Default 2000 miles in 48 hours!

So heres the story:


A good friend of mine went into the marine corps for basic training, and he was graduating on the 18th at 9 AM. His father gave me and 2 other buddies 500 dollars to get down there and back becasue he couldnt afford to buy us plane tickets. We started driving about 1:45 from madison,ct, got stuck in george washington bridge traffic for 3 hours, and made it into south carolina at parris island at about 5 45 the next morning. We were so tired from driving we bought a hotel to sleep for an hour and half, as it takes about an hour to get onto the base and have car searched etc. We saw him graduate and drove back and left at 3 oclock from parris island. I got home here at about 6 in the mornin, as it was quicker to drive back becasue of no traffic. On the way back, we did some fun stuff like get nice fireworks and mortars, and gave a car full of girls our number by passing it to them at about 60 mph out the window right after the goerge washington bridge. Why am i telling you this story? The Audi made the trip comfortable and i love my car becasue:

Whoops i hit enter sorry, but i love the audi becasue: the suspension makes it so comfortable, like your gliding on air, the handling/tires allowed me to swere out of the way of a new jersey state cop that almost side swiped me, becasue its damn fun to go 110+ constant through north/south carolina on I95, E-code w/ Hid make night driving great.
Bose with the extra woofer sounds great

Trip Totals:
31 Red Bulls

421 dollars spent between gas,hotel,fireworks,redbulls


All in all, what a great trip with a great car.

In early summer next year the A4 is going to see about 4k to 5k for a road trip. Should be a good time.

I did 1700 miles in 28 hrs by myself twice nonstop, and it sucked really really bad. Of course, I wasn't driving an Audi. lol

Beats me. 1400 miles, non stop in a 1976 Mercury Capri II.
Well, I did stop for an hour and lie down in the hatchback area for a snooze right after I took an exit ramp at 70 MPH and nearly put my car in the ditch.
