The Audi talk brought up a painful repressed memory for me. I had a 73 100ls in the early 80s. That bitch would sit in the parking lot and laugh at me every pay day and say “where’s my half half asshole?” Funny thing is I really loved that thing on the four days a week when it deigned to run.
What a beaut!!! Geez the B6 was such a clean looking ride. Audi circa 2021 could sure learn a thing or two from their past. Went to the dealer last week for some parts and while a couple of them were nice indeed, many on the showroom floor made me wanna puke. Example: I saw in person the SQ5 with the blatantly fake exhaust. Such a travesty. Whoever at Audi designed that needs to be kicked in the nuts (or ovaries), then be shown some of their older stock for reference on how to design a proper looking vehicle.Quote:

If I can keep scoring dirt cheap geriatric Audis, then perhaps that's a good way to go versus car payments with a more reliable but much more expensive ride.Quote:

There was a sport version of that citation I thought? It dressed the pig up a bit!

Never forget one night got a flat tire outside the one bar in my small hometown, I was in college, and me and my buddy could not fucking figure out how the goddamed jack worked. so this nice dude come over ofers to help he can't figure it out I'm cussin my ass off about what a piece of shit the car is etc. finally helpful stranger goes and gets his jack to his station wagon or whatever and we get the tire changed and my buddy is just dyin.
"you know who that was MT?"
"nah not a clue"
"John Doe Junior"
who's famly owned the chevy dealership in the town, sold my dad the piece of shit car.
I had a cute red VW Fox just out of college when I admittedly didn't know much about cars. These had plastic radiators and I pretty much melted mine driving over Red Mountain Pass one summer. Hitchhiked to Ouray with some nice fellows who had a cold beer for me on the ride down.
Step dad had a purple Gremlin when I was in middle school, absolutely humiliating to ride in that thing!

Heh. VW Fix. A smaller version of the Audi Fix. But with the same amount of problems. My now wife had one when we moved in together. I bought it off her for what they would have given her on trade-in. IE not much. She actually felt bad charging me for it. It was worth it. And while I did have to fix some things after it left me stranded a couple of times, it was still worth what I paid. It rallied great on the back roads and I beat the piss out of it. When I was done with it, I wiped the oil off the engine, sopped up where it pooled on various parts in the engine compartment, and sold it for $500.
I like that. There's got to be someone in New York with that business nameQuote:

I believe Schlemiel with a Schlimazel is in Milwaukee.
My neighbor two doors down has two amazingly bad car choices.
His is a diesel Land Rover. Cool look. But a rattle trap. And the diesel is silly since he lives in the city and only drives it here to the grocery store.
A few months ago she gets a Vw Thing. Fugly cool car. And I guess with the top down it’s a cool beach buggy. Until it rusts out again. Haven’t seen one of those in 30 plus years.
I found the mensch last Friday.Quote:

I always wanted one of those, until I rode in one. It may be the most underpowered shit box ever made. Seriously, it’s like a golf cart.Quote:

I used to drive a Jeep and I almost bought another but I don't have a Jeep. How is Laverne and Shirley related to Jeeps, though?
Hoping that it will make it- "We're gonna make it". Happy you did not get the Trailwalk. Mother-in-law's 12'Overland. Father in-laws 14Trac version, her and Laredo ,Cherokee, driveway shit stains. The part time light in the mid 90's sport was good for a laugh.
