[A4] Oil Break In....

[Nicholas Stock]

Thanks Dan,
 It's the quartz grey metallic with the black (ebony) leather interior...and
those adaptive xenons that turn around corners...you can really see them
moving at night too! It also has the S-line package and the brushed aluminum
trim looks really good...my only complaint is the stereo (it's not the
upgraded Bose)...for a car that costs just shy of 40K you'd think the
Symphony would be a little better...I'll think about upgrading later on...
 regards,
 Nick
