I haven't seen that. My Windows 7 box with gigabit ethernet will do 125MB/sec.

That should be a nice understated setup with the white exterior and solid black interior! :cool: I see we're getting the same options aside from the colors and the front plate. :beer:

Yes No, the stock wheels will be used for winter tires. The plan is currently for Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D tires (245/40/18).

Whatever comes on the car to start with. Then Conti DWS.

My 18x8.5 ET38 Forgestar F14's are now ordered.

Tablets have LCD displays with LED backlights not OLED displays. For the most part only some phones have OLED displays.

I have a commission number. Now the ~3 month wait begins.

I'm not sure if there's a limit on certificates or how that all works... I'll see about asking him. Michigan doesn't do front plates. I just want to make extra certain that I don't get a front license plate holder on the car since I think it looks a lot better without it. vs. I'm not 100%...

Isn't that a woman?

True, the biggest question in my mind is the Adaptive Damping Suspension. I don't think it will be $400 like it is in the UK, but that would be really nice if it was. Everything else I figure will be basically the same price as 2012 with the crystal paint being ~$750 instead of $475 for a...

There's nothing quite like ordering a car when you don't how much the car is or any of the options. I hope I don't get any unpleasant surprises. :owneddnce:

Here's what I ordered: Premium+ 6MT Estoril Blue Crystal Black/Silver Fine Nappa Leather Nav / MMI+ Advanced Key Sports Differential Adaptive Damping Suspension B&O Guard all-weather floor mats and trunk liner Without front license plate holder I plan to get CF trim from oCarbon.com later. I...

According to Audi it's $300 over invoice. To further complicate things, after I told dealer #1 I was walking because another local dealer would accept the certificate they decided they were willing to accept it as well. :frusty: Since they had my deposit and I had their first S4 allocation I...

Today was an interesting S4 related day. The good: The local dealer I was working with got their first build M2013 S4 slot Someone I know works for Audi and got me a Friends + Family Certificate (discount pricing) The bad: The local dealer I was working with won't accept a Friends + Family...

In the US the S4 has no restrictions on any interior / exterior color combinations. Canada on the other hand has restrictions on interior / exterior color combinations.

Class action lawsuits are great for the lawyers and terrible for the plaintiffs.

Not to be snarky, but is that not something you were expecting?

B&O is not standard on Premium+, but is on Prestige (like MY12). I did not place an order yet. The dealer I've been working with doesn't have any S4 build slots allocated to them yet. I suppose in theory they could place an order in the system, but it will just sit in limbo until they have...

After seeing the order guide here's where I'm at. Premium+ Estoril Blue Crystal Black/Silver Fine Nappa Leather Nav / MMI+ Advanced Key Sports Differential Adaptive Damping Suspension B&O Black Carbon Fiber Trim from oCarbon

I just got the US order guide from my dealer. link No pricing yet.

I wouldn't draw any solid conclusions on the US P+ / Prestige standard features from the two Canadian packages and what comes standard on each. I did like that the adaptive headlights are optional on the lower trim level in Canada. Hopefully they'll be an option on the US P+ cars instead of...

So the Canadian product guide and ordering info are out for the MY2013 S4. link

We primarily grocery shop at Meijer.

It couldn't happen to a more deserving company. They have simply outlived their usefulness.

Yes it is.

Well, I wouldn't pay MSRP for an ordered car. When I bought my Maxima I couldn't get any local dealer to budge from MSRP for an order, but they would sell a car off the lot for invoice. I ended up buying it from a dealer in Canada for less than MSRP and got a great deal due to a very favorable...

An OCZ with firmware issues! That's totally surprising to me! :eek:

I'm surprised you haven't set up a 2.4gHz wifi jammer already to screw with them. 5.0gHz WiFi exists for a reason. ;-)

Properly encoded AAC @ 64kbit/sec is definitely listenable and not the disaster Merc describes, so they must not be using the best encoders and best settings.

I have a copy of most of my music library in AAC simply because it is smaller at similar fidelity to MP3 so I can put more music on my iPod in my car. I certainly wouldn't buy music in AAC (or any other compressed format) though.

I generally buy used CD and rip them to FLAC. I'm not going to pay money for lossy mp3s. If someone wants to sell bit perfect DRM free FLAC files for less than the cost of a CD I'll consider it. So far, for the most part, that isn't happening.

They're also more prone to heart disease and diabetes.

That is a pretty cool PDF. I liked all the exploded and cutaway diagrams.

I sent a PM to Handy about it ~3 weeks ago. He said he would look into it.

You re-dip them.

If you want a matte black finish plastidip 'em.

I couldn't do a matte finish on any sort of daily driver since it would end up getting polished by any abrasion and you'd end up with an inconsistent finish.

A powdercoated finish will be more durable. Some people claim that powdercoating aluminum wheels weakens them from the heat in the oven. In theory that's true, but a wheel maker is going to use low temperature powder coating process to avoid that issue.

Isn't that $2380? (1350+250+620+60+100) The Hankook Ventus V12 is a pretty well regarded summer only tire. What finish are you going with on the F14? Reportedly all the finishes are powder coated now, though I'd want to double check that detail.

I think everyone is jumping to conclusions. Until the updated F@H client is completed and benchmarked everyone is perhaps complaining prematurely.

Time to hit up the forums. I'm sure people have done it and documented it.

Forgestar F14's list the A3 as valid fitment. You probably need something like a 18x8.5 ET45. How many more miles do have until your warranty is up? 18k miles? At the point you are in your warranty I'd be looking at APR stage 1 w/ CAI over STaSIS since the warranty is potentially less...

Another thread is probably best so any one else interested can follow along instead of thinking we're still talking about S4's. :p

FYI: STaSIS acquired REVO Technik today.

Well, I think it's safe to say that serious gamers are the largest part of the market or they wouldn't have sacrificed CUDA performance for power consumption and graphics performance.

Are you "giving" money to relative(s) now or did you just buy your freedom?

Obviously not for some people.

I really hope he's talking about some sort of stress ball / physical therapy aid.

I'm guessing something else...

I have a fully refundable $500 deposit holding the first MY2013 S4 order slot at the dealer I've been working with. BTW, I think I've officially flipped to Estoril Blue Crystal Effect w/ the Black / Silver Fine Nappa Leather. With proper care neither the darker paint or the lighter leather...
