You should definitely join us for autocross. I would go as far as to say without autocross and track days, most of us wouldn't feel comfortable going as fast as we do now. It is all about knowing what you can do and can't do with your car.
Thanks! I'm thinking about trying for that one coming up on 10/2 in Santa Clara.

Oh man, I got all excited when I checked your link at first, but then read that convertibles require roll bars to participate.

It was my first time there and the wife and I agreed that this is the best chinese restaurant we been too. And of course the "crack" chicken was up there with what I had.
Another mini meet there soon!!


obsess2k'ed- I'll probably be there if some of the guys are going, but won't run it. AAX isn't my cup of tea.

Even though this was my first run I'm not sure I want to go on any more of these. Being surrounded by modified S2000s is not good for my wallet! Now I want a Comptech exhaust, a wing, some eyelids... Damn you guys!!!
I could see that look in your eyes that you wanted the exhaust when we were on 19th ave!

The same thing happened to me. I didn't want exhaust on my s2k before I started hanging out with these guys. Now the Comptech keeps me cozy at night...

I have to give it to Audi for always being a big step ahead of BMW in the interior/center console/gauge cluster dept. No doubt, the gauges and center console on the S5 is beautiful!

But that's about it. LOL. My A4 was a nightmare and I'm soo turned off by Audi that I don't think I can give them a 2nd chance.

Totally understandable. I don't think I would have given them a second shot had I had an earlier Audi. The new ones are much improved reliability-wise. It was something I researched heavily before picking one up. I believe 06-07 is when they jumped on the charts to an above average reliability ranking. FWIW, I'm not a huge fan of older Audi's and DeSilva's (new designer) is what drew me in.


Thanks for the pic, Vu!
