Everyone knows, spam and coffee don't mix!

Got my usual pre-PT cup going on... Still don't have a working B5 though...

That's why you should grab yourself a working B6 S4.

Are you trying live your Audi life vicariously through me?

I've been nonchalantly perusing autotrader and the likes... They're still a tad more than I would like to spend right now. I've heard that the '04 model years had some engine issues as well. More research needed. Also been looking at B5 S4s, but it's hard to find one in good condition close to me, and the thought of a 10-12 year old bi-turbo engine frightens me, to be honest. But, the potential for so much more power than the B6 entices me.

So, I'll just sit here and sip my coffee, and contemplate my next step, which is probably just fix the one I got and keep wishing for something else.

I hear you. That's why I actually ended up going with a truck... I was contemplating my next step then my brain exploded.

Nope. Pat is just a retard. That's why we went with the truck and is now regretting his choice.

B6 S4 is such a pain to work on. Most 4.2 have the same issues of carbon build up, even on the RS4. They'll need cleaning once in a while and it requires a lot of work. Plus when something breaks, it's not easy to work on this car as there's so little space to work with.

Anyway, happy hump day. I'm having a cup of iced one with milk and toffee nut.
