However, I'd like to tell a story first.
So if y'all knew, I had a black '15 Q5 3.0T in Mythos Black Metallic; APR Stage 1, KW HAS, HRE FF01's to name a few of the mods I had done.
Here's what the car looked like when I bought it back in July of 2020 with ~65k miles:
Here's what the car looked like at it's best:
I work valet, here's mine with some other "family members"
Here's the last video I got of the car (CTS air intake, muffler delete);

Well, you know what they say, good things sometimes have to come to an end.
On a rainy September day in Texas, somebody in a red F-150 decided to make a left turn from the far right lane and cut me off in the process.
And after a long battle with adjusters and insurance, on October 4th, 2023, at 88,008 miles, Buddy's life had officially come to an end, as did a huge part of me.
As insurance totaled the car, it'll now be sent off to the highest bidder, and I really hope it goes to someone who cares as much as I did, so, if anyone is interested in parts, the engine is still Stage 1 (~440hp), the car has KW HAS with less than 8k miles, and the interior is still in immaculate condition.
Here's the copart link (which my insurance put up before I even agreed on a final payout value of the car, thanks a lot...)

(If you're wondering why the wheels are now black, it's because I may or may not have taken my HRE's
)So, after searching for something I was happy with and felt remotely close in "spark" to what I had before (which was tough because I LOVED that car), I stumbled upon a 2016 SQ5 with only 31k miles (which seemed too good to be true). And after doing a PPI on the car, we went ahead and put a deposit down on it. Four days later, I drove it home.
Here is my 2016 Audi SQ5 Premium Plus in Mythos Black Metallic:
I finally got carbon fiber!
So, this is where the car currently stands. I will go back to APR and eventually go FBO, will most likely do KW V2 coilovers (I'll be in touch Mops
), another CTS intake, and either a muffler delete or a full AWE system.If you made it this far, thank you for reading, and thank you for all the help y'all have given me over the last three years for Buddy(V1)/Steve/Luna/Whatever name was funniest at the time.
I can't wait to (properly) show y'all what's in store for Buddy V2.
Now onto better (and faster) things!
