Steve!!! Took you long enough to get the story out!

I had a blast and as most know it is so much fun shopping for these cars and more fun helping another out. If Steve doesn't get pictures up, I am headin ghome in a week for my dad's birthday, I will get them and post them up. It really is a beautiful car.

I went home for a weekend and hooked up with Steve and family. Took Steve for a ride in my car, he was dead set against the A4 until he rode around with me and then he figured the A4 was okay too. My car a bit modded over stock , showed that an A4 can be just as much fun as a MN6. Guys, I have nothing against it, I just felt Steve out and new that a 3.15 A4 with a Z51 package would be perfect for him.

He forgot to mention a few things...

PEWTER (one of my favs)
A4 with the Z51 and 3.15 performance rear-end.
All the bells and whistle, HUD, dual climate, sport seats, etc.

I had a blast test driving it in competive mod, saw two FLA HP on the test drive, lucky me I had been doing the speed limit or close to it.

On the drive home, Steve had the famous permagrin ! He had gotten rid of his nice 2006 HEMI Charger and he was amazed at how much better the vette was in all areas. He was stoked and overwheled the entire time.

He got the car for a great deal and his wife drove it and loved it and his son was really diggin it!

Thanks for the props Steve and to answer a question above, he is taking care of me in the UF memorbelia department!

Micah

Man, Kent, you got too much time on your hands. Sweet rendering, though.

I think I got stuck at that red light!
