Default so.... is it a good thing or a bad thing that an audi tech

worked on my car W/ the hood open for nearly an hour and thought my car was an s4.... three techs were doing some very basic work and they seemed like cool smart guys.. one of which I know fairly well... it was the end of the day and i'm sure he was just tired. my car does look alot like an s4 right? I can see how you could get confused ya know.... I mean jsut look @ all the s4 parts I have..... I count 1 and its call ed a lower rear painted bumper. I guess my car is bad ***!....... thanks audi tech guy!!! what do you guys think?

Default sorry bro, you still have the unpainted lowers AND do not have any S4 bumpers/valences/lowers

so id be VERY WORRIED!

then again, some bunch of idiot mechanics at the local sunoco thought my car was an S4 untill a real S4 pulled up. I just looked at them and laughed.

no i'm just being a jerk.... this guy had to be new.... the tech they have are great! they always treat me great and fix my car 100% the first time!! I bet he was jsut messing with me to make me feel better about my little 1.8. heehee

Default Wow, that is really scary

What the hell was he thinking? The lack of the 'V6 Bi-Turbo' engine cover should have alerted him...

Default Well, if they did an oil change and added 6.9 quarts of oil instead of 3.7...

...that would be bad

They were probably just complimenting you on your ride.
