Car Finally Delivered!

[Mikefo]

Never ship a car over the holiday's. Not sure any truckers work between Xmas and new years and then it snowed but my RS6 arrived and I have to admit I am impressed so far. Basically like new. It had clear 3M film along the front that had served its use and it was time to remove. But a quick trip to the detailers and some wheel work has it looking like new. Still need to get the wheels touched up but then she will be near perfect. 24.5k miles on the clock. The dealer offered me an 3/36 extended warranty that I am going to buy for $3,400. Plan to do a couple of things as far as maintenance goes but I plan to drive to piss out of it. Sold my BMW 3 series daily driver today so I will be putting 5-10k miles on per year. Previous owner just put in a k40 radar a few months ago that I hope to test. They claim they will pay any tickets for the first year so maybe I will give it a good breaking run somewhere. Here are a few picks:

Sweet. Who did you use for the auto transport?

Its a time capsule. Finally

Congrats and let the fun begin. Where was this thing listed?

Oh....the pinstripes. I hope its tape.

I used Lloyd at show car services out of Detroit. A lot of attention to detail on the delivery of the cars. Took the driver hours to offload the cars to get to mine. Not a scratch on either cars I had shipped. They only use box trucks, no open air shipments. Just took forever to get the car due to weather and holidays.

Nice looking beast. Gotta ask though, what's up with the red pinstriping?

[lswing]

Red stripe and floor mats are a bit weak.....nice ride otherwise....

Das auto shippers, just sent coast to coast for 1300, perfect...

Looks amazing for a 10+yr old car. Which black? Not Ebony Pearl.....is it?

Needs lowered!

The pinstripe is actually Orange. Not sure what to do with it. Maybe it will grow on me.

Floor mats are Original Coco Mats http://www.cocomats.com/ and they are extra nice in the car. If you never owned them then you don't know what you are missing. I buy them for all my cars. They hide dirt and look great (at least in my opinion). Agree on the Orange pinstripe. Maybe buff it out this week.

Say it isn't so...

Pinstripes are painted? I doubt they painted them

Pick at them with your fingernail to find the edge.

If painted, find expert help...dont just hit em with a buffer

At first glance, I thought those mats were carpeted OEMs that were flipped upside down by the transport driver.
I am clearly not a fan as I am entitled to my opinion; a set of All Weather Mats that snap in and call it a day.

If the intension is to "hide dirt", you clearly haven't seen Mr. Mop-N-Glo inner fender well man...

Hey, hey, hey

I think I resemble that comment. I don't know anything about no MopnGlow.

Clearly no rain or snow in the part of the world where this car resides.... OMG.

[DHall1]

Its the Mop n Glow....

My cars are real easy to work on.

[Bigglezworth]

This is CLEAN compared to either of my rides here.
