I fold....

[Sleeeper X]

Alright, so I'm driving home the other day...... and I'm with a friend in the car just talking about how much I love this car..... and WHAM the fucking pickup truck in front of me drops something outa his bed DESTROYING my oil pan. By the time I pulled over, the engine seized, and apparently when the insurence got the car inspected they found a lovely hole in my block aswell... So now my car has.... a dented FMIC, AC condenser, Radiator, Cracked front bumper and a blown motor..... I quit, I'm outa the game.

Merry Christmas....

sucks big time man! rs4 motor swap time...

[Matt@JHM]

Oh damn, sorry man... it's unfortunate how much can change in a matter of seconds.

[Jung]

ohhhhh shit man.. dont give up! it's not your fault bro. insurance covering it?

[Dimcorner]

I think that would have wrecked just about any car.

[Sleeeper X]

I think that would have wrecked just about any car.

nah, insurance is covering it.... due to my super low mileage... but it just seems stupid to spend that money with the way our economy is going.

[espo4442]

That sucks man don't give up. Are they going to cover it

[CONTROL ONE]

That sucks man don't give up. Are they going to cover it

They have to but the shitty part is they will probably rule this an at fault accident unless the owner of that truck a) stopped and b) was charged by police for unsafe load.

Best of luck, man.

[Sleeeper X]

Insurance will cover it, and they already cut me a nice check. However, I don't think its a smart to spend every penny that I just received when the economy isn't going to get better for another 2-3 years.

[TRANS4M]

On the bright side,

You're ok. Someone above said that life changes in a matter of seconds. That's the truth. Parts can be repaired/replaced, but lives can't.

Build the motor. The economy will be awesome come mid January.

Of 2009? LOL. In terms of what? What the White House has to say about it?

I'll take that bet regardless. $100.

[haus4]

Holy sh*t. That sucks. I dont know WTF is going on these days with people being ignorant and having us pay for it. Im glad the insurance is covering it.

Anyway - I know you want to sit down and think what is the best option right now. I fully agree since you have a nice check right now. But to put it out there, if you want to in the spring, I have a good engine with 94777 miles on it that im not going to use. Unless some freak accident happens to my next car. Its an option and you can PM about it later.

Im sorry for your loss.

I think he was implying that the motor would be built by then.

I say take the check and run .. thats what I would do and I would go back befor I spent all this money on a GT setup aswell .. its really not worth it

[AudiSportB5S4]

sucks man, best of luck in the future.

[ToMMyRsK04]

Mid January of 2010 .. maybe

[Sleeeper X]

Mid January of 2010 .. maybe

I agree on that one!

That's the attitude that is going to keep the economy down for 2-3 years. You need to spend that money to stimulate the economy. And there is no better way to do that than own an Audi.

[chris.mcneal]

WHATTT??? What fell out of the bed of his truck?? Was the car totaled?

Bailout article link I'm sure most of you have seen.

spend the cash,help the economy.

FAIL.

Know your economy. Our economy is based on consumption, YES. That is where we are wrong! America does not make shit! You buy a German car, watch your Japanese TV, get gas from the Saudis...what the fuck does America produce? SHIT!

Did the last stimulus package work? No. Did the 700B bailout work? No, businesses are still failing. Do you really expect GM/Ford/Chrysler to get out of the hole? Theyve been going to shit for the past 30 years! The dollar is going to shit.

Youtube: Peter Schiff. He predicted this shit 2 years ago. He won bets on it too, lol. Ron Paul predicted this 25 years ago, in 1983. The economy is a science not to be FUCKED with.

Lets not turn this into an economic thread we have enough of those :)

</truth> or as some tell me </pessimism>

Edit: Ok, America does produce some good drugs and healthcare. Thats not enough to save our economy though.

[RogueStatus]

how much does insurance want to buy the car back? ill buy it from insurance if its cheap money

but sorry to hear about the car!

[badbiturbo]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMM man thats sucks man i rode in ur car at Jacksons meet and man ur car was SICK!!!!!!! I cant believe this, i really wanted to see it at 100% too, but i feel u about the economy and everything. Sucks to loose another good s4. What direction u plan on going in now?

[GURUMAN]

Ask rods and pistons for christmas

And act surprised when you're oppening the box...

[NYCVR6]

Hole in the block? Sounds like a bad tune, not a seized motor. Just kidding Greg! haha Keep at it bro, imagine me starting a motor i just put rods in and had the heads rebuilt, and a new gt kit on.. Just to have a valve jam open and ruin everything i did.

nah dude, i'll say this about the tune. Its fucking AMAZING. Later in the week when i get my car back from the adjuster i'll take some nice beauty pics of my mostly missing oil pan.

[Sleeeper X]

Oh damn, sorry man... it's unfortunate how much can change in a matter of seconds.

Ya know... I've been thinking about that statement all day, and its so true. If that thing had bounced up or something and the windshield, my passenger and I could have been killed. Luckily that's not the case. As for the car I think I'm going to find another 2.7 motor with low mileage or mileage close to my own and throw it in.... but finding a 2.7 motor with under 50K is going to be a fun witch hunt.

[Dr.Duct]
