I was under the impression it wasn't an option, but you're right.

And yeah, ESP wasn't offered in US pre-99.5 A4 models.

I'm not getting my hopes up. It's a car.

I apologize for my ignorance...

I just posted this for fun man, I realize my car isn't going to sell for $500k at auction in 50 years for being a "one-off." I see cars very similar to mine all over and acknowledge that AoA very well might be bull-shitting this all or they might look at very, very minor differences.

I'll use more caution when posting in the future.

When people think your car is 7 years newer than it really is, you have a special car
You lucked out if the euro-trunk came stock! And yeah, they're definitely special regardless of "rarity!"

Sorry, didn't mean to sound like a dick. I'm more annoyed at AoA for doing this to everyone.

No worries, it's cool. Yeah, I'm sure they're more concerned with trying to make people happy than anything. Especially with all of the customer service horror stories floating around.
