Default A6 appreciated

Broke my little toe and associated bruises on my left foot so have not been able to drive my C5 M6. Have no problem at all driving the wife's 2007 A6. Didn't even use the paddleshifter; just left it in Sport. Plenty fast and sporty as is and is a great long distance cruiser.

This is great thread. Yup I really like my A6 , it shifts much faster than the stick and you can launch every stop if you want.
Stick shift is not practical. The Vette has so much power you dont need the M6. Not to even mention any traffic situations.

Default Handicap Parking

Maybe you can get your doctor to give you a temporary handicap parking sticker as well.

I can see the handicap parking spots outside my windows at work and would not want to park there. Neither would I want to park along the sidewalk since I see all sorts of door banging, grocery cart scrapes and side mirror grabbing. No thanks

The A6 always seems to be in the right gear, however I do use the paddles when up in the mountains. It especially helps when going down steep hills.
