Would love to post a picture, but since Kinja hates me, I can’t. Let me try:

See? Didn’t work. F you, Kinja.

Anyway, I had asked for help searching for cars at !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and then my wife and I narrowed our favorites down to the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Fortune (or debt) shined upon us as we found a really nice 2015 Audi S3 at the local MB dealer, looking very similar to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Only 28k on the clock and the only options are Panther Black Crystal paint, Nav and Driver Assist. Would’ve preferred the performance package, but what’re ya gonna do? Also nabbed a pretty good deal, I think - paid $28k for the S3, they allowed $16.5k for my 2014 BRZ on trade. Every other S3 with similar miles in the country seemed to be in the $33-35k neighborhood.

The car is an absolute hoot to drive, and was well-covered by !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Looking forward to many miles of smiles! :D

I wish I could, but Kinja hates me - can’t upload or link a pic anymore. :(

Haha - maybe I’ll do one in a few months to add to our Oppo review repository. Maybe also by then I can actually upload or link pictures!

That happened to me, but it was because of some browser extension, Ghostery I think. It never lets me on the phone unless I’m connected to WiFi.
