while I'm here in south Fla, I noticed many cars without them have much more tar flanking the sides. yesterday I saw them painted a light body color, weird looking

Not even big ass mud flaps can really do much against mud season in Vermont:
I was picking and brushing pebbles off my windowsill hahaha
There are sooooooooooo many benefits to living on a dirt road........ and then there is this.
My wife and I are planning on settling in VT in about 1 year. Almost all of the houses we like, and can afford, are on dirt roads. I'm not afraid of a dirty car, but may need to consider a nice 4-banger, stick, 4x4 Tacoma for the muddiest of mud season days.
Several friends have Tacomas, one is from the Seattle area with 210k and no rust.. still running. I've thought about getting one myself.
A truck with ground clearance would make it a cakewalk. It's just tough with a low car and dodging ruts to avoid casing. The only other thing you need is a nice mudroom to keep it out of your house! The odd thing is that dirt roads are excellent for 10 months out of the year and much better than pavement in winter except for the dust. The other two months and the occasional monsoon... well....

We spend as much time as possible in VT, just outside of Plymouth Union. We are both from what used to be a rural area and are looking forward to getting back to that, so a truck will be useful for many things other than the keeping the Avant slightly less dirty. X2 on the mudroom, we have a pseudo-mudroom here in VA, helps keep the rest of the house a bit cleaner especially with bikes, our very active dog, etc..
First stop is two semesters(for my wife) @ UNE in Portland, ME. I'm hoping to have the time for a trip over to Burlington for Avantoberfest this year so I can meet some of the folks from this board.
I defiantly miss my B5, but the B6 is more refined and a better road trip car(1000 road trip every three weeks+ 50 mile commute)
Some JHM goodies are in the books for late this summer, hopefully FI!
BTW still kicking myself over your old avant:(
Pick from few weeks back near Ellensburg
found some nice molded flaps at napaonline.com they are 20.00. they look almost identical to the b5 ones listed above. you could trim them with with a dremel cut off tool very easily. after install they look great, just did the front so far and used the torex screws that were holding the wheel well liner in.. works perfect.
this is for a 2002 a6 3.0 avant, forgot to mention...
I was searching the Web for Splash Guards / Mud Flaps for my A6 Avant and found your forum discussion. Could you tell me where I can buy the Mud Flaps you have on your white S4 Avant? They really look good and I think they'd be a perfect for what I need. Thanks.

Mini Mudflaps. Ready for any rain or snow here in SoCal.

Carbon Fiber Stuff. Vinyl Stuff. Podi License Plate Bracket. AWE Quad Black Diamond Tip Exhaust. 19" VMR V713 Gunmetal. Drop in K&N Air Filter. B5 Spring Perch Plate on Audi Sport Suspension.
I installed Rally Armor mud flaps to help protect the car from the crushed stone that they spread on the highways here when it snows. Easy install after making a cardboard template; didn't even have to remove the back tires. These'll come off again in the spring when the summer tires go on.
