Got that, it's in the Cold Weather package.

Probably gonna need Ousdahl to cover the upgrade to 35X11.50 Trail Grappler tires.

Yeah I remember you had one of those...my new neighbors next to me have a bright blue one, it's pretty sweet. I still have my 15 A4 s-line with the black optics package...those 19" wheels are rough sometimes, especially if you hit a pothole...lol

Also miss the rumble of the 4.2 V8 in my RS4.
AWE exhaust with piggy pipes. At stop lights, you could see people looking around to see where the muscle car was.

A guppy dragged a sports bag across my hood over the weekend and there are some very thin, but noticeable to me, scratches.

I'm maybe a 4 or 4.5 out of 10 on handiness.

How difficult is DIY scratch repair, and does doing it yourself save enough time/money to be worth it?

I don’t remember the details, but years ago I had some scratches on my rear quarter panel that almost entirely disappeared with some like...touch up polish or something?

Depends how deep the scratches are. If it's just a surface scratch some wax might actually take it out.

and yet our government continues to subsidize the fossil fuel industry to the tune of about $20 billion/year while the companies that comprise that industry get fat on profits

Get ready for $5 or $6 gas by next year. Cars are also going up because of chip shortages. No one producing things, who saw this coming?

Well our dollar is intrinsically backed by oil. Opec only trades in the dollar. We cant afford to let fossil fuel fail....our economy and dollar value is tied to it almost entirely.
