I remember this thread when i first started on audizine and didnt have a b5 until march 2006. I remember laughing but nor getting all of the punch lines..... Now for sure i do, haha and theyr even more funny/sad/true

I have a few as well.

you know your an Audi/1.8t owner when you:

-Get offended if anyone says audis are cheaper than MB or BMW

-you are out in your driveway under your car at 10 oclock at night tryin to put in your k04 so you can make it to the edgewater meet, but when you pop your hood to show your upgraded turbo, thers no visual difference from the stock one

-you bend your valves from messing up a TB job and want to cry every time you see her in your driveway ......doh!

-Have the 1.8t Engine diagram as your desktop background

-Sit in your incapacitated Audi and pretend to drive

-Think everyone is looking at your car

-Convince 2 of your friends to buy Audis ;) (i had to settle for getting them into a TT and B6 S4)

-Pretend you are scratching your chin with your key so you can get your keyless entry to work

-Are constantly checking your engine bay for future occurences (which isnt a bad thing)

-Pushing to see how many miles per tank you can get just to show off and then say i have AWD on top of that!

-Have to short shift while racing to catch boost, haha

-Go on youtube, hoping to find an A4 winning a race

-Get a BOV to impress your friends (not me)

mentioned before but...... look back and grin everytime you walk away from her

Despite all these problems , we still love our cars and you know what , thats rare.

You will never find another car owner listing all the issues and still showing so much love for the car

When you feel it's normal to have an ongoing disco party on your gauge cluster...

These are the best ones tho...

Turning around and looking after parking - GUILTY
Staring at windows/mirrors while driving by - GUILTY
Turning radio down to hear the spool - OH SO GUILTY..

I LOVE MY AUDI!!!!!!!!!

[pipe7284]

when you drive another car and cant wait to get in yours again.

[audisnapr]

...when, your wife/girlfriend can spot the difference between a 1.8 and a 2.8 or the difference between the 96-99 and 99.5-01.5 cause that's all you ever talk about.

...when you see a badass, hooked-up B6 or B7 and still think you are better than they are cause you've endured more than they have and you have Audi's all-time most successful 1.8

[burner799]

when you hit the brakes and all your turn signals come on.
rofl!!

[Audiman78]

When you have the fastest car in school and everyone after school says "SPOOL IT UP." Ahh never get sick of that. Its amazing what hard work and time can do!

[burner799]

^^you must have some not so fast cars at school then. Theres prolly girls from my high school who have cars that can take a4's haha.

[yusoslo]

when coming over from the honda scence (custom turbo) none the less and have to learn what the word "prevenative maintenance" means.

I have never done so much routine maintenance on a car but still love it to death and look forward to getting another Audi.
After fixing my bent Rs4's, tie rods, ABS, and sunroof its like a whole new car and I love driving it and love telling people it's a 98 and they are like "ohhh I thought it was a brand new model".

I guess a mint paint job and a rs4 kit will do that though

[AudiSport12]

when your walking towards your car about to get in pressing the "lock" button when its already locked to make the lights blink so people can see its your car.

bitch parking your car in the very back of the parking lot so no one can come near... then in the end some jerk parks beside you anyways.

as mentioned before: you look back at your car 4 times when your walking away

when you give rides people always ask "whats that thing in your air vent?

when people ask how much it costs to fill your car up with gas and you tell them its the same as much to fill up as their F-150 because of damned premium.

when people stop and walk around your car in admiration for 5 minutes (happened at Clemson this weekend)

when you masturbate to your car instead of your girlfriend (just kidding)

audisport12. how much did you pay to have your s4 bumper painted?

[AudiSport12]

a mechanic/buddy at Audi gave it to me off a totalled S4 already painted brilliant black.

[fred2ka4]

You know your an Audi owner when:

- You look forward to driving in the rain. [:D]

- Your modded 1.8T spends as much time in the shop as it does in the garage. [:(]

- When your wife or girlfriend who doesn't care about cars knows Audi's.[:D]

- When your the only one who knows what Vag-com means. [:D]

[Rosati]

^^yeah fred!

even if the girls arent listening or care i still try to teach em hhahaha

[belinko]

When every one is trying to tell you to paint your lowers!

[4ringAR]

....when you are at a VW/Audi meet and exclaim to everyone around you, "Thats the farthest away I've ever unlocked/locked my car from!!!"

....when you see an a4 go by and start talking about what year and engine it has just by looking at it. the people you are with look at you strange, or say, "oh thats nice" and you then respond, "oh sorry" and stop talking.

....when you are riding in someone elses(not enthusiast) a4 and start checking it out, saying, "oh yea, youve got a 1999.5, because of the 1 piece headlights, cream interior--OH, and your cup holders[next to park brake] still work! WOW!"

{my car doesn't have the flip up cup holders. i suppose they were taken out by the previous owner because they didnt work. but i have seen/heard that they dont work too well.
i just have a slot where i can put my mp3 player}

....when you look back at your car as you are walking away. (yes it has been said 1001 times, but it is so true.)

....when you get mad at people because they have their feet on the seat.

....when you go and sit in it at night with the interior lights on, just to look at the red glow.

[sean1.8t]

when people ask you how you're able to afford a $30,000+ car. and you explain to them that its 5 years old with 70k on it. and they are shocked because they thought that it was a brand new model

[bOOOOstedAudi]

you know your a 1.8t owner when you have the only engine in the world to get 40-50 hp for 400 bucks

[Quattrocket]

you know you're a B5 owner when you drive around and see a beautiful sideroad with the trees changing colour and instead of thinking how beautiful it is, you think, "that would be an awesome spot to take a picture of my car at."

[nizmosx]

when you spend all your time figuring out how your going to eat until the next paycheck because you spent all your money in the classifieds again.

[Euro Avant]

when u get back your car from fixing something, u want to cry

[ICEBIRGSLIM]

When you lose a race to a modded wrx and you buy a bigger turbo the very next day! speeding up your mod plans!

When older people with the same 1.8t look at yours with admiration like "wow his looks way better then mines"

When a middle aged guy with an effeminate looking jetta with audi rims on it pulls up with his girlfriend in the car wanting to race and you just laugh at him like you wish you had my car B!tch..... hahaha

[ICEBIRGSLIM]

When VW drivers brag on how fast their cars are, but then still end up getting an audi in the long run...

[TQMB5]

when you sitt down and spend 45mins reading this whole thread begining to end, and being guilty of every one.

when you dont want to ever drive your friends b/c they dont have car "respect your your interior, and your sick of cleaning off there shoe scuff marks

[quattro_maniac]

or

when people constantly ask you if you know that your CEL is on

[ceas]

when you back your car in.. just to see it from a different angle when you come back for her. and so that people will notice the rs4 grill, new bumper, and ecodes.

when you look at the rear of your car (debadged, nice paint, painted valance) and say.. "wow! i'd hit that from the back "

when you've rigged up a intake, but took it off when you realized not much beats the stock air box.

when first looking at your car you notice all the things that bother you first.. and no one else can notice. then 2 minutes later you appreciate the car.

[quattroanillos5]

when you bring your car back to the shop everyday for three weeks with CEL... running lean, misfires across every cylinder and boost leaks... then everything gets fixed and an hour after i pick up the car the CEL goes on again.... and I bring the car back to shop again...

but every time i leave it at the the shop and walk to my office I still have to turn around and look at her while I'm walking away

[Nihilation]

1. When you wonder when these problems you read in this thread are going to effect you.

2. How much longer that front control arm with the slit ball joint boot is going to hold out.

3. When you wonder how much Porsche Boxster pads with pad wear sensor are going to cost.

4. When you wonder how much money painting the lower trim on the bumpers and skirts would have actually cost Audi to include.

5. What the hell difference do E-Codes make over the one piece 99.5+ headlights.

6. How much longer is this K03 going to last? Just so I can go BT and have drivability gremlins...

7. If this is the car that I'm actually going to keep for longer than a year...

8. Why can't anybody other than Reiger and Kersher come out with a good looking body kit without ripping off Audi's RS4 design.

you tell your girlfriend you will hang out with her after you finish working on your car.....and she getts all pissed off because she KNOWS you will never finish :-)

you drive around at night with JUST your fog lights on....because you can

when something breaks on your car the first thing you do is go on audizine and find a way to fix it yourself.....even though its covered for free with warranty....

you wave/honk at EVERY audi that looks modded at all

every time you see an audi you say to yourself in your head "1.8t...quattro....brilliant black.....1999.5......sport package"

you laugh at ricers when you see them...and think to yourself "wow, i would be so embarrased to drive that car"

you swear you will never drive anything but audi for the rest of your life

your car NEVER without a problem that needs fixing

you need new tires cuz ur tires are down to the cords...and your dad says "why dont you put on ur stock wheels? they have new tires?" and you just say but dad!........and you dont have a good reason for why u dont want to....

when people recognize you by ur car before your face

when people say "what kind of car do you drive?" and you say while fliking your switchblade key out "an AUDI!"

when you put your keys on your desk, you put the key fob (audi face up) so if someone looks they MIGHT see that you drive an audi

you HAVE to park next to another audi if you see one in a parking lot






il think of more soon.. lol


oh and the guy that mentioned sex in the car.....

forgetting that a stock B5 awd 1.8t only puts 110 hp to the ground.

if you don't eat in your car - because your afraid

leaving the car in 1st or 2nd in the parking lot so people notice your exhaust and car.

getting a FMIC just to show it off - by cutting the bumper grille

working on the car becomes your form of escape - instead of driving it

when it burns a hole in your wallet some time or another

you hate b6, b7 and think b5 is the greatest a4 ever made.

wish you could stop with the mods....................

[Euro-Tuner]

when you do your own turbo, clutch, and exhaust at the same time perfectly, then you get frustated b/c you can't get the clip to the FPR back in

when you cant get a consitant run at the track

when you cant seem to get anyone to understand why you spend so much money on such a small part

when you get an old timer telling you, his '71 chevelle cost less than 2 of your favorite mods

when you get paid to do this when your boss isnt around

[haroulli]

when you have to get a loan to get it fixed
when your car is so sensitive to change the rear end shimmys cuz of a bent rim at 80mph
when you have to wear white gloves when driving cuz the interior peels!

Funny story... so my friend and his girl are in the car trying this and he had it set so when the door opens the light turns on in the car... well theyre gettin into it and he didnt realize the car locked so all of the sudden the great interior alarm comes on... hes like FUCK! so he grabs the key and unlock... ALL the lights come on (and theyre naked on a sidestreet).... then he hits lock again forgetting that if you dont open the door and they start again and he remembered the sensor goes back on so hes like O SHIT DONT MOVE... but then the sensor goes on again so he says fuck this and opens the door that time... then all the lights stay on... so then he finally gives up and goes home...

I told him the next day that you can change the way the lighting is so that doesnt happen lol
