Default Well I've finally morphed from JonA4 to JonRS4. Picked up my RS4 from the DAS depot in Tacoma, WA

yesterday and drove it home to Vancouver. Of course it was pouring rain (rain in the PNW, imagine my surprise). This thing is amazing in that weather! Puddles on the I-5 the size of Lake Michigan and it just effortlessly motored right on through.

That was just a teaser...now it sits in my garage for 3 weeks waiting for paperwork and for the Canadian spec bumper to show up from Germany.....hopefully the drool on the hood won't leave a permanent mark!

Default Wow, sitting in the garage not touching it, are you running for Ghandi? =]

Take her out for a spin. Hear her roar. Turn some heads.

You know you want to...

Default I see the confusion (Port of Tacoma). No, I bought in Dallas and had it shipped via DAS. Tacoma

happens to be their terminal closest to Vancouver. I thought it safer to go down myself rather than get some jobber to handle it again.

Default Yes, the Denizens at Transport Canada deemed the US bumper inadequate for Canucks. I don't know if

it's a comment on our bad driving skills or on our large Moose population. Either way, it's costing me $4000 to get three lousy parts. Two shock absorbers and a bumper plate.
