They are quite large. In Alaska - lots of large trucks. Notice the Hummer parked next to me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay, my two contributions to this thread. The parallel spot was in a really busy car park with about 500 cars and lots of turnover. The other, more obnoxious one in which I took up two spots was in a commercial lot at work. Management prohibits taking more than one spot, but as I park as far...

Yah those look good too. The only wheel repair guy in my city doesn’t have the equipment to maintain the diamond cut face, so paint was my only option. I thought about multicolor, but settled on the full black. I like it. I wasn’t planning to black out everything on my car. We’ll see how it...

I had mine painted matte black... I like the way it turned out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes exactly. It was the oil fill cap. They said it was loose, or not seated properly. Mine has never come back on again. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yes, the only real contribution I can add for you guys in England is the relative performance at lower temperatures on dry and wet pavement (no snow). I picked up my car in Ingolstadt in May, spent two days on the Nurburgring, and drove hard for 2,500 miles through Europe - up and over the Alps...

I live in Alaska and we have a long winter season, pretty much from November through March. Although we can have snow as early as September and as late as the end of April. I have been using studless winter tires for 10 years + I noticed on my S 5 that the traction on my 19” Hankook...

I had that happen on my new S5 too. I drove it home and let it sit, restarted and error was still there. I ended up having it towed to dealer. They said it was a loose oil fill cap , which caused vacuum leak in crankcase, etc. They put the cap back on and all was right. Sent from my iPad...

I bought the Audi all weather rubber floor mats and they have the logo in red on the front mats. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I also just realized there was a cool little glovebox just to the outside on the drivers side. Quite handy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

True that... I have pictures of both. Here is a 2018 S5, compliments of Mops. . I pick up my new S5 in Gotland Green on the 29th. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The current manual for the 2018 S5 says that you shouldn't exceed 2/3 of the maximum RPM for the first 600 miles. Then you can gradually increase the RPM and speed between 600 miles and 1000 miles.

Just wondering if anyone has sorted out the answer to this question? I'm trying to decide if I need upgraded pads/brake lines/fluid for my 2018 S5. I am planning a two day Nurburgring event, and want to make sure that braking stays strong.
