^ Those wheels will be the first purchase I make when I buy my S2k in a few months. We just had our first blizzard here on Monday (12in of snow) so not too much longer before I start legitimately looking!
I put my S away for another winter over the weekend, since our first snow was coming. It'll be another winter of living vicariously through you guys who get to live in warmer, less snowy climes.
Enjoying all the talk of wheels. I'm considering going the other way next driving season, back to my AP1 stockers. I have them, in my basement, with the original now 12-year-old SO2 tires on them. It's now been four years since they've been on the car and I'm feeling a hankering for stock.
Just messing with you, even baby slides with little drama are still very fun. Every time I see a right hand turn with good visibility and a protected green light, I get excited.
Fk yes! I had only had the car a few months there and hadn't really nailed down the whole forward moment in addition to the sideways...I wanted to go sideways but I then shat my pants and overcorrected in a major way.
I got schooled in physics that day!
haha yeah. that almost happened to me at the track on the first session. it was like my first time pushing a RWD car in the corner. i was so overwhelmed. I didn't get to correct it enough to push forward obviously, but at the same time, I didn't fully spin out. My car just went right-left-right in a very rough fashion. It probably looked super noob from behind.
But then now when I want to turn off the nannies and take that favorite 90 degree turn by my place, it's soooooooo fun.
downshift to 2nd
mash it right when i exit
the rear kicks out and counter it
it kinda drifts up the hill
Oh..... I've actually never done that before...... I'm too scared. The only spirited driving of that car was going up the Big Bear mountain. I remember it was understeering when i pushed it too hard..
What would happen if I do it with all the nannies off!?

Not sure with a AWD cars.
4 wheel drift FTW! While the BMW I had didn't have enough power to really powerslide (safely) in the dry, it could do some epic powerslides in the snow. Basically you have the rear kicking out and providing the cool factor and the front pulling providing forward motion. It's pretty fun, you should try it.
Just have to make sure you don't overcorrect. Overcorrect and you look like a newb when you spin it out. Not enough throttle and you make a safe turn around a corner. Gotta have the perfect balance of gas and steering angle to get the 4 wheel drift.

No you don't.

Either you're lying or that Audi is taking it's sweet time in plotting the demise of your wallet.

That's interesting! I'll find a empty lot and try it out first.
I remember trying to take the 90 degree turn fast with the nannies off couple years ago. I think I made a very safe fast turn.
The B8 A4s have a pretty good reputation on the reliability part. The first 3 year of B8 A4s have an oil consumption issue which can fixed with a dealer visit. That's the only known issue. I've been on Audizine ever since we bought the car and it's the same til now. Hopefully it will be trouble free for another 2-3 years.

It really doesn't look that impressive on the video .. I seriously felt like I had the car so sideways

Makes for some interesting runs to the grocery store .. that's for sure .
Lol... it sits, plotting and waiting, for the opportune moment to destroy your bank account! Financial ruin... is its only iteneriary!
It'll be one fine summer day, after years of no problems and low cost of ownership...the reign of the Audi dealer will begin. After the dashboard lights up like a christmas tree, the electronics go haywire, the turbo gets full of sludge, and then they hand you a $5k bill to fix it only to have to bring it back the next month for more. That's when you'll wish you bought the TSX wagon.
The problem is that I don't ever want to buy a new car again, and buying a used Audi means I have just that much less warranty. Some of them seem to be ok, but there seem to be plenty of lemons. I'd be terrified of owning one.
