Tommy and Tammy’s bay area (and other) adventures

Cow palace dang think they only sell guns there now

It was the place at one time

Boogie down now !!! At least Earth Wind and Fire are good

Although the venue sound system is poor as they said it was

Ok I will stop
Bitchin and moaning at least other than me everyone around me seems to be having an awesome time and that’s great to see and hear

Great to see all the smiling faces and hear all the laughter !!

A seat won’t matter now as everyone is standing and you can’t see the stage anymore

Hey it’s all good !

Found a chair of sorts

Lots of cops on patrol even on perimeter in case anyone decides to come shoot up the place

Couldn’t see even like this

Made my way to the front and saw a bit of the concert
Santana got the crowd going with stuff from Abraxas but then lost the vibe a bit with some newer unknown stuff and didn’t touch on a lot of newer stuff that was a lot more powerful

Left early and couldn’t find my car for an hour among the 20 thousand cars there

Finally a little
Prayer was answered snd the car popped up

I spent 3 hours in 100 degree heat in my car with a broken AC and that wiped me out before the concert even started

Lots
Of old farts
Like me there because Santana is 70s man!!

But glad to see some twenties and 30 year olds there too

Plus quite a few harley riding grandpas and two with young chicks on the backs.

Grand daughters maybe ?

Well that sucks - hate these money grabbing types of events…

Outdoor shows are a big no for me, due to the reasons you specified: expensive, bad sound, and worst of all threat of rain. Also normally have to drive (so can’t have a proper drink) or camp (too old).

At least it’s an experience - have fun! :sweat_smile:

Evil ways at shoreline

My TT or I should say the missis’ TT arrived today
On the hook now for a six year loan

And Jaysus never thought the insurance would be 300 a month just for that car for two people with great driving records

Shopping rates now

When does she take possession - ie - drive it home? Or has that happened?

Photos too please!!!

Next Monday I’m going to pick it up

Make the most of it while you can - a long detour on the way home.

300/month!
Sheet. My parents get under 100/month for big Chevy Silverado 4x4.
Perhaps CA adds to expense along with the make/model.
Try AMICA. Should have comparable rates and get bonus back at year-end (usually).

The TT is much more expensive than the normal audi suv and sedans it’s up there as far as audi that are expensive to insure

I remember a quote for an Audi A3 was about 100 a month for the two of us

Our Prius was about 100 a month too but we are moving to Sf and that jumps to 1800 a year

The TT is 3600 a year for SF but about 2900 a year in Martinez where we are now

I guess hitting a cow in Martinez 35 miles north of SF is cheaper than if we were to hit a Tesla in the city

P.s this is triple A I’m hunting for better rates now

Talking 100/300 and 500 deductible

Salesman took these as they came off the truck today

Made in Hungaria


225 hp direct fuel injection turbo
Bang and olufsen stereo
Palomino brown full Napa leather seats diamond stitch
Quattro all wheel drive
Audi beam rings
Rubber mats and wheel locks
Navigation built in
CarPlay and android auto
Heated front seats

Mud and snow 18 inch

Taking to the snow

Looks great. That insurance is hefty though. What sort of mileage do you do? In the UK you can pay by the mile. I pay about £300 for the year for our A6 living in London as we don’t do much driving. Anything like that available in the US?

Anyway, enjoy the car. White looks crisp.

Dam your insurance is cheap
This is for 12000 miles a year and it’s 3600 per year

Comp and collision minimum 7500 miles a year runs 1200 a year for most normal cars with excellent driving record

Specialty cars like TT and other sports or sporty cars can cost more

Insurance is very model and location and driving record. Specific
Tesla
Are
Expensive to insure I’m told

You pay for the privilege.

Doesn’t sound all that successful to me…

Yeah they charge you more because they can

Didn’t read the whole thing did ya ?

You decided to get a flashy car.

You don’t know how hard I tried to get a crosstrek instead

After being threatened with divorce I got her the TT
She pulled out the big gun on this one !! And not the big gun I wish she would’ve pulled !

Total waste of money
Unless you are of the you only live once thinking

But dang those TT
Do drive nice !
I came to sign papers and took the car on a run up the Berkeley hills . Admittedly it’s pretty awesome feeling from the inside and driving it The auto spoiler came up so I must have hit 90 on the freeway
So I backed off immediately
It carves up mountain roads
She is going to have a blast

She hasnt seen it yet

I would’ve saved 60pct of the money and 60pct of the insurance by getting the Subaru crosstrek which I think makes much more sense for us

Because like James Bond I plan to live twice


TT’s big brother
