Default Afternoon drive back to Tri Cities from Portland...

Took my time driving back from Portland this afternoon, stopped and snapped some photos, watched a ship move through the Bonneville dam, grabbed some bottles of wine at Maryhill winery. Note my new titanium package rims? Oh wait, thats just the winter northwest grime, yuck. Sorry the car isn't pristine, hard to keep that way when it rains so much. Also the pics suffered because the light was low and its just a small olympus 7mp camera, nothing pro about it thats for sure!

Long 10 days, drive from Tri Cities to Seattle, flew to Dallas, worked, flew to Baton Rouge, worked, flew to Seattle, drove to Portland to meet wife and friends for weekend and check on house for sale, still for sale after 9 months

Historic Columbia Gorge road (a little grainy because of low light):

Default I dunno...

I wish I had one of each color so I could switch cars as my mind changed! I liek the ibis white with titanium alot, and I like the avus and ti as well.

Good news though... my wife has been thinking about a new car this spring, I think I have her convinced to get an S5. She is torn between that and the CLK550 as well. I think the S5 is way sexier looking, but its her car, and I am audi biased anyways.

Default Before you buy a car let me know.....

I have a very good relationship with the audi dealer here in spokane. These guys are great to purchase and service a car from.

Default Actually...

I am going to be looking this spring or summer for a second vehicle to unload the commute miles from my RS4. I have a 30 mile each way commute, sucks. Good thing I travel 2-3 weeks a month, bad thing is half the time I fly out of Seattle or Spokane due to flight costs or availability in Tri-Cities. And to get to Seattle or Spokane, I drive.

Really interested in getting an older All Road, especially because I do alot of fly fishing and it is a very good car for that type of thing. I may come up there and check. I may go private party though this time, if I can't get a CPO car.
