Drove 743 miles from Boston to Raleigh, loved every minute of it. Drove through 40 miles of storms near Baltimore, car was rock solid.

Default All the red C5s lately are gorgeous!

And you were right in our neighborhood (so to speak). Did you meet up with any of the local AWers?

My favorite lacrosse store is right next door to Brookline Audi, it's about a 30 minute ride from my house.

Congrats on the new ride. I know it's new and all, but do you have any plans yet?

Default One follow up question:..Why is the gearing so short on the A6.at 76 MPH I was at 3100 rpm I think

That is way too tll for a V6 dont you think..
My 4 cylinder accord has taller gearing than that and still has OK torque to get out of its way on the highway without having to downshift
