    Finally got an Avant!

    Hello everyone,
    I've been a member here too long, and I just recently got an A4 after finally selling my old pride and joy:



    I live in Los Angeles, but the car I had to have was in Pennsylvania, so a road trip ensued.

    We headed East for about an hour just to see the Atlantic (forgot to take pics of the car):


    Headed toward Chicago and forgot to take pics of the car again (It was in a parking garage anyways):


    The roads through Iowa and Nebraska were sketchy as shit with summer tires:


    Engine misfired then stalled on the highway:


    I knew it was the coilpacks from reading Audizine too much, so I had the tow truck take us to a VW dealer in Lincoln, Nebraska (20 miles away) instead of an Audi dealer (~150 miles away) because I knew the B6 Passat used the same ones. Turned out to be 2 bad coilpacks, and a blown ECM fuse.


    Made it to my buddy's house in Boulder, CO, then went snowboarding the next day:

    Post-session:


    Heading toward Steamboat, CO, a deer jumped out and started running across the road. I downshifted to engine brake and started to pump the brakes but that stupid-ass hit us. The deer was fine and bolted away, but the wagen was not. Busted hood, headlights, fender:


    Clear tape patch job:


    Headed out the next day for a beautiful drive through the rest of Colorado, Utah, a corner of Arizona, Nevada, and home to California:






    And finally, at home next to the Pacific:


    The wagen will be going to the body shop soon, then I need to start saving for some mods! First off, Revo Stage 2 and an RS 4 sway bar.
