I'll walk you through the carbon cleaning...
I'm sure it'll be exactly like the 2 I've already done.
Truth be told...I wouldn't mind one of these one day either.
Or Marcel's Q7.

 

Can't wait to drive it ... a comfortable / torquey boat sounds like the dream!

 

Dude, it'll be a dream.
It's an Audi!
Now you'll have 2 and get to fuck other people's wives in front of them instead of vice versa!

 

Buyer lined up for the BMW today at noon - guy wanted the car so bad he sold his E46 325Xi Touring to buy mine .




12k miles in 1 1/2 years .. few faults along the way but what do you expect, it's a 17 year old German car used as a daily

It'll be missed.

 

Yeah, I'd miss it too. Gorgeous looking wagon...

But, you did upgrade to an A7.

 

Yup - it'll be missed until I drive the A7.

Few more months ... can't wait.

 

 

Some updates .. good and meh.

The good:

- BMW is gone.
- Got some pictures of the A7 - car is well optioned and in decent shape .. you can see the damage on the driver side rear quarter panel. I'm confident I can make it look pretty damn good with a polish / DIY PDR.
- Secured the deal. They were asking their son if he was interested and said no thank you .. he'll stick with his Honda Pilot

The meh:

- Car probably won't be available till April / June timeframe .. the car they ordered was awaiting shipment, however, they got the options wrong and it added some lengthy time on their delivery date.

Not horrible news but, I can wait ...

 

What car did they order?

Car looks awesome! Should make for an excellent daily.

 

April? What the fuck are you supposed to drive in the meantime?
Also, why the fuck did they even bring it up to you before asking the son (assuming I read that right)...
Either way, that thing is gonna clean up SO well.

 

Guessing you're DDing the Eth Fo?

 

No mistaking this car for a Kia/Hyundai.

 

Looks like the new Sonata to me. Just has those weird Hyundai rings on it. Must be some weird KDM rebadge.

 

Didn't you have an S2k as your only car at one point? Or am I thinking of another Tyler?

Eh, 2 cars left over and TT ain't no beech. I'm sure you'll be fine. Are you even commuting these days?

 

Rims are in good shape I take? I think plowing the wheels into curbs is just a Yumcha thing, right?

 

Just a Canadian option. US-spec Owdis have curb avoidance as standard equip.

 

Some Toyota hybrid thing .



I will attempt to give it the proper Jeremy treatment - first thing I want to do is correct / ceramic coat / buy a car cover - I would feel bad letting a car like this sit in 105 degree summers .

Oh, and pressure wash the wheels!

When the MDX isn't here and I need to make a trip to the store / anything that has to do with a car seat, yup .. S4 time.

Aside from it's god awful mpg and grabby 6 puck clutch, it's actually a great daily .

Seats are super comfortable and I did a 300 mile road trip a few weeks ago ... car is solid.

Yup .. daily'd my GPW S2000 for almost 4 years .

Thankfully, I barely commute if at all. I'm sure it will change once more people are vaccinated & the idea of going back into the office 1-2 times a week becomes a thing.

We'll see

 

Kicking and screaming.

 

Wait is until April to get a Toyota? Don't they just have a bazillion of them at the local dealership?

I'd just daily the S2k. Fuck it, full send.

 

Must be a Rav4 Hybrid or Prime, think those are still in short supply.

 

I want to say they ordered it with a specific color / options. Why? No idea ... lol.

S2000 has been seeing more of the short trips / errand runs, but .. anything with a highway and where I can actually get oil temps up .. yeah, S4 > *.

Speaking of which - I took the baby to C&C on Saturday and as I was leaving, there was a MK4 Supra with a fat front mount egging me on to run ... Took every ounce of self control not to lay the hammer down and play .

Damn babies & being somewhat responsible!

 

that baby saved you some embarrassment!!!!

 

nice pick up!

April? they might tell you JK on April 1st... that will be hilarious...

 

 

It's almost April.
Tell them deal is good now, you have too much time to think you'll buy something else.

 

Tyler's getting a Jeep!!!

 

Not a JK!!!!
It's a Chrysler motor for goodness sakes!

 

It would give him a whole new appreciation for how fast the S4 is.

 

oh boy would it

 

If it all works out, I'll take delivery of the A7 on 3/20.

Already purchased a plethora of detailing supplies .. may break down and buy an actual orbital buffer / some pads to give this thing a full correction.

Will update when I take delivery .. super excited. The B5 is a decent daily but god DAMN is it thirsty.

 

Come detail my Jeep once you're done. Lots of fine scratches that need to come out!

 

Words "Detail" & "Jeep" are kind of oxymoron's ... are they not?

 

:cough: Brodozer :cough:

 

Needs to look nice when flexed on a curb at the mall.

 

I understand Jeep's selling point.... but its acceleration tho...

Had a rental in Phx last year.... I LOLed at its acceleration and i told my GF how much they cost new and how high their resale values are... she was like for this POS???

and yah i cracked the front windshield within 48 hours...

 

Acceleration isn't the point lol. The point is being able to do this without really trying (and not costing $150k like a G Wagen):



The acceleration sucks balls but you've never had that much fun going 0.5mph through the woods lol.

 

I don't think that road has been paved yet, find another way.

@TylerT get one of those package deals on something like adam's random orbit polisher. The longer throw is goooodddd

 

Or it was paved and then blown up. You guys and your fast cars will get hosed in the upcoming Covid apocalypse.

How does the Adams compare to the ole PC random orbit?

 

I got the Porter Cable last summer (maybe? Maybe it was 2 years ago; I have no sense of time anymore) because I'm a poor. But it was a game changer.

 

I have the PC right now, just curious what makes the Adams (or other ones) better.
