Haha…this is where the platform has gone. Instead of enjoying an AWD V8 Luxury Sedan/Wagon, dudes be worried about their wipers getting bent out of shape.

#4887

Interesting, I never knew this

#4888

+1 so the people putt a premium on their used knackered shocks because “they are no longer available”… but you could probably cobble the kit together?

#4889

IIRC, PSI designed the Stasis Motorsport kit. Granted the TTX36 is a newer better Ohlins shock, but it’s slightly amusing seeing the Stasis hate and people picking up the new Ohlins kit which may be designed by the exact same person.

True but it’s funny.

In a non RaudiDriver way, I will say this…the B6/7 S4 is now a very cool, yet very affordable car. So you are going to get some young guys buying them. This will yield 4 things

  1. people will worry about the car like crazy and do funny things because it is literally their entire net worth. Wiper guy may qualify. Or maybe he’s just OCD. But you will see more ‘So i told her to get the fuck out of the car unless she took her jeans off’ posts etc.

  2. some ghetto modifications and people wanting the cheapest possible chinese crap, because some of them don’t recognize the value of a quality part because they think they frankly can’t afford it (even though they could buy good used stuff, or recognize that buying good 1x is better than buying cheap 2x)

  3. some guys will take some risks and push the envelope a little (that will be interesting)

  4. (this is the best part) - the young guys will bring epic lulz to the forum in that guys who post stupid shit will get fucking LIT UP because young people are ruthless on the interenet. Great theatre/comedy. I used to check out the B5 S4 section all the time for these lulz :slight_smile:

Ok, now I’ve seen it all…

So far, I’ve seen 1-3…I haven’t seen much of four.

You haven’t seen the thread about the guy wanting to blow up his engine so the warranty company could pay for it…let me see if I can find it.

#4899

Haha ‘is there a way to make the timing chains fail early?’

That guy?

#4900

Yup! Haha…I think the community shat on him in that thread.

#4901

Yeah. That was a good one. Basically summed up to “lol yeah if you want to commit insurance fraud, now that you’ve posted it on the internet for everyone to see.”

I was actually surprised that so many people shit on him (rightfully so). I was assuming the worse and would see people helping him try to do it. When i saw he was getting shit on i was a little happy inside thinking there is still hope for the b6-7 section…only to see wiper blades guy a week or so later lol.
