Observations of an Audi owner
Thought it would be entertaining to have a thread with all the funny and intriguing things we notice as Audi owners.
Have some ideas for "you might be an Audi nut if....." too.
I'll kick it off with these:
- Your dog is way cooler than the others at the park because she has a matching Audi collar and lead. And she has quattro
- When an appliance goes on the fritz you wish you could download a Bentley for it
- Printing and color of the boxes that small Audi parts come in look suspiciously like US dollar bills to you

You might be an Audi owner...
1 If you take a day off of work to wash, wax & detail your car.
2. You go to buy a replacement Starter or Alternator and when quoted a price of $325.00 you think; "wow, that's a pretty good price". This is after years of paying $40.00 to $60.00 for the same type of part for GM vehicles.

You turn back to look at your Audi one last time before leaving out of sight (work, shopping, garage) just to verify "yup, still looks beautiful".
You home in on the parking spots with at least one side bordered by some landscaping or other 'non-parkable' feature.

1. You notice every Audi you see and try to identify model and year by the trim, headlights, etc.
2. You secretly refer to every other Audi driver as your brother or sister.
3. You might actually turn around to chase down a new model Audi to get a better look.
I am a sick, sick man.

You regularly catch yourself gawking at the car's reflection in mirrored office building as you drive by and secretly hope for no traffic or pedestrians to distract your gaze

A couple more:
You have a select list of locations for car photo sessions.
You find yourself getting to bed in the wee small hours from a 3 hour detailing session that started as just washing off a new bird poop.

Haha sounds like me.
You are blind to prices anymore. Suddenly $800 for tires sounds like a steal, and a brake job for only $350 bargain!! A true audi owner that knows his stuff and is proud of it, looks down on others, and laughs at the excitement of others as they step in and out of their new c series mercs =)
