New year, new post… It’s only been, what, 8 months since the last one?

It seems that the only visitors to this page were bots and spam, so I didn’t bother any more.

However, it’s a new year  and even if nobody reads this, I should do it for myself while I have this car.

Here’s a short update:

Sold the S4 back in September… and still miss it.

Been to the track and drag strip a few times… can’t seem to do much better than 8.5-8.6 @ 82-83mph in the 1/8 mile. It’s great on the track, though.

Taxes are upon me… don’t ask — you don’t want to know.

Just about 19k miles on the car in the 10 months I’ve had it, including the following trips: Arizona (Grand Canyon, Phoenix) 9/09, Las Vegas x2 (4/09 and 1/10, with another coming up 4/10), Bay Area x2 (11/09, 12/09).

Only problem so far was the DRC failure that was discovered during my (included) 5k service. Despite the fact that a $78k car had a massive system failure in its first few months of ownership, they took care of it promptly (thanks, Hoehn Audi!) and the problem has not returned since.

So, in short, lots of miles down and even more to go, and I’ve been enjoying almost every minute of it.

Comment if you’re reading this and not a bot… and want to see videos/pictures from the past 8 months!

    Hey, what are your plans after the Audi-paid period is up? I hope you keep the car… as the DOCTOR prescribed LoL!

      Well, that will depend on what the residual is, but I’d definitely like to keep it. Though 996tt, Z06, and some other desirable cars could be in the same price range (low-mid $30k) at that point, and I’d really like to have 500hp again.
