944 Turbo, S, or S2? I am a lover of the '86.5 And newer turbo and S2. My neighbor has one he keeps as street junk and I have offered to help him restore it, but he doesnt have the money. I have thought about asking to take the title and start on it but I really shouldn't. I need to save up for when my Outback head gaskets fail.

I have one... 89 turbo with 150k on it. It is fun to drive.

Been driving my 02 A8L for about 3 years, had an 03 S8, it was a bit too high strung, The A8l is just so fucking good at everything its hard to imagine driving anything else for a while. Bargains out there galore. Ive got 170k on this one, pulls like a freight train even with all the boxcars stuffed. Audi D2 chassis has my undivided attention right now.

Aldo what should it cost me to replace the turbos in my '04 allroad? It's running like a champ but they are leaking oil and it smells like burning after a run up the canyon (it's living in UT now). Burned a quart of oil in ~1000 miles. I would just do K03's again. Had the head gasket replaced just before I took it out there and that seems fine, can't see oil anywhere else, the shop at home has been telling me the one turbo has been leaking for a while now. ~148K on the rig, original turbos Or should I just burn oil until they actually shit the bed or what?

ever find anything?

I'm kind of curious as to what Tommy Moe used to drive.

this is the sweet ass whip of a gold medalist
(and a w/e warrior maggot)

it's old but only has like 60 something k miles- they barely drove it (the moe's live in wilson wy which is teeny so they can like walk to school, the coffee shop etc) and I bought it a couple yrs ago but don't drive much either. I live 4m from work and our other vehicle is a eurovan so we take that whenever we do road trips so basically planning on keeping this car foreva

ps I think TM drives a jeep wrangler these days

Tommy Moe is a soccer mom!!!

Are those anal beads hanging from the mirror?

I have one of those too. The xc, not the beads.

[babybear]

maybe they were good luck beads or something- but they were BIG and nobody acknowledged them

I only have a disco ball air freshener

Much better use of funds.

always a safe bet

[Bobby Stainless]

My favorite Lexus is the GS300, with the non-turbo 2JZ-GE engine. Bullet proof.

They are also easily converted into 600hp monsters.


Same with the SC300. I've owned 5-6 SCs, and 3-4 GS300s. Mrs. Stainless drives a GX460. She wanted a G Wagen and I told her to kick rocks.

[BmillsSkier]

I'm glad someone posted that. I'm a big fan of my wife's XC70 T6

Heh. My mom drives that same LS460L. The back seat is better than flying first class.

[Bobby Stainless]

Completely random, but this is a screaming deal, and I can facilitate a better one. (I used to manage a Porsche store, and know the seller well)

Link doesn't open on the iPhone but someone has a lot of pretty white ladies there.

Not exactly 10 years old plus, or is it? 997 GT3?

The back seat of your mom's car is pretty nice.

Soft pitch...

[Bobby Stainless]

It's a 07. 9 years.

It's a clean car.

Pitch? That's on a tee.
