Alright, friends. I went to Dover VW/Audi/Subaru (?) today to have Klaus’s oil changed. While I was there, I think you can guess what I did. I test drove the object of several years of lusting, the Audi A3 2.0T. I was not in the least disappointed. In fact, I’ve fully committed myself to making this my next car:
Barring any major changes of heart between now and the end of November (when I have to place my custom order,) I’ll be in a 2009 Ibis White A3 by this time next year. 
What thinks you, readers?
I love it and want to drive it.
I suggest the Oettinger A3 Sportback bodykit at some point. It’s (read with a Borat accent) “very nice!”
Keith: I like where this idea is going. Yes…yes indeed. Say, you live in Delaware now, yes? Whereabouts?
I live in a small town called Magnolia, about 10 miles south of Dover. There’s never anything to do, unless I would drive to Philly or D.C…. or even Baltimore… Ocean City too.
Also, I very much like the A3 after seeing that bodykit on it. I wouldn’t mind one in the “Deep Sea Blue Pearl Effect” color, although it’d probably be a huge pain to keep clean.
Thus, Ibis White!
I’m in Chestertown now, which you may know…about 40 minutes from Dover (precisely where I looked at the A3, actually.) Same lack of anything to do here, same need to go to Philly or Baltimore or Annapolis to do something.
