Agreed, stick around regardless what you buy. If you're willing to travel, there's a high-mile santorin 1.8T qm I found on craigslist in Buffalo NY on Sunday for $2400 obo

Well it'll deffinatley make my parents feel alot better about my car that people on the forums keep coming out of insane crashes with a few scratches. Good thing your alive and mad props on letting a sober guy drive you home, regardless of his mistake. That sucks cause I see you had modded headlights and the rs4 grille and ahh I kinda wanna cry.

Wow is the first word that comes to mind. Wow that your Alive! Wow that you're so calm! Wow that your airbags didn't deploy. Wow that you didn't drink and drive! That's the end of my rant. Good luck on finding a replacement bud.

Wow bro, sorry to hear about this. It pains me to see such a slick car beat to hell and piled with a foot of snow on the inside. But I am glad you were both able to walk away. Few accidents like that would have yielded the same results.

+1. If you still have possession of the car, definitely jump on a part out of sorts. Sell what you can to make buying the next one a little less stressful on the pocketbook No sense in letting your aftermarket parts, at the very least, go to waste in a junk yard.

It was at the tow yard when we took those pics, a couple friends and I went to gather my things out of the car but they wouldn't let me take anything that was attached. I got a box out of stereo parts and a bag of tools out of the trunk, and my book of CDs and everything from the glovebox, plus the spare tire jack and toolkit for a friend of mine whose A4 is missing its jack, and we got my subwoofer and its amp, and the Alpine head unit. Didn't bother trying for the speakers though, it was cold and windy as hell and we were under a blizzard warning!

I'm not too worried about getting parts off the car, all I really had upgraded was the headlights, side markers, and tail lights; and then tinted the windows and upgraded the stereo. Other than that, it was just a plain, stock 12v quattro 5-speed.

I think the airbags didn't deploy because it was a rollover, the initial impact on the curb wasn't enough to trigger them and since it didn't have side airbags, the rollover didn't blow any of them.

Well, I got that off eBay for about $80, which is exactly what the regular A4 one cost. They wouldn't let me take it anyway, so I'm not going to lose any sleep over it
