Hi all, has ben awhile since I have been in Iraq. As if a year in Afghanistan was not enough. Well I have to keep my V8 on the road so I dont know when I can retire from the Army :-) I bought a 2004 Acura TL before I left but just cant part with the V8. And yes the wife is so happy about that. Anyway came accross a 04 A8 here. Had to wipe my eyes and look twice. Last place in the world I expected to see one. I wanted to get a picture of it but turns out the 4 Special Forces guys inside thought differnt about so I declined to piss them off. I only carry a M4, M9 and 2 frags, those guys have all the TOYS! After he found out I was Special Ops he opend the trunk and gave a show and tell, and let me drive it. If only one could get good fuel here, well it was nice except for the fact that one of the headlights was broke out, one of the tail lights as well and the 4 bullet holes on the drivers side. Take care all should be home late this year.
