a little of both....normally depends on traffic and time of day where i am at....clear day no one on the road i just go....with traffic it basically the first one...because there are a bunch of retards that cant drive...so ill be shifting rather rapidly(and i aslo want a manual but thats no prob with an audi with some of thier shifters)

no I was just gonna tell you that tehy don't make the A8 in a manual that I know of. I think there might be some A6s out there but am not sure, and I know there are alot of A4's with sticks



If you are looking for a tip trans I know the A6 has them along with the A4 but again I don't know about the A8.

dont A8s have those trannys that you can push the D to the side and push up to shift up and down to shift down? or is that the tip trans your talkin abt?(this audi A8)its shifter is the one im describning)...im a newbie at these things...the shifter is pefect because i can select auto or "manual" so more benifits for me

I agree with CAB - go for the 2.8. Shouldn't be too hard to find one with a stick, I wouldn't think. ***** to the wall probably won't get you 21mpg in an A6, and (¡¡)DEFINITELY(!!) won't get you 21mpg in an A8. I've got a 1.8T tip, and I get around 24-25 even when I'm getting my foot into it.

Or you could just buy a 1.8T and chip it (same quickness, better mileage).

By the way, I guess I'm an a$$, but I'm paying the insurance on that ****. 16y.o. w/ an Audi isn't cheap.

That's cool. My mom has worked at Wal-Mart for 26 years, so I filled out an app. there. She told me my name came up for a position, and they'll do reference checks before they call anyone, so I can only hope. I've got enough in the bank if anything came up, but I would really like to have an income, as well.

Same here. Whatever I make that won't go towards gas and insurance will go in the bank (future chip money, hopefully).

I've got about $1700 right now, but once I start working, thatshould be going up. I usually do pretty at Christmas, so hopefully that will cover most of what my timing belt is gonna cost me next summer, and I won't have to get into the bank too much for that.
