Your video made me feel like I was on drugs

Damn I couldn't imagine seeing my car in a blanket of snow. I wouldn't be able to drive it. I'd have 10 jackets on.

well the adapter you will use when you are trying to bolt the 2004 TB to a 2009 Manifold as the manifold bolts are in different pattern than the TB bolts....

the spacer has through and though bolts, so they are only for similar model....

At least you don't have to worry about the snow at the moment, when Spring time rolls around, you'll be ready to get a set

Yupp

Oh by the way last night my dad told me that we could go to skiing for free because of our insurance or something.
Whole season

Deal they have is 45 min to Boston, not a location I like but still good

I go to NH for daily, 2hr drive but worth it

and he said to mom lets go and test the Q7
Will trade in the Suburban and DTS

We will sell the MDX

Suburban and DTS is left from his old limo company... didn't go well
closed it

I am excited dude, can't wait to see what it will give or take.
Small mod but I am positive I will feel it.
----
Naah, all I do is Transportation autocad drawings
but since am an intern, small things come-up, but I have to finish my work too.
Will take off in a hour to deliver some plans... "Transporter"
All I need is a black Audi S8 but I prefer d2 model

Came to my mind, so I'll explain it
Moms side is half German
Grandparents lived there 40-45 years, still have cousins there and blah blah
It was I guess 1998 or 99
One cousin drove from Stuttgart to Istanbul one summer to visit

Had a black d2 a8 or s8 don't remember exactly
From that point, love started
never liked the S series
Don't like the newer A8s also but..

From big saloons, old 745i is my another favorite (that low look of the front end, straight flow of the body from side ughhh )

Awesome. Yeah, I know it...
Actually, I had never even know what "Audi" was but then I thought back and my grandfather actually had an audi (must have been the A6 or 8) in Switzerland...we're talking like 1992 or 1994 or so. Something like that.

Crazy.
