Replying to myself.

I had 15-20 *parts* on that truck. Somehow, that word got lost in an edit. Oops.

This is why I read jalopnik, the comments that give as much or more insight than the article

And for those of us who prefer not to drive a truck with the handling characteristics and dimensions of a school bus, there’s always the 2003 Dakota with the 4.7L V8 and 5-speed manual. #savethemanuals

I had one of those 3.7 manuals. I do miss that truck, especially after putting in 2012 seats.

So I’ve got 15-20 on that truck. Well, closer to 15 on that one, because as a manual, it doesn’t have the transmission coolers or cooler lines that an automatic would have.

Yet to be answered is if the suspension completely broke on the landing.

The police ramming these rioters don’t really bother me . There is a difference between protesters and rioters  .Protesters should be protected rioters need to be protected against . When a crowd attacks it can get real ugly real fast .

The purchase price is almost irrelevant when it comes to old audis. They’re all $15k cars. You can pay up front or later on.

Plus it’s one of Audi’s best designs, IMO.

A guy approached him at a gas station and said his boss had ordered too many used A6's and needed to unload them quick.  He also had speakers for sale too.

Hell to the fuck no.

Today is unboxing day.

I love how the day after you road-trip out to pick this up, we get a “There’s shit wrong with my J10!” article. The lack of surprise in my voice should be palpable!

I wouldn’t deal with this thing if you gave it to me for free.

Driving the J10 from Detroit to the east cost is a story itself.

I also can’t wait to see the video of you towing David’s truck with this thing after the J10 breaks down halfway home ;)

These guys often spend a couple hundred on many pieces of crap, so a few thousand on one piece of crap is honesty more efficient.

“as I pee a little bit from exertion as we lift 800 pounds of Changli into that truck. I can’t wait to show you everything.” I think I speak for many when I say I don’t need to see that.

Y’all need to check out the Facebook group Underappreciated Survivors (1973-2001). There’s loads of clean cars that are spotted or owned. It’s a fun trip for people that appreciate this kind of stuff.
