Hi Leonard,

Thanks for the welcome. As for the gender of my car... well that's a discussion I think will take this thread in a whole new direction .

Thanks again and I hope all is well in Calgary!

So... I've just returned home from my first night out in the car... .

1/2 Tank of Shell 91 Octane Gas: About $34
2 Lattes to stay awake: $11
Making everyone of your friends jealous of your sick new car: PRICELESS!

WOW!!! I can't believe how happy I am with this vehicle. Every aspect of the car is perfect! Balanced, ample power (it will be better after the APR tune), brakes are solid and the sound system is incredible.

My only critique... it seems as though the condensation from the A/C runs out above or around the exhaust. There is a slight intermittent "sizzle" that sounds like evaporating water on a hot exhaust pipe when the A/C is on. Sounds stops/subsides a couple of minutes after the A/C is turned off. Has anyone experienced this before? This is the only explanation that I can come up with so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

In terms of pictures... Well it started to **** rain about 45 minutes after delivery... sooooooo my (once) shiny white car is not off white from the door molding down. It will be cleaned and posted by Saturday night.

I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I'm still smiling. I can't wait to drive to work tomorrow!

Your smiling? I'm grinning ear to ear reading your post on how happy you are. Do me a favour and PM tdenton. He has the same car and had his chipped. He can tell you the pros and cons and his experience. If you wait he will be at the Audi of Mississauga event and you can talk to him there.

Hey Mike,

Thanks for the contact. I will be at the meet on the 8th @ Audi of Mississauga for sure so I will meet up with him there. Any idea what the "sizzle" might be?

congrats and i have to admit as well that im smiling ear to ear as well reading your excitement. should wait to put on 5,000kms as well before chipping it that way its made it past its initial brake in period.

as for the sizzle i have no idea... but that meet at the deal on the 8th is a perfect type of thing to ask them about! but if it was me id do a quick google search and if nothing comes up id go back to the stealership... i couldn't wait 2 weeks to have it looked at!

congrats on the car and looking forward to the pics!

Thanks for the congrats and advice. I will, without a doubt, be at the Dealership meet on the 8th. As for the "sizzle", it did not happen today with the A/C off on the drive in to work, so I'm gonna guess my assumption was right... for now. It'll keep an ear out though and take it in if it becomes a common occurrence.

Pics to follow this weekend.

Cheers Folks!
