    Just let her drive the Jeep for a few weeks and then go back to her Audi, she'll think it's a new car.
    I didn't think her Audi was that old, it looked pretty nice last time I saw it at your house.

    Nice to see you back Justin.

He's warming up to finally refreshing the motor - thing must have 200k on it now though and still running totally strong even w/ full RS2+ turbo/intercooler job and being driven hard including a few track days...

    Re: new cars - yeah wife had a loaner A3 last few days (getting her Takata face-rippers replaced) with like 2k miles on it... its real nice.. in some ways... but somewhat personality-less... which is what we keep finding w/ new BMW's and Audis... gonna have to buy her a new car at some point tho'... I can keep driving my old rigs happily forever but she's "normal" and actually would like to have a new car once every 10yrs or so...
    Hah! My girlfriend (I’ve been married and divorced since leaving lol) wants a B5 S4 avant... we’ll see if I can find a clean one in manual when she’s ready to kiss her first/only car goodbye... a 2004 Corolla manual that she bought new at 19.

    holy crap man - you work fast! Sorry about that - hope it wasn’t too painful.

    I have had my brushes with the B5S4’s for sure. Just never ended up pulling the trigger. Got a buddy around the corner who has 2 - one for him and one for his lady. One sedan one avant. Avant- is sweet. He’s a long roof bud that’s one of things we have in common.
