Default I Got A New Toy Yesterday! *Edit* - New Pics!

Yesterday I drove up to Ohio and traded my cammed '99 M6 T/A for a bone stock '98 A4 'Vert. I didn't know how I'd feel about being in a stock car again, but I enjoyed it. I'm gonna do some bolt-on stuff, but that's about it... for now. She needs a little TLC, mainly cleaning and door glass adjustment. BTW, the 17x11s will be on the rear as soon as I cut the bump stops. I'll get some more pics up soon. Let me know what you guys think!

I originally wanted a 'vert, but I couldn't find one soon enough, so I just settled with the '99. Plus, my fiancee loved the T/A, but she can't drive a stick-shift too well. It's a clean slate to start modding too

Looks good. It's different to see a guy go from a m6 to an auto...

Nice car... You will love the A4 setup...
Well, stick some gears in her, and you will love it more.

looks good with the rims on there too.

Looks nice I guess whatever makes you happy altho I would have stayed with a cammed m6 rather then a stock a4.. but see if you like it in time.

Looks good I wouldn't mind having a 'vert either. Those wheels look sick on that car. Good luck with the new project.

Thanks again for the comments! Honestly, it was worth trading just because this 'vert is soooo much smoother. I drive my car nearly every day to school and the setup I had on the '99 got old pretty quick, if I didn't have to drive it daily it would be different. I was willing to sacrifice the M6 for my fiancee so she can enjoy it too and if I ever feel the need to row some gears, I still got my Vette NICE Camaro Z28bryan, I gotta get this one that clean! Nice to meet you too gimpala! BTW, he's got my old car for sale if anyone's interested.

Well, I finally got a few better pics. She is still dirty, this black is tough to keep clean. I still have to do a few more clean-up things like polish the tail light filler and get the whole car buffed and waxed. I'm also going to have the exhaust worked out soon, in the form of a Loudmouth 2 this car is quieter than my fiancee's Sebring 'vert, weird huh? Anyway, enjoy this pics!
