool to make up for your deficiencies!

kurtatx

Honestly, my drive to work is short (4 miles) and shitty (traffic lights or toll road for like one exit). I drive like a crazy person when I can but I simply am not good at driving fast

svtmike

Vanity plate?

kurtatx

Wife wouldn't let me get this one

Seriously...


FFS... I was waiting for you to get it, too...

Don't you boys worry, I drive like enough of a tool for all of us.
Currently getting used to how to drive it. Around town I like the pep of S vs D...
I noticed that biggest difference is the little bit of lag in pedal feel and the shifts are sub 2K in D vs about 3K in S.
So far, I do S around town then D when I hit highway speeds because I think it withholds 7th gear otherwise if you stay in S.
I like shifting to manual mode but feel the car protects the drivetrain from user error with a slight pause in shifts over just letting it
do it's thing in S. I also think the reason the car feels peppy in dynamic (although it changes other things) is that it bumps up to S.

The car is extremely good at interpreting braking and acceleration pressure on the pedal to determine what gear it thinks you want to be in.

So far, I love it...I would not have predicted that I would be excited and feel engaged driving a DSG but I'm glad I gave it a shot.
It is the closest thing to manual while maintaining the best of both world's for every day daily duties. I understand now why all exotics
have gone this route. That said, if I didn't have the S2000, I would have preferred the 6MT.

Yumcha

It would apply but the First Lady drives it sometimes too...and well, not sure she would approve of that plate on her alternative car.

Here in LA, you will NEVER be able to take a picture of your car at the airport without some cars in the background ... even at 12am.

thoiboi

Sooooo this means you pick us up from airport in your whip so we don't have to call an uber right?

Yumcha

Yumcha

Yeah, this is not O'Hare.
