Post by: stan98tj on October 20, 2014, 08:04:16 PM: I used to be Jeep 24/7 until a year and a half ago when I picked up a 4cyl Ranger. Gets amazing mpg. Originally got it after we bought our house to run to Lowes and Home Depot and to the dump as well. But given the mpg, i find myself driving it a bit more. However, given the fact i ship out to sea for a living, i dont really need a daily driver.

Post by: Mozman68 on October 24, 2014, 09:57:54 PM: Well... looks like a may be bidding on a new car this week possibly if all works out.

2009 Audi S5 with 50k on the clock...... boo ya.

Then replacing the wife's 2006 Honda Odyssey with an Audi Q7.

The two oldest boys both drive Jeep Grand Cherokees.

And then there's the 1973 Triumph TR6 that is still down in VA...supposedly my next "project.". :yikes:

Post by: jwalls4x4 on October 27, 2014, 08:13:57 PM: Well, It's been forever since I've posted. :uhoh: My auto transmission went out on my Jeep about 2 or 3 months ago. :'( I bought a '96 F150 5spd/6cyl. I'm pretty happy to have one of the last inline six Fords. My mpgs aren't bad for a full size, either. However, since its my first stick it is taking a lot of getting used to having more pedals than feet. :puzzled: I still crank my Jeep every now and again. Thankfully the last tank full of gas I put in her was crapahol free. And I added some Stabil for good measure. I guess the Jeep is officially a 'toy' now.

Wow, that's pretty risky going all Audi. Are you going to get the Carmax warranty on them? I've heard it's great for off-warranty European cars.

I was reading on Jalopnik that CarMax has a really good warranty that basically makes something that could be expensive endevour something pleasant. Still not sure if I'd buy an Audi though. Owners tend to be douchbags. :wall: :lol:

I saw a RS5 and thought it looked really nice. Wish they still had the RS4 Avant.

With CarMax's warranty, you can buy an otherwise expensive out of warranty car without worry.
Title: Re: What else do you drive?
Post by: Mozman68 on November 01, 2014, 09:37:41 AM: My car before I bought the Jeep was an Audi A4...brand new...S version wasn't available yet as it was a new body style...fully loaded though with what they called the "sport" package. Basically meant it had a slightly different suspension and standard larger wheels and spot tires.

I paid more for that one (which I loved) 13 years ago than the one I paid cash for this week...and the new one only has 50k on the clock, over 130 more hp and all the bells and whistles you can get. That's the only reason I pulled the trigger 6 weeks earlier than I originally planned. The sale of the Jeep will offset a big portion of the cost so working this weekend on prepping that for sale on the more public Jeep sites here.

Post by: DanMarino on December 22, 2014, 02:23:04 PM: I'm now in a 1998 C70 as my daily driver.
It's a sweet and my first turbo.
Really nice for a 16 year old car.
I can see why people like turbos so much.
