Default Going from B5 to B9!

According to my Audi Sale Representative my long awaited 2017 Audi A4 B9 will be arriving this month.
Placed my order ~first week in Feb. Next week will be 3 months.

I am going to be finally replacing my 2001 Audi A4 B5 1.8T Manual 5 spd. I have owned my B5 for 14+ years. The B5 was incredibly reliable and a lot of fun to drive. Realize I am moving from analog to digital now and also giving up the third pedal. Was tough finally hitting 'submit thread' on my B5 in the classified section.

My new B9 will have a lot to live up to.....

You are going to have a restless left leg and right arm for some time!

There is enough to play with on the MMI to keep the right arm busy :-)

Completely agree! Looking forward to exploring the MMI- now just have to find something to stomp with my left foot while driving.

If I had an extra garage space, I'd love to have a B5 like that. Just for old times' sake. I was obsessed with those sport package rims when I first got into Audi. Great looking car. Still looks modern today.
Enjoy your new ride.

Thanks! Received a call today.. My new B9 is at the port. Should get it by the end of this week or next week.

It's been a long wait for this vehicle. My mail order bride took less time to receive. Joking of course...

Need to ramp up my sales efforts now to make room in the garage. Had to post my B5 on Craigslist tonight - still hope it will go to an Audi enthusiast.
