I fit a 75" TV into the back of my ‘95 Audi S6 Avant with no trouble at all.

I’m a renewable energy source!

Just remember, the number of people older than you never increases.

I’m about to drive my 1995 Audi C4 S6 with 299,540 miles on it from Albuquerque to Denver tomorrow, along the back way (US 285, through Alamosa and then further North through Salida).

Much of Europe has regular safety inspections.

My parents used to bathe me in cheap Australian lager.

The last GTO wasn’t even made in America, but rather by a bunch of Foster-swilling Holden workers, so I think you might’ve been sold a bill of goods, mate.

I’ve had roughly the same experience in my old ‘67 GTO. They were equipped with shifters from Hurst, which seems like a solid, reliable brand, but man, it is a hot bag of garbage, in my experience.

That’s a given.

I mean, that’s what I have, so... I guess?

I’ll take a good set of snow tires over AWD any day of the week.

Given the increasing interest, the old Ur Quattro/UrS models from Audi could sure use a little support here in the US. Audi has Audi Traditions, which services pretty much everywhere except the US, so the parts, the production capabilities, and the goodwill exist, but the drawbridge is, for some reason, still locked…

One warm Spring day in 2009, I found out the clutch for my Infiniti’s air conditioning compressor had gone. I looked up the part and found they didn’t actually sell the clutch by itself, you had to buy the entire compressor. Then, because I’m a pedantic shit, I looked up the replacement procedure in the FSM, and read…

The hazard that precipitated the fallout of the ‘08 crisis was when the morgage backed securities were repackaged as higher quality products than they were. These auto backed products are not. That “junk” rating keeps the big players (institutional investors, retirement administrators, etc) out of the market.

I hold on to all of my cars until they’re stolen or unserviceable.

Thanks, they’re my first automotive loves, and I’ve owned them forever.

When I’m forced to be the warranty, then I might add some power. As it stands, I have 2 years left on the CPO warranty, though.

I’m with you, we just picked up a ‘17 Alltrack for my wife, and I legitimately love the thing, even coming from its “proper” Quattro forefather, the stately UrS6.

If they’re generating a substantial amount of downforce using the ground effect, then the suspension can’t be all that compliant, or you risk disturbing the air going under the car.

I don’t have to hear the lane departure warning, or the parking radar telling me when I’ve pulled too close to the drive through stanchion.
