Wagon Stoke

[Ted Striker]

I have Cobb access port tuner. Pretty nifty unit, can download and flash any tune I want to the ECU in five minutes. Also monitors up to six additional engine parameters of your choice in real time, does data logging, code reading and reset, tons of stuff.

Don't know if it's the Cobb, but yeah, same deal. Last time I rode in it he had a very flat, torque-y tune that never kicks you in the pants, but just pulls. Maybe not as shit-eating-grin inducing, but very useful in traffic.

No useless sloped rear window.

My first car was a 69 Type III

Manual trans, and the clutch was actuated by a cable (that could, and did break). But aside from dead stops, it was pretty easy to drive without a clutch.

This isn't it, but it could be

Nice Ted and hey boomer!

My dad wishes he would have tried to pull some strings and special order the 412 with the manual since he bought it new as a factory order. Back then those kinds of things were within the realm of possibility, maybe. Thing was a beast hill climber/snow machine with all that weight in the back and snows.

[Ted Striker]

Yeah, mine was good in snow too. Heat and defrost were another matter. The combustion heater didn't work when I bought it, and the exhaust heat exchangers were rusted through.

It was a good first car because it taught me how to troubleshoot and twist wrenches.

But I'm not a boomer, just an old genxer

[uglymoney]

Oops. Sorry Ted. Yeah I am 48. Right smack dan middle aged gen x.

No offense taken. I knew from your Jackson in dad's vw thread that we were basically the same age. My dad had the van.

Old A6 Allroad; New A6 Allroad

Saw the new Allroad on display last weekend. Looks nice, but space and clearance are no doubt lacking. Gremlins aside: an original with a 4.2 with a 6sp would be the ticket.

It’ll need the chain and guides done, thus the low(ish) price.

168k miles. Other than add 2 quarts of oil car has had zero maintenance In three years. Only about 20k miles but still. I’m afraid to take it in now.

Hahahaha! Perfect. "The Wagon."

Reminds me of a little office prank we did to a coworker years ago. Guy had Chevy emblems all over his truck. Stickers, mud flaps, the works Ya know. Just in case you didn't realize it was a Chevy or something? Guy was kind of a dolt (but very arrogant), so we used to say he had to do that so he'd remember what kind of vehicle he had. So anyway, we ended up staying late after work one night and put Post-It notes all over his office labeling EVERYTHING. "The monitor,' "The keyboard," "The Whiteboard," "The Pencil," "The Supply Closet," "The Coffee Mug," so on and so forth. Hundreds of Post-Its. Guy was predictably pissed the next morning. Worth it.

But BMW calls it Touring and not a Wagon.

This bad boy is rad. M57 twin turbo diesel swapped E91 xdrive 6spd.

The dude is selling it to pay for a wedding. I think he’s marrying the wrong person. Seriously.

[jackattack]

cool car but those "carbon" panels are fugly, probably why she made him sell it.

[plugboots]

Maybe she only drives a manual.

[jackattack]

Maybe she only drives a manual.

I can't imagine a manual in that car. 454hp and 732 ft-lbs? That would have to be one heavy-ass clutch. Maybe he's a butt man?

[plugboots]

He traded in his main hobby for a wedding. I’d love to see a follow up in about two years to see how it all worked out.

[shirk]

Yep dude's got priority issues needing to see the car to pay for a wedding.

[lifelinksplit]

Not a wagon but I had a buddy sell an absolutely pristine jeep scrambler to help pay for his wedding. He still talks about selling that thing however he is still with the wife
