No, they aren't Skittles. Those are my old dash bulbs. Several were burned out, so I went for modding the dash, by replacing the 1.2 W bulbs with 2.0 W bulbs for more powah! I replaced about 12 bulbs (some I replaced with like-wattage bulbs), so 12 x .8 = 9.6 W of additional light energy. That equals...

0.01286863271 HP!

I also replaced my trunk shocks and finished installing the K&N filter (and blingtastic heat shield). Only 17 more items on my initial post-purchase punch list.

Jimmay!

Wouldn't it be more like -0.0128683271 HP since you are sucking away more power to your lights?? You should pull out all the lights, everywhere...all except for one single tail light like F1 cars!

Default I named my car...

...NESSIE!

(Note: This is a cross-post from AudiWorld)



Why Nessie?

- She is rare like Nessie.
- She weighs as much as Nessie.
- She lives near a lake.

Sightings should be rare, since she isn't my daily driver and is likely to be a garage queen.

I don't believe the pictures, I think they are doctored. Now, if you had a video of Nessie....

Shun the non-believer! Shuuuuuunnn....

I promise that these photos are real. If you don't believe me, you can ask Bigfoot, because he drove the car around while I took pictures.



You guys suck for not believing me.

Jimmay!

LOL! "No sir, officer. Leadfoot hasn't been seen around these parts in years. Most folks say he's a myth!"

Jimmay!

So out of the ashes a phoenix ......starts!!

Jimmy quote "My stupid Audi has been in our shop for at least six months. It started out as a supposedly simple steering rack rebuild and ended-up being a quagmire of problems that left the car disabled and the team frustrated. Last night, we got enough of the car buttoned-up to get it to start. It doesn't seem like it should be such a big deal, but it was a huge encouragement to the team"
