My left side hurts, and I've had a headache since it happened, but other than that I'm not bad. Both the curtain airbag and the airbag in the door deployed.

Also, if youve never looked, SAABs are as cheap if not cheaper used than Audis are!
How did this happen Kolby?? Nevermind... That sucks big time man, really. Makes me feel bad.
but the new wagon..... and it is sweet looking is new...... the vingen(sp) is "rare"


i am looking to spend between 6-10 i would say at most....... it would be nice to have a turbo whatever i buy though


amy is getting a nice little bonus or 2 over the next few months, depending on what they are and taxes and when mine finally start kicking in, here is my plan


she thinks she could have up to a 6 grand bonus, so at that point i will look for a car....... go look at it and decide if i want it......... depending on said bonus and price i will either put all bonus down then pay 400 per month to get it paid off or just pay it off........ while paying for it i hope to pay mine off and buy 6 g's worth of parts.......


reason i want a audi........ clean my garage to where i can fit 2 cars in....... back my car in, most room avaliable......... strip engine and tranny from car...... put engine on hoist next to car and strip it complete....... move engine after i have gone internal and done motor and clutch......... then back in avant and strip motor and tranny...... slide motor and tranny in both cars, get sedan running cause it will be the easiest to do........ that way i have a car to drive


then make avant a beast from hell







on a side note, saw 2 avants when i was at mcdonalds tonight getting movie
1. santorino a6 2.8
2. silver a4 2.8 - dealer tags

hopefully you guys have someone that can straighten a frame or your parents have gap


my dad did something similar(got hit on driver side) when my mom was pregnant with me... body shop tried to fix it...... there was still a gap cause they didn't straighten the frame/unibody..... should of been totaled


on a side note, i guess your dad could start looking for a nice cts

Are you talking about gap insurance?

And why would he look at a CTS? He'll probably find himself in either another E46 or an E39 5 Series.

Yes, we have gap insurance. So if it is totaled (which it likely is) we'll just start from scratch like we did with his xi.

And I'm not following on the whole oversteer / understeer thing...

Well, I know a few salesmen around here, Il tell em if they see a nice Avant, to give me a call, and Il forward it to you.

Man Kolby... Good luck with working everything out. Glad your not to banged up. At least its not like you were screwing around in a parking lot. I know a few people that screwed up their parents cars doin that. Wasnt pretty...

I'm still not seeing the point in this. I corrected it the best that I could, and there was nothing I could do - something that never happened to me with quattro, and something that has never happened to me in the xi before.
