Default Does it kill anyone else when you see all the b5 part outs in the classifieds?

I have a love/hate/hate relationship with my a4, but what I still cry inside when I see yet another b5 being stripped.


Anyone else feel my pain?

I kinda see where you are coming from, but also from the standpoint of needing parts and not wanting to shell out top dollar I don't mind.

They're definitely a dying breed, but others' loss is our gain

kinda yes but no, because at that point i care more about my B5 and i just see it as a way to keep her alive although it is kinda hard to find a replacent 12v or a o1a gearbox for cheap.
