Hey guys, How have you been?

Have to say I miss being on here as a part of my daily grind, but priorities change as well as situations

As most of you know I could not continue w/ the car thing due to my job , But it gets worse.


The car is done.


I was T Boned today while making a left turn and hit. Both windows crumbled but I do not believe it was hard enough to hit the frame. The point of impact was dead on between the driver and rear passenger door, so damage is the width of that area.

To add insult to injury, I was accused for the accident b/c i "didnt use my blinker" and she thought I "was stopped" Idiot , if she just waited for me to turn instead of trying to accelerate around me, Id still have my girl.

But, its time to move on to bigger and better things. I am very proud of the car I built and put 10 pounds of blood sweat and tears into (not to mention a scar i have on my hand from removing the exhaust manifold)

She is still in great shape thruout minus the damage, But I just cant justify spending the money to fix her when I can put it towards my next car. Im just upset i that i only tracked her once and hardly ever raced, But it was still one hell of a fun car and still classy and unique. It still runs like a new car and every single seal and bolt has been replaced on that engine, so it hurts to have to move on after that fact.

However, I have my eyes set on an 05 Bmw 530i Sport, White and factory hydraulic lowered suspension. After having an E36 it just changed my whole mind about the car.

After I land this , I think ill come back to Audi w/ a B5 S4 if the funds allow it (depending on which is cheaper, an FD Rx7 or Stg2/3 S4) Again , those are plans and something ive been looking forward to for a few months now and will probably take some time.


This really wont change anything, Ill still come on here as Ive formed some real solid relationships and great times thru here and not necessarily saying it will end, but Deep down i wish i could have done more to the car to represent our community to the fullest and really give us a solid name, even though i did impress most w/ the car.


I honestly do not know what to do...... I do not know the insurance verdict yet, also, I may be liable because in new jersey, the cop said no one is 100% at fault...... hm.........

With that being said, The first thing that came to my mind was to try to sell the car as a whole, and maybe one of you wrenchers can demod the car and sell of the parts individually if they like, I have absolutely NO time to start demodding the car , But we will see how everyone reacts to the for sale ad of a crashed BT A4......

Also, I never installed the 3071R so its still got the hard hitting 28RS w/ everything listed in my sig plus 2 sets of rims and maybe 1.5 sets of tires plus alcantara door cards and a rockford fosgate system and amp

(RS4 celeb rims and S4 rims, One curbed)

Im just hoping i can find someone willing to buy the car as a whole and demod it themselves so i can avoid doing so, even if i lose some money.....

So, i guess a for sale thread will be on its way soon......

I just want to say hi to Jim and thank him for all the advice , and if I said anything jim, that wasnt on par, My deepest apologies go to you, I have nothing but the utmost respect for you.

and a Big WATS UP to all my boys, you know who you are!

[pipe7284]

sorry to hear that bro.

[20vpower]

damn sorry to hear about everything. hopefully everything will turn out good in the end. oh and hopefully you will be back in the b5 family soon. shit i remember back when you were k04 but times are a changin and stuff just doesnt last forever

[salz2135]

rosati, sorry to read about the loss, bud.

good luck with the new whip. it looks MEAN.

[gotaudi]

That really sucks, I really do hope you come around here often... I always looked at you as the type that would help out anyone. for however long I have been here I have respected you on how you treat others on this forum. we need more guys like you to stick around. I hope you do find you way back to the community in the near future with a stage2+/3 S4.. until then best of luck to you..

[njm23]

Sorry to hear about that, good luck with getting the new car. That thigns is nice! Also, PM me about your car, may be interested in taken it off your hands possibly if it comes down to you selling it as a whole like that.

[Don Supreme]

Sucks dude, I hope insurance pays out. Did you have full coverage?

[AudiA4_20T]

rob you better still come to edgewater

[UN-PIMP-Z-A4]

Damn Rob! Sorry to hear that. You can speak with the officer that took the report and add an addendum to explain your side if you feel it was inaccurattely portrayed.
Sorry for your loss.
You can look at it this way its one money pit you dont have to worry about.
If you part out let me know i might want that turbo...

[dingguhlbary]

oh man, at least you are ok man. that's the best part. now let's just hope the accidnet report swings in your favor. good luck man, thanks for all your help so far with all my noob questions haha

[MattzWarsteiner]

Lucky you didn't get hurt & sorry about the crash.

If you have comp and collision, you are covered no matter who's at fault.
Re: Her insurance company . .. even if they are promising a payout,say nothing and sign nothing, right.

[GramCracker]

Rob. Don't be like me, get the right car the first time! I can't wait to see your 530 and my S4 next to each other. I'll give you a ride in my stage 2+, you won't need to think about getting an RX-7 over the S. Its sad to see the first AZ car that I ever saw, be totaled. I know you wont agree, but I really liked the way it looked.

Any-who, give me a call some time, we gotta chill.

[SFexBOY]

=(

I just want to say hi to Jim and thank him for all the advice , and if I said anything jim, that wasnt on par, My deepest apologies go to you, I have nothing but the utmost respect for you.

Like asking if I was worried that my little boys might grow up to be gay? That is still the funniest thing I've ever been asked. They do their funny little kid things and that pops into my head and causes fits of laughter. I've got no way to tell them what's so funny. And I'm still not worried. They're already know how to work the women. Mad skills yo.


I can't believe your luck lately. Did you go to Mardi Gras and spit on an old lady who then put a hex on you? Seems like you would have much better karma. I believe that this signals the last of the bad juju and it will be clear skies, smooth roads, and leggy women from here on out. As always, I'm around if you need anything.

[TighTT]

and leggy women from here on out.

LOL....luckily thats never been a problem for Rob.



When are you comin to EdgeH20 playa???

[AudiRacerS4]

rob you better still come to edgewater

x2 sorry to hear about the car rob

[A4Rob]

Whoa! Glad to hear your ok! Cars can be replaced!

[Poopie]

NNOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

That sucks man. Pick up a cheap a4 and swap everything in and sell it. Its much easier then parting it out from the get go. Its such a hassle

[sean1.8t]

damn, i finally see a new thread from you and was all excited to hear about some progress with your car. very sorry to hear Rob. you worked on that car with all your might, but it just doesn't look like it was in the cards for you. at least at this time. this is truely unfortunate. but im sure it'll all work out for you. you've never had a tough time getting cars.

good luck

[onemoremile]

That car was pretty much evil so it's demise might be a bad thing. The head alone was enough to set it on fire and push it into the river.

[Eurotuned_A4]

sorry to hear, but glad you are ok. If i had the cash id take the 3071r off your hands, but still trying to sell my s4. good luck with your next ride.

[Militant-Grunt]

Damn man, sorry to hear that, B5's are being taken down left and right =/.

[Rosati]

Hey guys, Thanks for all the kind words, I really appreciate it.

Now I really know what its like to "feel hurt" FOR a car and join the club of victims :/

I actually feel bad for this car because it had so much potential. My satisfaction from hard work came out after I got the engine running and when I was beating Evos n srt4's , after that I forgot about it But I just limped her home from the lot today, holding the doors closed w/ an Ikea Strap...... So pitiful.


No, I do not have full coverage on dealer's insurance, it would cost around 15k/year

[Rosati]

Thank you sir you are not mistaken.

Thanks man, Sure , Hit me up on AIM at Rosatomafia20 and ill pm you as well, Im not looking for a huge profit, just something a little more than parting out

Great to hear from ya :P , Cough Cough! its ok though!

Even if you didnt have kids, I think i would have asked anyway because at that point I was just curious because it was actual conversation between my friends!, but great to hear , I told you before they were gonna be pimps , I can just tell == take it from me.

Hm. Well yes, Id like to think of this as a turning point but wish it could have went differently

Btw Jim, I took your advice -- Im now at a full service firm that gets some amazing IPO's AND Insurance! Best of both worlds, so thank you!

LOL....luckily thats never been a problem for Rob.



When are you comin to EdgeH20 playa???

Sup adam, long time no see

Actually, Im picking up either a IS300 or A6 or TL on wednesday to sell , so ill swing by and say hi on thursday

NNOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

That sucks man. Pick up a cheap a4 and swap everything in and sell it. Its much easier then parting it out from the get go. Its such a hassle

Idk yet poop , I might just put away a fund for an FD, which is my real dream car

damn, i finally see a new thread from you and was all excited to hear about some progress with your car. very sorry to hear Rob. you worked on that car with all your might, but it just doesn't look like it was in the cards for you. at least at this time. this is truely unfortunate. but im sure it'll all work out for you. you've never had a tough time getting cars.

good luck

I know Sean, Believe me I am disappointed and I aimed to make a new one at the end of summer when I got the LM reps and a fresh paintjob along w/ some dyno #'s........

That was the plan.

Oh well man, Shit. Im sure you guys will more than make up for me!

Thanks again


just a note, I am really trying to sell the car, Not part it out.

If you want to keep it, It needs nothing but the damage be fixed.

If you dont, you can sell a shitload of other parts and make $$

[BONFIRE074]

pm sent

[Militant-Grunt]

Do you have pictures of the damage?

[Rosati]

Do you guys reaaaly want to see it?

Its pretty depressing to put it up

[onemoremile]

Btw Jim, I took your advice -- Im now at a full service firm that gets some amazing IPO's AND Insurance! Best of both worlds, so thank you!

Congratulations! Hard work and dedication pay off once again!

[lotusgardener]

Yes pics please. Good to hear you're ok atleast

[MattzWarsteiner]

Then I hope that Miss Impatient Pants will be found to be negligent and her good hands people will compensate you.

[Rosati]

Then I hope that Miss Impatient Pants will be found to be negligent and her good hands people will compensate you.

You were right man, She was given a ticket and I won the verdict, Unfortunately, they didnt give me **** for the car, just enough to fix her

Very disappointed, But hey thats life.

I have to say Im in between the new A5 and the 530 right now

I will post pics of the damage since I said i would before and never got around to it (because I had a buyer lined up and it fell through b/c of his bad investment choice!! :P )

Im sure we all can agree that the new A4 is another pitiful attempt to recreate our B5 success, so I can only see myself in a B5 S4 or A5!

Miss you guys! Also, Every other car feels so slow, even though I am whipping this around until i sell it! 220hp never felt so bad compared to the audi!


So whats new????? Any new crazy products/records over the summer?


BTW, that new classy setup is not to user friendly IMO, I accidentally clicked 15 day listing period by accident, so what happens after the 15 days? it gets deleted and i have to make a new one?

(Link in Sig to the car)

[317ssayzarc]

I still hate my car, and my dad bought a B6 USP like I contacted you about

[TQMB5]

how do you not like the new b8 a4?

[Rosati]

you like it? Its audi's way of rolling w/ the trend (led's and stolen A5 taillights) placed onto the B7 body

Sorry jake, I havent been to the auction in a long while, But i will have some space freeing up when I get established at work and can stroll in at 10 like the rest of the office

USP's are beautiful

[317ssayzarc]

Rob Rob Rob, no way was I implying that you made it tougher for me... I actually ended up convincing him to buy one out on the West Coast so shops out there could do the work... It all worked out great! Just figured I'd update ya and fill you in... I may need a B5 S4 soon though for a trip car, so let me know when you get used to those bankers hours haha... And yes USP's are gorgeous imho

[94jedi]

Holy crap Rob!!! Sucks about your car but that 5 series is soooo nice... are you picking that up at an auction?

[Rosati]

Yes Sir, Pat ;)

Auction all the way, Cash is king!

Thanks.....
