Audi V8 Quattro

[Eye of the Tiger]

If that car proves to be reliable for 100 miles, you've made out like a frikkin' bandit!

The trip back was over 100 miles already. The only problems I had was the blower-fan stopped working, the heated seat burned my butt, and I couldn't find the controls for the power mirrors.

Average speed for that trip?

My dad was following me in his Sienna, so about 70mph.

Then you've made out already!

Best of luck to you, it really is a killer car.

Now, doesn't that Suzuki seem like a silly vehicle?

If he wants to give me the 'St33m, I'd take it.  I have a brother who needs a car in NY as we speak.

The Suzuki has always seemd like a silly vehilce.

Average MPG?

Half a mile per gallon, with that fatass on board.

Come and get it. Bring a trailer. How's $82.00?

You seemes to be so affectionate with it though...

Does it have enough torque to get him moving?

[CALL_911]

Nick, I really am jealous of your car.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Average MPG?

I have no idea, and I'd like to keep it that way.

That was rather caustic.

[the Teuton]

I should have added something about a running vehicle.

Me too.

Does it have some kind of pneumatic suspension or is it still good old strut and spring?

Struts up front, and some kinda IRS thingy with coil springs.

Most quattros of that era were McStruts with four links in the rear, all good german steel and no silly rubber bags.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I figured out low the oil was. 4-quarts. It took 4 to bring the oil level to normal. I guess that's not too bad, since it's a 10qt system.

Good.  I smell a suspension upgrade coming sometime soon then.   

[TheIntrepid]

Nick, does it not have some type of MPG meter?

[Soup DeVille]

No, and neither should it.

I dunno... it handles pretty damn nicely as-is; granted, I haven't pushed the limits at all, yet.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Nick, does it not have some type of MPG meter?

Actually, it does, but I couldn't find the button to switch from the clock to the other functions on the display, which included MPG.

[Soup DeVille]

The shocks probably need to be replaced soon, and it wouldn't hurt to get some good ones; but honestly I'd leave it alone for the most part.

I have other issues to deal with first, like CV joints, timing belts, and transmission dipsticks.
