Default Hard to believe!

I am still having to get used to the idea that the two Audi’s we currently own (both bought new) will likely be our last as we are older now, don’t drive as much and don’t put many miles on our vehicles. The A8L we bought in 2013, just rolled over 30k miles and the ‘21 Q7 less than 8k. We plan to drive them for the rest of our driving years and there is no way we would ever even consider an EV. Absolutely hate them! Unfortunately Audi has committed to them which takes Audi off the table for us in the future even if we had to replace one of the current cars. Oh well, guess our Great Grandparents said the same thing about horses and buggy whips!! Lol!

Blame the "You will own nothing and be happy" crowd for the demise of the auto industry. Carbon taxation (Agenda21) is specifically meant to ruin travel to add incentive for people to agree to renting time in a vehicle rather than ownership. Eventually social credit scores will be required to be above a certain level or a certain number of tokens will be required for people to drive. Or CBDCs will only be allowed to be spent on certain things, with limits on how much can be spent on travel, if you're approved to travel. Dystopian nightmares ahead lol

It’s currently at our house near Hilton Head and we are at the lake house in Upstate SC. We won’t be returning until November so couldn’t do it until then. It truly looks new. The service department at Audi of Hilton Head can’t believe it when they see it as most 2013’s have been pretty badly been mistreated.
