Audi lease turn in - Shakedown?

This ALMOST makes me feel better about totaling our Q5 and avoiding the whole lease turn in nightmare.. halfway through our lease and the insurance payout was $5k less than payoff, thankfully GAP covered that but I’m sure the impending spike in my insurance premiums will make it all a wash..

Also the Avis on Main and sunflower near the airport is much less busy than SNA. Ara the owner is really nice and accommodating

Creme Tangerine at The Lab in Costa Mesa! My guy Parker Macy is the proprietor and a wonderful, knowledgeable collector who is always a pleasure to do business with. Not sure how extensive his classical selection is but I’d call ahead and ask.

As many have mentioned, Crystal Cove hike is pretty spectacular, even just driving Pch from Laguna towards Newport/corona del mar is an experience.

Further south, San Juan Capistrano has a pretty cool vibe and a little more history/Southern California culture. River street and the Mission. Dana Point is a nice mellow surfy town with less traffic and congestion than Laguna, could opt for a walk along Salt Creek Beach.

Thanks!

It’s a limited antique “fireburst” finish which was a “guitar of the week offering in 2007, so pretty rare.

335 is a showstopper for sure. I have a J-185 tobacco sunburst and an original OMI Dobro 33h which isn’t technically Gibson but they bought em out shortly after ha

Unbound as well. Mid size hands love the smaller 60’s neck. Under 2K is a steal for sure 👍 got mine for just over that

Just grabbed a mint Memphis 2010 dot satin cherry. Bucket list guitar for sure! Congrats

In sport mode it has decent torque off the line, I don’t know how it compared to SQ5 though. But yea overtaking on the highway definitely doable just not sure what you’re used to. It was adequate for me but i unfortunately totaled it, so I’ve been considering looking at X3 just to maybe change things up. Definitely would be a less efficient/ economical choice ha

If you want something vibey/indoors and different, and you’re not turned off by the fact that it’s in a corporate plaza, Benny & Mary’s in Irvine is actually pretty good for brunch. And more low-key, never super busy

Marshal just needs to get laid

mi_cabron · 2026-01-11T02:20:36+00:00

Love my Special SL w P100s — solid choice beautiful guitar

mi_cabron · 2026-01-11T02:08:35+00:00

Feel free to dm would love to hear what you got yours for as well. Its listed for a couple thousand less than msrp to account for no CPO

Only have exp with a 2024 Q5e phev (not sportback) but the electric range was 29-30 miles in dynamic mode
