After 13 years of service, it was time. Things were starting to break down and it didn't make sense to spend money on repairs (such as a turbo replacement) that would be as much as the car is worth. Rather than sell it, I decided to donate the car to Wheels for Wishes (aka the Make a Wish Foundation).
The A4 was my first nice car and he brought me much joy since I bought him new in Dec 2000. I hope he will bring as much joy and happiness to the Make a Wish kids in greater Los Angeles.
Goodbye my friend. Thank you for everything. I hope I treated you as well as you treated me. You will always be my first Audi, my first European car.
