That's why I bought a panzer plate! FTW

Ha ha, yeah that's in there on my list. I don't even have a plastic plate right now.

Thanks everyone for that advice! I really hope I win as well! I really need to get down to a more oxygen rich atmosphere, I'm embarrassing other Audi owners.

The plastic pan is just a sound deadener anyway, if you were to hit something that would be dangerous to your oil pan...it would just break through the plastic anyway.

A sound deadener is $160, plus one f-ed up oil pan can run you towards $200. You'd probably have to get your *** towed to somewhere to get fixed, plus you'd have to buy new oil that spilled all over the road. The panzer plate just paid for itself twice over. That simple.

Panzer Plate for the win. I have the stock sport suspension and last week while pulling into a business driveway, I bottomed out. It saved my *** already. FTWx10000

Not to mention the damage rought by the massive loss in oil pressure/oil lubrication if you're going at any speed. You can't shut the motor off fast enough to avoid damage.
