    End of the road for the ole allroad. Off to audis4parts to be broken down...

    2 days after a motor pull and all new lines, seals, gaskets and new BW K04' CHRAs a guy pulls out to cross traffic without looking in a 50mph zone. I avoid the head on t-bone but the damage was enough to total the allroad. I bought her back and she is heading to audis4parts for a breakdown but this is the parting shot. She will be missed :(

    Sad to hear it's being parted out. I saw it when you posted to your IG.


    So what's next? Staying w/ a C5 or something newer?

    Man, it always sucks to see cars get totaled that people put a ton of effort into. Sorry about the AR.

    Sad to see it go and a real bummer that it was right after you did all that work. I saw your new ride on FB and it looks good. That will give you some time to take some deep breaths before you decide if you want to dive back into the fray of old cars (Audis) again. I hope to pop in from time to time.

    How did that get away in more-or-less one piece!? Figured the vultures would've completely scavenged it knowing what you put in it.. S4 parts hopefully paid you well for it.

    Thanks man and yea...I didn't want a Camry

    Tried for a a prestige c7 a6 for a week + with no budging from dealer. Drove the F sport and left with a smile on my face. Made an offer that would make the brand "downgrade" worth it and they took it. I miss the rings but after dropping 10k in the allroad last year and it all getting taken away in a second with zero payback for it, my bank account needed a break for a while.....but I'll be back . Only had it really for a day but I'll clean it up and take better pics soon. Can't wait to see where your ar project goes man. You are setting the bar high...very high!
