I was wondering...

[Airbus_A320]

Pat, where did you go?

You do realize you've posted the roads you travel on this forum...so it would be pretty easy for someone to write the police, let them know what kind of car you drive since we have all that information and you speed constantly...Wouldn't be that hard for them to set up a trap, and with this as a reference you can bet they would.

Now that would be getting pwned...

My new Audi > Your new Audi. Mine does the iPod playlist/artwork integration on the MFD straight from the factory, and it's useful for something other than trying to look cool and driving stupidly fast (like transporting more than 2 people), which is good since I don't care what other people think! Best of all, my boss is paying for mine, so it's free.

Damn Kilroy, whats your job title again? haha

Ya, my car didn't come with the hi-line cluster, so i can't display that on my MFD (Jetta basically has the same one has the Audi's). But i think there is a way that you can change it, as for the ipod adapter, they just released one that actually displays which song is playing etc...Which is very useful as the older one (the on in my car) doesn't do that so you kind of have to guess.

Director of Sales.

Director of Sales.

Getting a company car is about the only benefit of being a travelling salesman

I would not expect a company to provide this type of car other than higher management people though. Good for you!

Pat. There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots. But there are no old bold pilots. For someone who wants to be a pilot, you don't seem very safety oriented. My car has a 4.5 liter V8. But I never go more than 5-10mph over the speed limit.

What are you driving Chasen?

Please read this story and keep it in mind, we got lucky...The other person may not.

Man you are one lucky guy.

I don't plan for an accident either

And for a while I didn't plan on having an aviation accident caused by pilot error. And I didn't plan on getting furloughed once I make it to the airlines. Now I realize that no one is above making a mistake at the controls. And no one is above getting furloughed in this industry. I'm not invincible. Now I don't plan on being an airline pilot. But that won't stop me from spending many a hour in a 172. Hopefully I'll be the safest I can be, so I don't end up another mark in the injuries column of the NTSB database.

I come from a town that is pretty wealthy. I see my peers getting brand new audis, Lexuses, SUVs, etc. Not only is it a waste of money (these cars get trashed plus a 16 year old doesn't need a $35,000 car) but putting that much power in the hands of a teen is just plain dangerous. For this reason I am going to purchase (for myself) a pre-owned Accord, etc., something reliable, decently comfortable, reasonably nice, safe, economical, and inexpensive to purchase. It won't attract many chicks (I can handle that on my own/have a new one that hopefuly I'll be boking for a while), but their fathers will love it. I have no doubt that I'll one day own something like a TT, but by then I'll be able to appreciate it for what it is-a precision German-engineered performance machine, and not a chick magnet/adrenaline rush-inducer. And hopefully I'll be able to appreciate the danger it presents and be able to use it responsibly.

I see. So that's where your forum name comes from

LOL... I'm not a travelling salesman, thank God. I'm actually second in command at GJ, below only the President. My title should be more like "Director of Operations" than sales, but it is what it is, and I make decent enough money and get a kickass company car, so I'm not complaining about a few words!!

Nice car Chris, here those Q7 look like monsters, compared to the other cars on the road.

That's the perfect way to look at them .

A6 hatchback on steroids . And as nice as the interiors look, I can't see myself ever driving such a car, the fuel consumption alone is enough to scare me away. Granted, it's not as bad as the Cayenne, but still.

[seahawk]

And finding a parking place with those must be pretty frustrating too. I am more looking at going smaller and less fuel consuming, once I replace my 150hp Golf V.

For a minute there, I read that as Gulfstream V

Too bad!

Oh yeah, in a city like New York, I wouldn't touch a Q7. The parking situation in the vast desert of Vegas isn't bad though. Any place you'd want to go has either a huge level parking lot, or a huge parking garage with plenty of spaces (casinos).

[pkonowrocki]

Back to the subject,
Chris in that Q7 what jacks do you have in your audio system? Only thing I have is the line-in. And yeah, that is a nice car. German cars are the best (waiting for the fight to begin)
