Don't make the same mistake...

Nick Cats,

Correct-a-mundo. That is precisely what happened. I just talked to the service department today and they said all the work would be covered under warranty. I asked them what the price would have been if not under warranty...1200 clams! After I awoke from passing out, I made a mental note to never do that again.

As for A3, I really like the car just for the fact that is seems very fast, stable and can load the moutain bike and ski gear. Lola has 20K more miles before her warranty is up so I will either be looking at a new Box or something else...the Audi A5 looks pretty sweet. However, my closest Porsche dealer is 350 miles away...that sucks. Who knows what the future holds...I leave the Army in a 1.5 years so I might be driving a unicycle because I can't afford the second wheel.

good to see you are back home enjoying "normal" life. I'm stuck out here in UAE for another month. Weather should be great for some top down driving when I get home. Would have to say that after 2.5 years of tax free, you should be able to pay off the Boxster by now! I just used all of mine to pay off my Audi A4.

Speaking of the Audi/Porsche bebate, (since I currently have both), I take both cars to the same Audi/VW/Porsche mega dealership for servicing. And it is funny how much better the Porsche side of the house treats me. I think the Porsche side gets the fact that you have bought into the experience of owning the car and being part of the brand. Audi it seems has turned into another car giant that is just pushing you through as fast as possible to make a buck. You get the same level of service from Chevy. However, I still love my Audi, and will probably replace my 04 A4 with the up and coming 08 A4 or the 08 A5
