For our April Ride of the Month, we chose Marc Miller's Monsoon Grey 2016 Audi S3! Marc isn't new to Audi's, or even the 8V chassis. In the past, he had a few B5 A4's, and most recently a 2016 Audi A3 S-Line in the same color as the S3. His A3 was hit fairly hard in a car accident, and he lost interest in the car after that. A 2016 S3 was traded in at the Audi dealership he worked at with very similar specs to his A3, but with the Black/Magma red interior, and he knew he had to have it!

He transferred over a few of the parts from his old 8V A3, but the mod bug didn't stop there and he hit us up to help out with a whole slew of parts for his new car! While his car might look pretty subtle and OEM plus, there's actually a good bit of modifications lurking beneath. His daily driven Audi S3 not only looks good, but it also lays down a pretty respectable 11.5 second quarter mile time too, reliably and consistently!
