I bought 62 challenge cars

I really really want one of these. I am very jelly. 

Dude.   I figured something cool was coming out of your other thread about buying a car.  Didn't know it was gonna be this glorious.

Awesome.

You bastard

I will get mine eventually. A trusted advisor said to "buy something for Mama first, and make it something special, so she knows that you know that you wouldn't be where you are without her." 

Good advice!

Congrats to Mrs. AC! That's rad.

Next time your wife swings through GR have her take me for a ride.  

Way back say 15ish years ago a fella stopped and asked if he could buy me E30 M3, or trade for his RS6 Avant, neither happened, but I always wondered.

Have you had the go pedal to the wood yet?

Allegedly. Can only use WOT for a few seconds at a time. 0 to 60 in 3.3 sec, 50 to irresponsible in about 5.

These are sickenly cool. They're almost cartoonish in their proportions. In a good way. It's like a functional hot wheels car. Congrats!

Baby got back!

Its just a white station wagon......

Nothing exciting to report, just some proper floor protection. Got the optional bumper protector flap as well.

AW absolutely loves this car, and I can't find fault in that. It is a really nice car.

man, that interior looks the nuts. I'm a sucker for light brown leather with black surroundings.

Gratz, Angry! That is a beautiful wagon.

I'm a little jealous...

Today I turned a wrench on the Rowdy Audi. OK, not a wrench really, just a T20 Torx driver. Before:

and after:

Thanks to Gearheadotaku for the exploded diagram, made me less nervous about berkeleying it up.

I also asked AW what she's gonna do if the Check Engine light comes on:

Those shock towers are, to me, amazingly inboard.

gorgeous car!

This RULES. Performance wagons are awesome. Congrats on the purchase! Hope you never have to change those rotors!

Well with 21x10.5" wheels you have to move some things inward!

Are you calling me poor? Twenty-twos, baby!

Just checking in to see if AW has gotten a ticket yet.

Peak GRM. Well done.

I think I would back it in just to be able to LAUNCH out of my own driveway every morning

Oh man, congrats on the new grocery getter. That's a heck of a car! I think the white looks good

Not that I know of! 🤘🏻🤣

Rowdy hit 15k yesterday. We reset all the counters at purchase, so AW is averaging 19.1 mpg in her mixed driving that is probably pretty close to 50% city.

I hope she uses it better than the goober i got behind yesterday.

45MPH on a mile long sweeper onramp.  Then he tried to get shirty with me as i went around him on the interstate.
