update

[c a l i b a n <caliban@sharon.net>]

	i re-ordered my 2000 a4 avant quattro.

	i had originally ordered the 1.8t in gloss black,
	but i don't think i can handle such a delicately
	colored car.  given that the 1.8's have black trim 
	and a black roofrack, it was going to look GOOD
	with the windows tinted really dark and all.  but
	i think i should do the sensible thing...

	after fighting with pelican blue, that crimson mica
	color, and the dark green color, i went for the dark
	green metallic, a lot like my urquattro.  i went 
	with the black interior. options:

	sport package
	sport seats (cloth is the only option :(
	gps navigation system
	xenon headlamps
	audio package (bose+in-dash cd, no rear cd-changer)
	winter package
	convenience package

	hrm that's all i can remember.  mike, what else did i 
	get? ;)  i prety much got everything except the cd-shanger.
	apparently, since the 1.8t i sthe cheaper, weaker car, 
	no one gets them loaded.  after a chip and a k04, this
	sucker won't be weaker anymore... at least not until the
	s4 avants come.  hopefully, then, i'll trade in.

	urquattro update: new suspension (new stock shocks, new
	bushings, new strut bearings), brakes, new injectors, and
	some minor repairs are scheduled to be completed tomorrow
	and i'll pick it up.  new cat, too, to flow better.  they
	are telling me it runs really amazingly now.  i'm thinking 
	about upgrading to a much stronger fuel pump but i don't
	think it's worth it if i am going to sell the car.  btw i
	had the 2-caliper brakes put in.  as long as i had to 
	replace the rotors i figured that an upgrade was a good
	thing.  i'll probably wait a month and then stick ads
	up all over, especially the auto trader or whatever.
