Default New Audi owner! I finally pulled the trigger!

Hello everyone!

I have wanted an Audi for several years now, but I bought a 2003 Infiniti I-35 as a second car because I couldn't find a quality used A6. I drive 67 miles one way to work, so having a car makes more sense then driving my lifted F-250 4x4. I modded the Infiniti (I can't leave anything alone...) with custom window tint, new black wheels (OEM was silver), and I ripped out the outdated stereo, and installed a pioneer 1330nex, Kicker 12"sub, Kicker amp, and 4 Kicker door speakers. Quite naturally, as soon as I finished the Infiniti mods, I saw my dream car, at a lot, and very underpriced, so... I bought my 1st Audi! She (her name is Clair) is a 2009 A6 with ONLY 186,000 miles and I absolutely love her! She has a few small issues, such as a daytime running light warning that I'm working on, and a very strange MMI interface that I'm still learning. I can't wait to see all the fun that I'll have as I learn and repair this car, while setting my sites on the next more current version!

True story, I promise... I found a nice, used A4 about a year ago and went after it, cash in hand, only to find out that I could not physically fit inside it! I'm a really big guy- 6'3", 290 lbs, and I thought that my Audi dreams were crushed forever. Imagine my happiness when I sat in my A6 for the first time! (Yes, the seat was all the way to the rear and all the way down, but I fit!)

Now if I can just somehow get my wife back in her vehicle and out of my Audi, I can go for a drive! Have a great day, folk!

Bear in mind you are posting in the wrong forum. This is for C5 cars 1998-2004 (see the header line above).

Oops, I got too exited. I will try to delete this post and repost in the proper area. Sorry about that...
