Default My 'new to me' S6!

After lurking here for a while, I decided that finally actually buying an S6 was a good reason for a coming out post.

Found an 8 month old CPO down in Phoenix, so I flew down there, bought it, and gave it an inaugural 1000 mile drive home. Definitely enjoyed the trip!

Before too long, I'll probably have to get another set of wheels and winter tires, if anyone has any suggestions there. I'll look around the forums for suggestions, too.

Thanks!

who the heck would get rid of a beauty like that in less than a year? Great find. I bet that was a fun drive home!

mikec7s6, I PM'd you the details.

kcbonedoc, I'm told it was someone that decided to move to an S8 instead. I'm pretty happy they decided to unload it, and that I was able to snag it. Driving it definitely puts a smile on my face... Quite a change from my Enclave.

Exact same configuration as mine... love it!

I haven't seen another Estoril Blue + Black Optics.

Looks great! Plus, bonus points for the HGTTG reference in your username.

Thanks everyone... I'm definitely enjoying it! Maybe a little too much on some back roads today. I think the turbo v8 gives the infinite improbability drive a run for its money, to throw out another HHGTTG reference.

I saw that the Audi club is having a track day around here in a few weeks... Might have to check that out!

leo, I order a lot of my Mercedes and bmw parts form you guys, but your audi and Porsche stuff seems very limited? if its not listed on your website are you guys still able to get them? for Mercedes, it seems like you guys carry everything, not so much for when I need it on my vag cars.
