I have the "crap falls apart" edition. I heard this edition was very popular on '96-'01s?
yeah
me personally I have the very special orange glow dash accent on my car (ie. the CEL is always on)
I have a very similar glow, only mine is from the ABS lights...

cloth sport seats are the best, especially if they are heated. I must have the same 97 Special Edition 1.8T! Lets start a sub-forum! I kidding, but not about the awesome seats.

well as soon as I get home today I will try to post some pictures. For some reason my camera decided to not work with the computer anymore.... but if I dont have a special edition, then what do I have? Just picture stock cloth seats (not sport), all black, with like littlewood grain-ish/wavy designs embroidered into the cloth. I've tried finding picture of them, and searching my *** off, but have found NOTHING. The guy told me when I bought the car that he had to special order it from a dealer in another state and go pick it up because he had to have that EXACT model in laser red and with some other features like the sport wheel and sport 2.8 wheels on it, and aparently it was hard to come by or something....
Sounds like the guy was going for the hard sell, if you ask me.

Look in your spare tire well for the options sticker and run them through this decoder and let us know what you got. I guess if theres something special it should show up there. I found another option build sheet stuck in the springs of the rear seat but it was written in German.

yes, you do indeed have the super special edition.
But in all seriousness, there is absolulty nothing special or good about cloth seats........ Audi does not make special cars for people.

Disagreeing. I dislike leather and especially leather seats. I don't like when they are slick, or when they're sticky. I <3 my cloth.

nope, he was living in arizona at the time he bought it, and drove to utah to pick it up. There's a stamp in the front of the service book that says "Ken Gariff Motors Provo,Utah Special Pickup/Service Delivery"

He was a really honest guy that I bought it from. In his mid 50's. He almost cried when I pulled the car out of his driveway, he loved that thing...
