Re: (He's ADD.)
OT: No.radar, did you buy your from Luxury Motors in Downers Grove, Illinois?
I bought an A8L from them about two months ago. They would not budge on the price, until they lowered it by $1k on the 1st of the month. Since I was not able to see it live, I gave them $1k down on the phone. I got there a day earlier unannounced to see it. The few minor things were taken care of by the next morning when I picked it up. The only lie they told me was that the tires were "good". One was basically bald (all wear indicators showing) and the other three had maybe 2k to go. I drove directly to Tire Rack where I had eight new tires and a set of winter rims prepaid and waiting for me. That's why I didn't care about the tires.
I'm asking you this beacuse of your "Guido thieves" comment. Until reading it, I figured that the place was run by the "Polish Mafia"! The sales guy and his boss were speaking to each other in Polish in front of me not knowing that I understood them. They were not degrading. The boss just said to "tell him what he needs to hear" It was about the missing Nav DVD. We walked back to the car while he bull****ted me that the DVD was probably swiped at the auction lot. I told him that unless you get me a DVD to take, which I will dupe and mail back when I get home, I'll walk. He asked, did I fly in? (which he and I talked about as he would have had a driver pick me up) but my wife drove in with me in another car as it was Christmas and air fare was expensive. The next morning he miraculously produced a DVD and said I can keep it.
They also have a lot across the street and one in Schaumberg. Many thug-like guys prowling around who work there. I think there is more to this place. But, the car is fine and I put 6k miles on it in two months.

Writer was more concerned about "luxury" than overall driveability
What good is all that luxury in a foot of snow? The Audi is a superior machine, the subjective notions of luxury vary from driver to driver.
