Default Are the Audi "gods" sending me a signal?

Recently cleaned the garage out of a whole lot of accumulated trash, including many cardboard boxes, (I mail order a lot), and frequently miss the garbage man's pickups. Low and behold, the next day, AFTER garbage pickup, I can't find my yet to be installed painted mirror covers anywhere! It is possible they're still around somewhere I haven't looked yet, but I'm fearing the worse! I think they got tossed along with all the other cardboard boxes. They don't weigh much, being plastic and all, and it's possible the box was mistaken for an empty one. Could this be a sign to leave the S6's body alone?

Default Hate when that happens, Were you able to get a set prepainted in Goodwood Green?

I'd like to make that swap as well, but really I didn't swipe yours!!!

Default I can understand performance and wheel mods but....

The A6/S6 is SUCH a beautiful car. Why would people want to mess with perfection?

Default Re: Got em at The Race Store. Still waiting for exhaust

to show up. At which time I'll have the KM Coilovers and Exhaust both installed at the same time. Roof Rails stay on... for now.

Default Re: Are the Audi "gods" sending me a signal?

A car loving friend of mine stopped by my office when he saw my new S6 sitting in the parking lot, so of course we had to go for a drive (he drove it and was blown away). When we got into the car his first comment was, "I love the mirrors".

Don't change them (and leave the racks on, too)!
