:fullretard: called the salesperson who will "investigate this".

Yea... :mahtroy: luck over here. At least I have the car :doe: and its in good shape.
Yea, it's just a matter of paperwork now...which is :rage: but will also work itself out.

Title processing needing the DMV confirms they don't have a title. Whatever.

The fun is amplified in one that has an engine, the :manuel: Pooper S was magnitudes less fun IMO.

I also am starting to feel like the Auto may be the way to go. :iono: The way it pops off 4 shifts by 30-40mph is just epic. This is the closest thing to an electric car in terms of power delivery, so you get the noises of gasoline as well as the range but epic torque to have fun around town.

This pretty much sums up my feelings on the PDK. Initially I was really :notsure: I was going to like it in the longer term, but was going to give it a fair shot. Now I'm really impressed with it.

Small update:
Tint appointment scheduled for next Tuesday. This car needs it, to get away from the fish bowl. Thinking of going 50% front and 25% rear like I did with my :egg:

Exhaust:
Needs to happen but I have no leads yet.
1. Borla cheapest at $400-500 new, and easiest to install
2. Factory pop pop JCW pro exhaust with the bluetooth :wtf: flap controller is somewhere in the $1-1500 range, I prefer OEM to any sort of aftermarket... but the install is not super easy, and this may be difficult to find.

Any input from those in the know?

A high quality ceramic would probably do wonders on the bigazz sunroof too.

Regarding the exhaust I'd probably go for a valved unit since there may be times you don't want to hear the POOPOPOPOPOOOPPP at full volume.

Does AWE have the switchpath option for it? Probably cheaper than OEM with the same functionality.
