[s-cars] New Q7

[Lee]

Just picked up the new Q7 today.

What a ride. It's so freaking smooth and comfortable. So many 
buttons, features, etc. It took me 5 minutes to figure out how to 
turn off the driver's tushie warmer...I was getting a hot seat, and 
once I figured it out, it was intuitive Doh, but it did take a while.

The kids *love* this thing. And even SWMBO says she could get used to it.

The full moonroof is awesome...we drove the Bay Bridge in the dark 
and the kids loved looking up at the bridge through the moonroof.

Unfortunately we have to give it back to Hertz on Friday. :)

Dumasses at Hertz didn't have my fullsize Caddie waiting for me at 
SFO (can't beat $50/day for this piece of floating Americana), so 
they offered me a Mercury FRV, a full size van or the Audi. Guess 
which I chose. They did ask for a small additional remuneration, but 
hey, I will be putting 600+ miles on this thing over the next week 
cruising through Monterey and down the coast to LaLa land, I figured 
it was well worth it. We already took it up Mount Tam and to Muir 
Woods, and I would not have wanted to do that ride in anything but an 
Audi. With sport mode!

And the experience has opened the door to replacing the wife's C4 A6 
with a Q5 down the road, so it's all goodness :)

Oh, and I've got VIP tickets to the Tour of Amgen Prologue in Palo 
Alto on Monday. Any other Audi-ist bikies planning on attending?

Oh, and btw, FRV = Florida Retirement Vehicle. :)
