Dude, really? It's not like she's giving any to you, and it's not like you're getting any from your buddy (or are you???), so why waste your time on someone else's GF?

...and be excited about it?

^ what he said. Brad is completely right. Unless Pat is getting "some" from his friend. In which case, I'm not gonna judge at all.

Brad - I heard about that, but the body line isn't like the B5 at all. Dimensions isn't really what I'm too concerned about, it's the look - that timeless B5 look. I do want to check out the new S3 tho. It should be a pretty quick one. Are you gonna jump in on this? I'm curious to see what Audi is gonna do with their line up now the A3 is gonna be a sedan.

Anyway, I've been super busy lately. Audi is in the shop to get the dent taken out from a hit and run a whole back. It should be back home on Tuesday if everything goes smoothly.

I hope you guys had a great weekend. I'm currently enjoying a cup of hot coffee. Debating what to get for dinner. I wanna try the new McDonald's wrap. Its probably the worst thing you can put in your body but the commercial caught me.

Wow, such a busy weekend, I'm almost glad it's Monday... ok, not really. But, we remodeled our downstairs bathroom over the weekend, new paint, toilet and counter/ sink, and fixers/ switches/ lights. It came out looking pretty amazing. Plus, got dragged to a jack and jill baby shower in the middle of the project, and had a party at a good friend's house while he's home on leave from Afghanistan.

All that, plus my usual week's load of online college work that I procrastinated most of it until Sunday afternoon after the bathroom was finished...

Yep, sitting here with this nice cup of coffee not worrying about anything feels pretty good.

As for the new A3/ S3, I think they were able to blend in some of the classic lines that will make this car stand out for some time, much like the B5, while adding "modernality" to attract a wide range of customers. I am definitely looking forward to the S3, if only they would add a manual to the mix...

I hope manual transmission will be an option but looking at it, it is unlikely.

Did you ever finish your man cave? You never posted pictures.

Anyway, happy weekend. I woke up early for a show today so I has a double tall latte. Now I'm enjoying a cup of hot coffee. I'm thinking of taking the Audi for a cruise around town right about now.

Waking up early today. chugging my coffee on the way to the shop. Little cream, no sugar. Fabricating a 2.5" down pipe to fit my new turbo build today. Hope things go smoothly.

Oh look, it's Monday again. No, the Man Cave isn't finished yet. It's pretty low on the list of priorities when it come to expendable cash, but I've been promised it's next on the list, so hopefully soon

I'm looking forward to seeing the finished result. Audi GTG at Brad's place!

Yes, unfortunately it's Monday again. Getting ready and having a cup of hot coffee right now.

Well, I have a slight dilemma... There is a 2006 S4 25th quattro anniversary edition up in Dallas listed for $9,995. The only problem? It has 164K miles on it. The pictures look immaculate though! I mean, I can't even find rock chips on the front bumper. Carfax shows that both PO's had maintenance serviced at the dealer.

The 4.2 liter is a pretty bullet proof engine from what I understand...

the wife wants nothing to do with it, something about the high mileage and having another commitment/ car payment... but dammit, I get promoted in 3 months, and it's a pretty big chunk of change, and this car will not last through the weekend I suspect...

If there was 30K less miles on it, for this price, I wouldn't have even talked to the wife, it would already be in the driveway...

decisions, decisions...

Thursday, my one day to sleep past 8am, coffees cold by the time I wake up. Throw it in the mircowave for a minute, jump on audi forum and nefmoto, and break out "Advanced Tuning & Engine Management" for a while before I go to the shop to get dirty and bust some knuckles.

Damn buddy, no turbos to go wrong, no worry of engine sludge, depending on the condition of the small costly stuff (tires, brakes, interior, fan belt and pulleys, ect) that sounds like it would be a killer deal. But on the other hand, I've been fooled in the past. The deal breaker would be if its got the stupid tiptronic, no go for sure, that things about to break. Good luck whatever you choose we hope to see some picture of it in the near future!
