Default ok, after some careful thought, I've decided to stop pouring money into my A4...

... I'm gona drive it until next spring and then look to trade her in.

Until this moment, I've taken the absolute best care of my car to be in show room condition. If something was failing, I replaced it. If something could work better, I replaced it.

Now though, the body has some rust bubbles and rather than repair it, I'm going to replace it. The way I see it, I won't get the money out of any body work that I do and there is no stopping the body work once you start.

I hate the thought of letting her go so I'll let her down slowly between now and next April. Anyone is welcome to talk me out of this. Also, in the mean time, if anyone was interested in my car, drop me a line.

I gave her a good wash today and went for a fun drive. I know things can change over the next year and I'd be happy if I could keep my A4, but its no longer a cost effective choice and I can't maintain her on emotion alone.

I loved my GTI's, TT's, A4 and my current S4 all the same but miss the TT's the most.
