Picked up my new daily driver today, a 2003 Audi A4 1.8T.

I got rear ended in my MkV Jetta TDI a little while back, and although it only pushed my rear bumper in, the insurance paid nicely. I took what little money I could scrape together and went to look at an '83 Mercedes 240D in New Hampshire, but it was in rougher shape than it said on craigslist... so I went home. On my way home, a friend of mine messaged me asking to buy my TDI. With that sold, I had enough to go looking for a decent daily. I almost got myself into a pristine TT, but the seller wasn't being too accommodating, so then I found myself at a dealer looking at an A4...
It was a pretty decent deal, so here I am. Theres a few interior things that I need to take care of for my own comfort, but lowering springs have already been ordered. I don't have too many big plans for this car, but wheels and a few exterior accents are on the list. The plan is to make this a functional daily, but still be modified enough that it suits me.
