The Misano blog is the story of James' adventures with his new to him 2008 Audi A3 2.0T S-Line:

08/27/2009: Took Misano down to Alley Kat for her to get the windows tinted. 35% on the front, 20% on the back and a strip across the front. Much nicer not to be baked by sunlight. Is fall coming?

08/26/2009:  I recieved the Dension ipod adapter in the mail, took about an hour to get the radio out, remove parts of the glove box and drill some holes for wires to pass. Overall it works great and charges the iphone/touch just fine.

08/08/2009:  Today the Carbonio arrived and I installed it. With the windows down you can hear the turbo more than before, but you can also feel more effortless acceleration in the top end gears as well!

8/06/2009: For my birthday, Ana bought me a set of the deep groove rubber floor mats - these are REALLY nice!

08/02/2009: I spent the better part of the day with the rotary polisher bringing out even more of the shine in Misano. She has some flaws I am not going to be able to fix - but I am OK with it!

08/01/2009: I took Misano to Fixx-tuning in St. Pete to have the APR Stage 1 engine tuning software installed. The car really flies now - not that it didn't before. I also order the APR / Carbonio Carbon fiber air intake.

7/26/2009: I spent the better part of the afternoon cleaning up Misano, she was very dirty from driving her home from Atlanta yesterday. I added some pictures from first thing this morning and after the detailing this afternoon...

07/25/2009: After a few weeks of searching and looking for it, I finally settled on a used Misano Red, 2008 Audi A3 S-Line, with Open Sky, Titanium Package, Convenience Package and a little over 15,000 miles on the clock. I sold the BMW on 7/24/2009, and flew to Atlanta to pick her up today. I made it from the dealership to Tampa in just under 7 hours, including stopping to eat and bathroom breaks.

At any rate, click on the pictures link to see her.
