haha you're on crack. My friend is an Audi mechanic and seeing what he has to go through on new cars....I can safely say they are total garbage. Not as bad as my M5, but those cars are junk.

C5 was one of the best looking Audi's IMO. Very timeless design. There is a guy that lives nearby and he has a lowered RS6 with spacers on the OEM 19's, thing looks sweet.

I'd vote B6 S4 FTW

Let me know when you want to get your S4 busted by a Gs300 Lol...Honestly though, Audi's are nice looking but the maintenance isn't worth it in my opinion.


Anytime your in Maryland or Washington and up for that race let me know (all in good fun of course)

H&R springs with koni yellows.

On the maintenance topic- Its all about the war, up and cool down of the oil for the turbos. I you see I have had four so far and never been stranded and had anything too serious at all go bad with any of them. Preventitive maintenance.

THE RS4 is HOTTT!!!

I came out of the S4 to get into my first Lexus. I didnt have the fun of the turbos and many mods that where for this gen S4 but that V8 held its ground and the manual trans was great. I miss all of that and I feel the same way. I just traded from one Lexus to another to get out of the other that I wasnt happy with. This one is nicer but its not what I wanted.

I was never once in the shop with my 05.5 Audi S4 other then for the free oil changes. I beat that car and it held up great. I hear all these ***** stories of German cars and I had 4 of them prior to Lexus and The BMW's I had and the one Audi I didnt have any problems? I hope to get out of this car down the road and get back into an Audi.

Haha - I have H&R sports and Konis sitting in my basement, waiting to be installed! We could have been twins.
