My CS saw 1000 miles on the odometer last night, so I decided to celebrate with a quick blast to 5000 rpms (I've been trying to be good about this break-in thing).

I was only there for a few seconds in second gear, but I'm still smiling about it some 18 hours later...

On the morning of the third day with my new CS, we awoke from a great nights sleep at our B&B in Cape Charles, Va. to a beautiful, if chilly, morning.

After cleaning up, we headed downstairs to another great breakfast - we're really liking both B's of this B&B thing! - and some interesting information about the town as provided by our hosts.

From there, the dealer sent a car to pick us up and take us to my parents house, (A very nice perk, we thought!) about...

As noted earlier, after much research and pondering and lurking around CC, I contacted an out-of-state dealer (the sales manager is a friend of the family) to order my '08 CS.

The logic I attempted to use in choosing options for the car was to go for performance first, with convenience second. I did not get any options I thought may be desireable, but felt I could practically add myself at a later date. Coming from my A4, which I had moded fairly extensively, I have experience installing...
