The wife and I were out for a cruise the other day (I had to pick up some black powder for the 4th). We came out of a store and started driving. I hear some chimes and look down to see the seat belt indicator. The wife had forgotten it. At the top of the dash display though, "Guilty of the Crime" was displayed. This is where the radio station is usually displayed. As soon as she clicked her seat belt, it disappeared. I switch the center console display to FM, to see if it was displayed there, but the station selected does not display information. We tried to replicate this, but couldn't get it to come back. Has anyone else ever seen this. It was really pretty amusing.

That's funny, and you're not the only one. My wife called me not long after we bought the TT and she asked me how the car knew she might be lost (because the MMI display was showing "Lost?" in the song title field).

my red a4 2.0t s-line avant will see your avant out back after school :P

You mean like this (but red vs. red)?

Red Avants do seem to get attention. I was at the Keenland Concours show a few weeks ago, parked with the Audis. Whenever I went back to the car, there were people checking it out. I went to a local (non auto) event this weekend. I parked next to a brilliant red A5. (I figured it might be a safe place). When I came back the A5 was gone and an suv had taken it's place. The owner was just walking up as we were pulling out and he started joking about me not dinging the doors in his truck and how the red really pops.
My only issue is that my cars draw attention when the wife is out driving with them too. She used to have guys approach her about the B5, now she has them approaching in the CVS parking lot about the Avant.

That reminds me of the time someone approached me at a gas station to tell me how sick my "Audi SUV" was. He proceeded to ask me how I lowered it so much, because he'd never seen an SUV that low LOL.
