Next Mods: Aftermarket shocks and sway bars.

Finally posting a pic of the S4 w/ the new wheels on...

 

 

7/30/08 - Alignment performed, also had Diablo Audi install front license plate holder, don't wanna get a ticket for not having one displayed.

 

 

7/17/08 - (5) 19x8 (ET35) B7 RS4 Replicas (Achtuning.com) w/ 235/35 Falken FK 452s, new lugs and wheels locks. Weight: 26.5 lbs. (called them to verify). Note: they're not Hartmann wheels, it's their "value line" wheels made in China.

Also, had major service (55K mi. service) done today at Diablo Audi (a little early, but I don't mind). The service advisor did a maintenance history check and confirmed that all previously scheduled service were performed up to 45K mi. That's good info to know, but I should've had them check BEFORE purchasing the S4. Next time, I gotta remember that.

 

 

 

7/10/08 - I traded in my VW Passat and bought a 2005 Audi S4 (B6) for $21.5K (Build Date: 6/04, Non-CPO), a good price from the research I did on Autotrader, Craigslist and Audiworld Classifieds. It feels sooo good to be driving a luxury sports car again! I love it...and so does the wifey!!

I've been an Audi fan since 2000. My two previous Audis were: '98 A6 2.8 (C5) & '00 A6 2.7T (C5). This is my first brand new Audi and first-time S4 owner. Also, I enjoy chatting and made a lot of friends at AudiWorld.com. I usually hang out in the C5 A6 Forum, B6 S4 Forum & NorCal Forum. Anyway, thanks for checking out my ride!

Previous Cars: '92 Toyota Paseo (Charcoal/Black), '95 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS (Dark Green/Gray), '97 Lexus ES300 (White/Gray), '98 Audi A6 2.8 (Silver/Royal Blue), '00 Audi A6 2.7T (Silver/Charcoal), '02 BMW 540i (Slate Green/Off-White) & '01 MB S500 (Silver/Charcoal).
