Thanks everyone.

Those who have seen the green dial live know what I am saying when I describe it as truly stunning. I had my reservations about the color before seeing one in person. Some of the pics make it look more "Kermit" than "Polo" which had me worried before seeing it live. When you have it on it is quite subtle, almost black in normal light and lightens up in the sun to a med green. Next to the YG, a perfect combo.

I am very happy with it and need to continuously wipe the drool off my chin!

Thanks again to all for the well wishes.

Bring it on Marc!

You have to hall 2000lbs of bricks in your trunk to even the wight out out! My friends Bro-in-law has a tweaked S4 with 600hp. Still street legal but races it at a track by his house in Il. He keeps asking to drag me and I keep telling him "No prob. Bring a chain and I'll drag you around like a Tonka Toy!!" His response is .

Patience may be a virtue but alas my friend, it's not one of mine!

As I mentioned, I was looking for a black dial mostly because I hadn't seen a green and my first thought was, "Green? Ehh". After seeing one, I new I would be happy with either. I found out right before I pulled the trigger from one of our mutually favorite TRF members, if I bought it and didn't like the green, he could get me a black dial so my risk was nada.
