Amazed at how high the ar sits....

went to lunch today and rode in my bud's late 90's stock Maxima which was parked next to the ar sitting at level 2. After sitting down in the Maxima I glance over at the ar. The belt line must be 8" or more above the Maxima's beltline. Makes the ar look like a beast. Made me smile. I'm still getting used to how beefy the ar is.

I had the 390 mod done when I parked in L4 next to my buddies 4Runner with oversize tires

with the rack on top it was about the same height, and when we looked underneath the beefy 4Runner and the AR had about the same amount of ground clearance. He could not belive it... I was happy.

I know, I know - TPIWWP!

AR hits about the same as the median SUV

I read this when deciding to buy an ar:
"But that setting's not just for posing. It affords the Allroad more ground clearance than can be claimed by 23 of the 44 base-model sport-utes you'll find in our most recent Buyers Guide to Pickups, Sport-Utilities, and Vans."

That comes from one of the strangest car reviews I've ever read.<ul><li><a href="http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/3212/road-test-audi-allroad-27t-quattro.html">http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/3212/road-test-audi-allroad-27t-quattro.html</a</li></ul>
