^ Thanks for the compliment!

Oh, and cool ride! 8) Some day, when I can ditch the child seat ( and the child that comes with it, [don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade the world for my baby-Anna] ), a 'Vette with a big honkin' engine is definitely going to be among my priority shopping targets!

Sweet ride.

thanks..I figured since I'm single and out of college with a good job I better get one now while I can before I get married and have kids and may not be in the position to have one.

^ You definitely earned it!

The wifey pretty much made me "go 4 doors" on this purchase.

Unfortunately, I couldn't convince her ( or was that trick her? ) to let me get either an EVO or STi (the STI Limited had not yet been introduced, back when we purchased our vehicles in early '05). One look at their various aggressive body components ( and for as little as my wife knows about cars, she does unfortunately know what a FMIC looks like, and what it implies :wink: :cry: ), and it was an "I don't think so, honey," for me.

I envy you for both your great ride, as well as admire your financial wisdom and undoubtedly great work ethic - which allowed you to make such a wonderful purchase so early!

^ Nice launch technique!

I'm not an "Audi guy" (although I do like them quite a lot - this is purely speaking of them as my "enthusiast/technical experience" or, rather, lack thereof), so please pardon my ignorance:

Is that launch indicative of electronic "launch control," or was that purely throttle manipulation?

If it's the latter, on a manual tranny vehicle, that's quite impressive!
