Just wish I can afford a winter beater so I can store Goat in my garage.... I guess you can't have it all.

I really like my Pulse Red 04/A4 20K miles. Bought it after the 05s were out $24.5L NEW added the SAP (05) hood, have the grilles and ricer spoiler in the attic probably hit E bay with them,crazy prices for the grilles now.
Good broad torque curve, great handling.Nice to jump in and cruise in to the store or wherever. I just CAN'T drive conservatively,and I only have the 350 hp motor. I have noticed my mileage dropping to the low 20 when cruising though.

The AC will flat freeze your a$$ even with a black interior, a good thing here in Texas Have to turn it down to just the second blower notch.

One thing I still do NOT like is rear seat access. Roomy back seat if you can get there. Had to take a sick cat home from work , carrier wouldn't fit in the front seat, not betweeb the front seats to go in back, nor would the front seat slide far enough forward to get it in back. If they had just added 4" rail slide to the front seat the roomy rear would be alot easier.

Dump that ricer crap on eBay NOW! these items won't be popular much longer. Our cars are now "old", so if they are getting big bucks, go for it.

I was cleaning out the shop and ran across my stock spoiler. I figured I'd eBay it, but thought I should see what others were getting. Just so happens a BRAND NEW IN THE BOX (as in, from the dealer, never installed) stock spoiler was up for auction. I watched it sell for the one and only bid - $10.50. After that, I obviously can't sell it (and I can't bring myself to throw it away either), so back in the attic it goes.
