I’ll second this. I’ve had almost every minor niggle you can have, but no major failures. And even the carbon cleaning issue is overblown IMO, but ymmv.

Colonel Sanders was also a fucking nutcase maniac.

Not a single mention of the (IMO) superior brother to the Helles, the Dunkles? Isn’t Helles just a lager anyways?

I believe Krystallweizen is just a filtered Hefeweizen. Hefeweizen is what Blue Moon would be if it were good.

Okay, well different strokes re: 335i and S4. But I’m sorry, the RS4 and the BNS version of that 4.2L don’t suffer from the tensioner problems you’re talking about. The B6 S4 with the 4.2 definitely did though. But I was talking about the RS4. I’m also on Audizine and Audirevolution. Look in the RS4 forums. You’ll see

Yeah, that’s the BNA (?) and not the BNS that’s in the RS4. Different engines. Don’t let that scare you away from a B7 RS4.

Carbon issues don’t really affect reliability all that much, until it gets super duper bad. It’s a ~$1-2k fix at your local indy Audi shop that you’ll do once every 50-100k miles depending on how meticulous you are. As for timing chain tensioners, I’ve never heard of that being a problem on the forums I frequent. And

The B7 RS4 made 90% of max torque at 2000-ish rpm, and just due to gearing and so on, you never really drive it below there anyways. At least you shouldn’t, since you’d be lugging the hell out of it. In any case, it was a high-revving V8, which means it was specifically not designed to make huge torque at low rpm.

budget $3k per year, and you’re in the ballpark unless you’re doing the work yourself.

Hi. Black on black Audi owner.

If you look at Minnesota all the way down to Louisiana, it looks kind of like an elf/gnome/someone pudgy with a funny hat. Tennessee is that elf’s penis.

Bavaria’s obviously pretty large, but I always thought they were more lager drinking and the north of Germany was more pilsner?

I haven’t seen anything else like it. It was also the first time I saw Ellen Page I think. I liked it a lot, but I haven’t seen it in a while. I’m just learning that Wilson was on Broadway and all that. Neat stuff.

I was introduced to him as the creepy perv in Hard Candy. I might have a slightly different view of the guy in my mind than the rest of you haha.

Nah, I don’t really think machismo played into it much, at least not for me. It was really more about “how stupid can we be and how much can I make my friends laugh?”

I used to play in a band and our singer would get a sore throat sometimes, so he’d carry around a big bottle of lemon juice (because that somehow helps?). We’d take turns seeing who could take the biggest chug.

in case you’re interested, the plural would be Heckblenden. also, all nouns are capitalized in german.

Comey was in constant contact with the Obama White House during the whole ordeal and had their blessing for his “grandstanding” press conference. Honestly, what were his alternatives if he thought (like most of the country) that Hillary would win? Suppress the news until after a Hillary win? Good luck convincing the

I like mine (RS4, not R8)because the V8 sounds like Dimmu Borgir’s sewing machine. The AWD makes it feel like its on rails. Everything just feels solid. Best interior I’ve had in a car.
