Default *blush* hi...

picked up this little number while working on the wife's replacement Q5:

specs:
CPO 2010 A4 2.0t Avant tip 18k miles
Misano Red Pearl over black s-line interior
6 speed tip
Prestige
ADS
s-line
adaptive cruise
driver side assist
rear shades
rear side airbags

the car is fantastic to start with, but the upgrade potential is huge, starting with ECU in the spring with an eye towards the APR S3/K04 + APR Turbo-back Exhaust eventually. I like the 8-speed tranny fine from having it in the Q5, but I know the 6-speed is bullet-proof for future power upgrades.

tons of vag-com mods already performed

I like the color. Unfortunately, so will every looney-tune you meet on the road -- especially the fools driving white pick-ups trying to look like they're actually employed in the construction business. In the years I drove a red Cabriolet, I probably had hundreds of them try to race me. If you build your car, try to build it strong enough to go supersonic to comprehensively get away from those morons.

I tried to get the gf into an Avant before I bought mine.
She preferred the Q5 also.

Hers = Quartz Gray
His = Monza Silver

How did you get a 6-speed Tip? Isn't an 8-speed Tip the only tranny available?
