To be honest, I don't play with the paddle shift as often as the time when I first got it. But it's good to have it and you can just "launch" it when you are in the mood (like flying a fighter jet). LOL
Just went down to AK to order the M5 trunk finisher today. Something to look forward now. I just can't think of anything else to do on my ride (maybe the CF interior trim & the LCI taillights). Will see.

ET. I see that you have some Okada Project Plasma Direct. Can you provide more details about it ? Thanks.
it's a ignition coil with an amplifier in it, so the spark will be much stronger and last longer for each combustion, hence more efficient use of the fuel.
afterall the engine is about combustion, this is like giving the car a strong heart muscles.

Your "Mod Coming" line seems to grow faster than your "My Ride" line. 
Neither a M5 engine nor Supercharger will be considered for me as performance is definitely not the focus of my car. If I need speed, I will just get a second car like a Porsche or similar. Thanks anyway.

You can do CF roof, CF intee trims, LCI taillights or maybe an M5 engine which hides under AK's loo.

Morning drive is a big challenge for many of us
I am not an early person, but the morning drive was a very nice experience. The streets are filled with exotic/classic cars from other morning drive and it just feels good.

Q5 is the most impressive car i tested on that day! 
Believe it or not, even more impressive than the R8 and RS6 (As you wouldnt expect 2.0 Q5 can run fast on track)
Great engine which a 2.0T can perform 3.0 level,
Good to drive and great on mud/gravel surface.

Yea, that improves the rev range, or maybe you can add supercharger in it!
No Joking, you know i were thinking to do it 2 years ago but just no balls to do it
