LOL Pat!

That's a fancy looking house Brad! 2 car garage eh?

Enjoying a cup of French roast right now (not a big fan of it). Oh well, it's not too bad.

It's finally Friday! It's gonna be a busy one tho.

Enjoying a black cup of Verona right now. One of my all time favorite coffees.

Well this is more like my evening kick in the tail cup. Rwandan coffee still. Today I drove 3 hours to look at a B6 S4. 58k miles, pulls hard. I'm also going to expand my search to B5 S4's too if not to buy one then to at least use it as leverage.

It's all due to the 3.89 gearing they use. I could make a lot of things pull pretty hard with steeper gears like that.

B5 S4 > B6 S4.

I just hate the fact that there isn't any mods available for the B6 S4, unless you drop 10 grand on a supercharger.

Anyway, happy Saturday. Another cup of black Verona right now. Trying to decide if I should hop into the car, cruise to Venice Beach for HellaFlush meet.

Morning all....
Dark roast Guatamalan Atitlan, ground fairly fine by me and pushed through my aging espresso machine in a semi skimmed flat white.
A little acidic but tasty and it gets me going

Beautiful...^

And Krip, I'm starting to think the same way about the B5>B6 S4. While I would love the growl of a V8, and the body style of the B6, I love the ability of making RS4 power on a "budget."

For now, it's a cup of Dunkin' Turbo, cream and sugar, of course...

Actually I was thinking about picking up a used procharger and making it fit. That is if I get a B6 and not a B5. Too bad the lowest mileage B5 I've found so far still has like 85k miles on it.
