My family's had a couple of Passats, including a B5.5 model, which is what this Audi is. The Passats both got seriously expensive to maintain as they aged. I can only assume that this V8 Audi would be even more so. Perhaps that's why they're selling it in the first place?

I think they're tuned to run rich.

A few months ago, I was on the highway with my window down and a (still lit) cigarette that someone threw out their window landed in my car. It burnt the upholstery in my passenger seat, I burned my fingers picking it up to throw it back out of the car, and my car smelled like smoke for a few weeks afterward. Now it…

Things I've Driven:

Are you talking about that trainwreck of an article about the new turbocharged engines? I don't think that had anything about grounded to the ground.

This has been known for years. Using current agricultural techniques/methods, it takes more than a gallon of gasoline to produce enough corn to make a gallon of ethanol, which contains less energy than gasoline anyway.

You may want to check your maths. There are more than sixty seconds in an hour.

There's a lot of morons on the internet. I apologize for assuming that you were one of them.

A city based on my foursquare data would look like siberia.

funny how the suspension isn't compressed when the car's in the air.

I always wear a helmet when I ride my bike. I've split helmets in half more than once. Better it be the $50 helmet than my noggin.

My first car had manual windows. And no AC, so the windows were always down in the summer, unless it was raining. I could easily reach across to get the passenger window, and I could reach behind me while driving to get the left backseat window, but that right rear window always eluded me.

Mars Rover wins a GT simulator.

I think that's exactly what singleoverheadcamzombie is looking for. Backup cameras are nice, but often aren't worth the cost to someone on a tight budget. Same deal for fancy audio systems, automatic lights and wipers, power locks/windows/mirrors, etc. I like all those features, but if I'm just looking to spend as…

I'm 24 and living with my parents, not paying any rent. It works out well for everyone involved— They're out of town most of the time anyway, so I'm able to keep the house in order while they're away.

Custom Convertibles are very rarely NP.

I think it's more "heightened convenience" than "heightened security"

S3 wagon/hatchback with manual transmission please?

Probably not, just about any running car in reasonably good shape is worth at least $1500 in my area, no matter the age. Last summer, I sold my beat-ass 1991 Camry for $1800.

It's a 2.0T. I think it has some sort of e-diff, with an optional real lsd.
