My new Wheels

Saturday, August 9th, 2003 | Giggles

I’m SUPER excited… Did the deed today. Got new wheels. Come Monday this is what I’ll be drivin:

I’ve really been likin the Audis and once I drove ’em I was definitely sold.. VERY well put together snappy little cars. Drives like a German car without the price tag of some of the other ones.. I decided on the wagon just because I got SO used to the cargo space in my 4-Runner and the Audi wagons don’t feel like soccer mom cars like some of the others.. (Ok – maybe a LITTLE like Soccer Mom cars – but I’m a big fan of the soccer mom so thats OK)… The other thing I wrestled with was whether to get an automatic or a stick and actually went with the ‘tiptronic’ automatic which seemed like a cool compromise. It lets you shift up and down if you want to but you don’t HAVE to and the fact is most of the time I’m commuting to and from work and i’d rather not deal. But I may miss the stick (no clever comments thank you)

And until then this is what they’ve got me drivin in the mean time:

The TT is a cute fun car but a little TOO cute for me in general – but a fun car to have for the weekend! 🙂

Still not a fan of the whole car buying / haggling / trade in experience… But i’m SUPER Psyched at the new car… Drives like a dream… Tricked out with the features I wanted and none of the ones I didn’t… Woo Hoo… 😉

Schweet! I’m jealous – we need a new truck but I have to run this one into the ground before I bite the bullet (just the way I was raised, I guess) so I’m going to live vicariously through you.

ps – the last webcam pic made you look like Ben Affleck and this current one makes you look like Nicholas Cage. Just thought you might want to know that, ya know, I’m cam-stalking you.

LOL.. well my 4-runner was about to give up the ghost and I didn’t want it to go in mid commute which is why I got the silly thing…

Nicholas Cage? Think I’d rather aim for Ben! But stalk away baby – I’m always happy to have stalkers like you…

You mean stalkers that live a thousand miles away…

If there was some way to keep the Pete Cam running on my desktop I would. At least like this you know I’ll be visiting your blog way more often than is probably healthy.

Ecstatic joy I feel for you and your new Audi!! Just yesterday, I was admiring that very car parked outside the laundromat.

Hmmmm…let’s see: it was Bjork on Friday and now a new Audi. Just what are you trying to do here, Pete? 😉 Seriously, congrats on the new car!

Just gotta make sure I have a car that isn’t going to fly apart as I drive to work – that would be BAD…

Enjoy your Audi… I do! Couldn’t be happier with the car and the service (3 years going strong.)
