Removed the front end from the supra... found Bondo in the lower passanger side front fender 
Luckily it's nothing major (just a few dents) every single VIN is on the car
I'm on my 3rd revision of intercooler piping
Ordered new OEMM toyota headlights, $486 for the passanger side, $495 for the driver side... not too bad

Dealer is sending a tow truck to pick up the Audi today, just can't risk it happening again.

EPC light seems to cover a lot of things, so hopefully they can figure it out.

Sounds like the same symptoms I have when I lose a coil pack.
Good news is that they are pretty cheap and easy to replace:

Bad news is that they are crap, and I personally think prone to condensation forming this time of year and shorting them out, especially after the rubber boot wears out (from the repeated heat cycles it endures). If one is bad, they'll want to replace just that one, but you'll then have a few more fail in sequence over the next few months, especially if a newer revision of the coil pack has been issued for your car since it was new. If they tell you it's an ignition coil, ask them if they will replace them all, especially if you are under warranty to avoid this headache.
The latest revisions are improved, I've gone at least a couple years without replacing one, until just this weekend, but not because of a problem, just because I did them all kinda prophylactically because I was overdue to change my spark plugs anyway (you have to take off the coil pack to get to the plugs), and I figured they were probably approaching the end of life. I usually try to keep a spare coil pack around.

I had the M detailed. She needed it, BAD. There are no more swirls, the tar that I couldn't remove is gone. The wheels have never looked better. The interior looks AWESOME. I'm VERY happy with the work.
Let's see if this works:
