Sorry that sounded well dodgy. Given the opportunity I would’ve definitely bought that car. It is no doubt a garage queen and a very clean car.
My comment was more that I’m glad I’m sticking with my Avant. I developed some sort of gooey eyed attachment to the old girl that has resulted in me not being able to list it for sale. The RS4 would’ve resulted in more debt, so good from that POV.
I drove down our street once with about 18" of fresh light snow on it. I could barely see anything since the snow was all going right over the hood and windshield. It was amazing that it didn’t get high centered since I’m about 2" off the ground. I saw a neighbor later who said “that was crazy, your car looked like a submarine!”
It’s all about the power (well that and the fact the snow was so light). Subaru makes an amazing AWD system, we’ve had 2, but they’re so under powered they get stuck in deep snow then smell like an oil refinery when you load the engine.
For $500? Hell no! They’re great, sound great, holding up really well even though I’m plowing tons of snow and hitting stupid raised pavement bits in the centre part of the road (some of our streets need some serious attention).
If you have a 4.2 S4 and want catless DPs (mine are catless), Trexturk’s is definitely my #1 choice.
No idea if he sold his car or if he still makes them but he did ship them to me and only charged me $20 for shipping to Canada. So my final price was $520 all in. Pretty damn good price IMO.
