Default 2 more months until delivery

Holy cow, that's a long time. For those of you who had to order and wait for your car, how could you stand it? It's driving me crazy. I just keep looking at new pics of other people's cars on this forum and my heart starts beating real fast like I do when I see a 9/10 girl in real life. I just start imagining how amazing it's going to be driving the new car when I actually get it. In the meantime, I have to deal with people at work making fun of my PT Cruiser. Boy, I can't wait until I shove my A5 down their throats in 2 months. Any way, enough of my rambling... like I asked before, how can I deal with this long wait?

My S5 was only a three week wait, and even that drove me crazy. I think I watched every S5 video on youtube repeatedly throughout that period. It probably makes it worse though. Best way to pass the time would be to not think about it and not look at pics or videos. Hard I know.

The wait will be more than worth it.
When you drive to the dealer on the DAY to pick it up it will be an event.

NOTHING like an Audi !!!

I recommend significant quantities of beer. I think you'll find the wait well worth it and quite the upgrade from your PT Cruiser.

I'm in the same boat. Just find distractions. For me it's either work, beer, or a lot of video games :P

Default LOL of the day

I literally laughed out loud when I read the line about the PT cruiser. Man, you are about to make a huge leap in ride quality and experience.

I went from a Prius to the RS4, so I completely understand. Not too long now.

Dude I waited 2.5 months for my A5. Just picked her up a week ago.
WELL worth the wait but yea, it drove me nuts.

You guys are lucky it's only a couple of months of waiting. When I ordered mine, I knew going into it it would be 3 months minimum. Turned out to be 3 days short of 5.5 months.

I once had an internship where I was given a PT Cruiser rental for the summer. Although I was not paying anything for the car, driving it for 12 weeks was still a frustrating experience; it made my roommate's Hyundai Elantra rental seem like an Audi in comparison. The A5 is going to be an unimaginable upgrade for you.
