I built one three years ago for my Explorer, now with the recent advances I'm thinking of doing the same with my Buick Regal.

Yes ive heard of those, but i recall only being able to put em on models that are later than 1996? Not sure, but correct me if im wrong. Anyways im not sure if i have enough room

, For now tho anyways cars in the garage till spring, then i continue with upgrades, so we'll see, but thanks for the idea Chairboy.

OhOh, funked.

funked... I have turned over a new leaf.. Gone is the flat, porous primer.... the new Healey colors are... black over red. My new favorite paint is semi flat black. as for the vents... believe it or not... they are australian exact replicas of Healey works vents of the sixties (chek out some pics of old rally cars) and cost way too much.

I have painted the car at least three times in 30 years but I like it in flat paint the best. My Harleys were allways krylon black... easy care.

If the car or bike is neat enough you don't need a lot of chrome or paint.. On your car.... one of those color shifting $10,000 paint jobs might be a good investment tho. Maybe some neon strips and those backward spinning wheel thingies. That would be better than your current practice of cornering poor people trying to ignore you at the gas station and forcing them to read articles about the superiority of subaru in road and track and such from the library you keep in the trunk..

Oh... I am sorry about the rainbow bumper sticker I put on your car when you were here... I couldnt resist.

Audi's are great cars, as long as you invest in an extended warranty.

Completely agree!

I drive a 2002 Audi TT 225 Quattro Coupe
Wife drives a 2001 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro Sport

I'm looking at the new S4, an M3, and possibly a WRX (with cash for mods) or a STi.

Of course there's always the Vette, I've always loved them but never owned one.

The new S4's are pretty nice to look at, but I havnt driven one yet. Althuogh considerable slower than the E46 M3's, Audi makes fantastic interiors (remember the Nagaro Blue two tone interiors on the B5 S4s? Drooolllll.....).

Have you driven an E46 M3 yet? Six speed or SMG?

Awesome bike Nacho. I'd have one of those, but I'm pretty sure I'd be dead within weeks, if not days.

I'll post pics of my vessels later.

Looks like a Cali front plate on the mulletmobile.
And I am going to need to see your logbook before I believe a 30 mpg 330i.

Wanker · « **Reply #131 on:** January 09, 2004, 11:38:26 AM »

You know, that's interesting that your BMW gets 30 mpg, because my A4 gets the same, too, even with the 2.8L V6.

In fact, my Audi gets better mileage than my old 1996 Saturn SL2 1.9L!

Whats funny is...the 325i gets worse gas milege than the 330, 180 hp vs 225 hp.

330Ci = Manual: 21 mpg city/ 30 mpg hwy.
325Ci = Manual: 20 mpg / 29 mpg
