East Valley?

I usually see Audi/Porsche, but have not seen Audi/VW. Strange, but does makes sense I guess...somehow.

Seriously, my mom takes her 10 year old Lexus in for service and gets a brand new RX350 loaner. I take my 2 year old Ford (which wasn't cheap) in and get ... nothing. Even after my car was in for a week due to their screw ups.

Funny enough the local auto mall has it's own Cadillac dealer and it's right next to Lexus. They actually kind of flow together.

You're saying that where you are, there are combined VW/Audi dealerships? I've never seen that before!

It's amazing how it still pretty much looks like that.

Yeah, we always used to joke about it. I'm guessing her parents custom ordered it and I seem to remember the premium package being what gave you leather. Maybe that was only for a few years or something, but still really strange.

In high school this girl had a base model B6 A4. I'm not even sure how she did it, but it was so base model it had no sunroof and cloth seats. That's the case of you should have just gotten a loaded Jetta.

Came here to say something similar. Awesome!

My friends '13 335 doesn't.

Yep! My Audi did that right before it decided to start pouring white smoke from the exhaust. Funny thing is, the CEL had been on, but I was told to just keep clearing it. Granted the car had an aftermarket supercharger on it, but you'd expect the tuner to know better.

I want to say they actually did something like that. There was one dude who crashed his car, so they gave him a new Scion (he crash the rental they gave him too). He ended up crashing the Scion.

Q: Where do you go to school?
A: Cal State Northridge

When I went there a few years ago, I'd see certain cars in the parking lot and just wonder what was going on. Make sense now.

It would always bug me how he would make simple things sound super technical and complicated.

At least they look physical. My edge has the touch sensitive ones and I never know what I'm hitting.

I had a non SS Camaro for a couple of weeks. A Genesis wanted to race and lost. He pulled up next to me and said "Should have got the V8". Me: Dude you got beat and by a rental. While pointing to the sticker.

A few years ago someone flipped a rental 350Z at the track. They wrote "Thanks Hertz" in the dust on the car. Oops.

I had an' 04 Audi A4 that I took there back in '08. I was able to sell it for the same price they offered me a year later.

So if you are somewhere where you don't want to have your car keys or other items on you (beach, hiking, etc) you can leave them in the car. Or like the time someone had my Ford and I was picking it up when they weren't around, they left the keys in the car and I was able to unlock it with the code and leave.

I think the crowd's reaction says it all.
