Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer

It's a lot brighter and it's a pearl effect paint. If the sun would ever come out we could get some better pictures.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Called the local Audi dealer today and got some good info.

They can usually only see warranty and recall work that was done at other dealerships. Anything paid out of pocket doesn't go in the system. The exception being when the customer has Audi Care. It's basically a pre-paid service package. The previous owner had it.

The long and short of it is, they stayed on top of their maintenance. Oil changes seemed to be done on time. The brakes were flushed in March 2019 per the recommended service interval. The water pump was replaced in October 2019 at 44k miles (car has 59k now). So that's good news. The last thing was the rear seat was removed and reinstalled in 2017. There wasn't any included detail on why. Could have been a noise or a pinched harness or something. It doesn't sound like anything to worry about.

From everything I can see, someone took good care of this car.

Got the owners manual out and found a couple of LED light units in a bag in the pouch. Had a hunch on what they were, so I hooked them to my bench power supply. They're those silly puddle lights. :lol:

It'll be up to Vira whether I install them or not.
