i def love the Mountains I'm a snowboarder myself to bad the seasons over though if i would've jumped in on this mid season we could've probably set a audizine trip lol...

[soulvxr6]

By the way don't know if you guys like hockey but the bs just took one!!!!!

[kristokes]

Must be a long drive to go boarding from New Jersey! Any close mountains?
You have a FMIC too?? I'm in the market for one of those.

We have Mountain Creek in NJ but the Poconos and Catskill mountains are only an hour drive from me.

And FMIC is a must..

IIRC, many B6A4 owners recommend and/or opt for the Evolution Racewerks FMIC kit.. I, on the other hand, got the AWE FMIC kit for my B7A4 and I love it!

True, snowboarding season has come to an end, but riding season just began..

[TwinTipSkier]

I'd def be in for an Audizine ski trip next year!
Pulling out my mountain bike this weekend, so I guess thats my "riding", looking forward to that.

I'll have to take a look at evolution's before I update my flash this summer. I told myself I'd stop modding after my exhaust!!

[kristokes]

Tell me about it! I stopped modifying my B7A4 2 years ago and I started again this year - trying to change up a few things. Ugh, I got the "mod bug" again..

[kristokes]

Btw I road bike once in a while

[TwinTipSkier]

Just started with the moutain bike a couple years ago, nothing fancy just a K2. Used to BMX big time on my Haro X1, that was my baby.

[soulvxr6]

kristokes: i gotta def throw mine on the road its still has the very minimal ins i think i might do it on my next day off theres been a few really nice days out for a good ride..

TwinTip: hey where do you go mountain biking im pulling mine out too i got to take it to a shop for a tune up though.. i just started getting back into it last year i just got a specialized rockhopper.. but i still go after the challenging single track.. a couple of my friends and i go every thursday and sat once the grounds are dry... def fun stuff

[kristokes]

HAPPY 420 EVERYONE!

[TwinTipSkier]

Nice bike! I mainly go to a state park(Boarderland) that's right near where I live, def nothing crazy but a good time and extensive bike trails. Went to loon mtn once for a weekend last summer, def doing it again this summer a couple more times, just gotta figure out a couple weekends I can take off. Bought a disc brake conversion kit from a friend that had it lying around, a must for mountain riding. Little weekend project coming up!

Hey guys

I will be in the Boston area next weekend (April 29 - May 2nd) for business and I will have some free time. Any suggestions for things to see or places to visit? I have never been there before.

I am a nerd so I will be visiting MIT and Harvard but aside from that I don't know much about the area.

[yycools]

Quincy market and North end

[airbornerifleman]

I am visiting Boston, MA from Toronto ON. When I arrived at Boston yesterday I noticed that the car started smoking white from the tail pipe.

I had the car towed to Norwall Audi. I did some research and think it could be the head gasket which will cost me my arm and leg if I get it done by Audi.

Does anyone know of an independent shop in the Boston area (with reasonable rates) that can do the work?

I need to leave for Toronto no later than Monday afternoon.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

TIA

[groundround]

I don't know any open on the weekends

[jneutron]

Same here - I only know that some/most of the dealers are open on Sat. You may want to also post on Quattroworld New England.

[Boston_USP_327]

I have no idea what there weekend hours are, but i know they do great work and for much cheaper than Norwell. I know this b/c I use both of them, Norwell does all the work covered under warranty. Call Murphy Brothers: http://murphyvwaudi.com/default.aspx
good luck!

[kristokes]

Easter weekend - not a good weekend for your car to break down. If it's an emergency and you might as well pay an arm and a leg since it's at the dealership already. It's a lot better than being stranded. Good luck!

[grassrootz]

why not rent? someone can come in the clutch what about audi assistance cant help? last resort bus or train. gonna have to pay somewhere. rough time to break down man.

[Peteyg39]

Hi guys, im getting closer to purchasing the B8 S4 that i dream about. My finances should be totally in order for me by sept, i know thats a long way from now but that is where ive set my goal. I was wondering if anyone knew of any mod friendly dealerships in the boston area? Doesnt have to be specifically boston or even mod friendly because im willing to travel to find the right car and the right dealership. I have just heard some dealerships are more leniant with aftermarket parts than others, and mods are a MUST have for me!!! haha. Ma, Nh, Ri, Ct etc??? Westwood Audi?? Brookline Audi?

[airbornerifleman]

Thanks for the responses guys I found a guy on craigslist. Anyone know this guy?

[Zee Dgerman]

LOL... too bad boston climbed back... but yeah go habs go :-)

[RSblood]

Anna's Taqueria for lunch, theres a few in cambridge/somerville.

But yea, as yycools stated, the north end is pretty sweet. Always something to do.

[mr_coo168]

[iggy2867]

[Calbee]

wow 4 replies that were NOT helpful at all. i dont live in the area so i guess that makes it 5 for useless replies..

hope someone useful answers you haha! gl with the S

[Skidrowe]

There are regional forums on here. I would suggest you try posting there too as you might have better luck finding more people familiar with the dealerships in your area.

[Peteyg39]

ya thanks for the descent replies. The other ones arent very funny!

[scott1961]

Problem is that dealer might be mod friendly but if something happens to your car Audi of North America gets involved and they will not be. If you want to make sure to keep your warranty go with an Audi dealer who is Stasis authorized. I did not buy my car at Inskip but they are the closest Stasis dealer and had them install my supercharger. Any Stasis work they do to your car will not void your warranty and Stasis has some great mods for the new S4

[splatt]

Anna's Taqueria for lunch

Ignore this, Anna's is crap for mexican food, and it's hardly a good example of a Boston experience.

What kind of meal budget are you looking at?
