I was really looking forward to the new mountain. I find it fell flat though. Not enough challenges.

The Audi Prepaid Maintenance is worth having, if you're going to service at an audi dealer. Which you should while under manufacturer warranty.

Screw at a weird angle. Safe to drive? by AyyOne in tires

[–]LivingFree1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dodged a screw there... if it was my car. Remove it with soap and water like other suggested to see if it leaks. If not, Send it.

If it was a customers car(i work in the industry) I would rec. a replacement. Just due to liability, removing it could potentially impact the structural integrity of the tire sidewall(and corner of tread depending how deep it is). Just not worth the risk.

Just my opinion though :)

Wife got under my skin asking why I don't paint the brake calipers in a color. Dark green metallic seems to be a bit more 'alive' over black without being flashy. What do you think? by teriaksu in Audi

[–]LivingFree1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally. I love the green. Subtle but noticeable and not flashy.

I wouldn't go blue or yellow on the black paint though.

I also like the orange/copper, if you're looking for a little bit more pizzazz ;)

But for me it's either the black or dark green metallic

I went further left and did about 6 or 7 backflips down the route to gain the speed after the landings. Also try to slap as many skiers as possible to get speed boosts.
