What Car Do You Own?

Well... currently i'm car-less. In the process of dealing with pain in the ass insurance companies, lawyers, and police to get back on the road and walking properly again.

Up until January 3rd, i was the proud owner of a 2001.5 Audi A4 with a lot of modifications including a Reiger RS4 body kit, VIS Carbon Fiber hood, big turbo, and a lot of other work making it my cherished car.

Here is a photo of it before i put on the RS4 side skirts, e-code head lights, and big turbo kit.

Unfortunately on January 3rd, just after 9pm.... i was hit head on by a drunk driver who then fled ths scene but was arrested not far from the accident due to his Jetta being completely annihilated, far worse than my car. I was knocked out by the airbag, sustained a concussion, torn muscles and MCL in my right knee from hitting the dashboard, and some memory loss. Its been over a month now and i'm starting to walk a lot better but my knee is going to need surgery. Medical bills are topping $15-20k so far and i'm pretty much stuck at home because I have no car. I have my own business as a systems consultant and that is down the drain now also since i'm injured and cannot work.

Here is what was left of my car at the scene of the accident before i went to the hospital...

Once all the legal crap is said and done, i'm planning on buying another Audi. It was a great car and definitely a safe car considering how bad the impact was. I'm looking into the 2006 Audi S4 which has a 340hp 4.2l V-8 and much more. :)

Oh man that is so :banana::banana::banana::banana:ed, some drunk ass ruining your car and life for a while, good luck! You gotta love the audi's ;)

Yeah. While its a shame and big let down that i'm going to get screwed out of all the money I put into the car, i'm glad that the car was so incredibly safe and I was able to "almost" walk away from the accident. The car really took the hit well and in my opinion, saved my life. I don't think many small sport sedans would have done that well in such a hard impact.

While i'm looking at cars like the STI and EVO for its replacement, the one thing thats always in the back of my head is how safe the A4 is. No matter how schooled a driver you are and how many racing classes you go to, there is always people like the :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::b anana: who destroyed my car and will make the roads unsafe.

Every car on the road is your enemy. But even then the most schooled drivers can be a victim of people like the guy who hit me.

One thing i've learned in this whole fiasco is that if you modify cars, make sure you inform your insurance company that your car has been modified so you get insured (for extra money of course) on all your extras. I spent over $6000 on mods on my Audi and since i never did this... i'm going to get screwed by my insurance on all mods done to the car. Definitely a learning lesson.

Let the flaming begin. :)

Here, I'll make a chronologic history of my truck for you guys. :P
PS- down with ford, and imports of any kind. :P

First set of 5 pictures...

This is when I first got the truck from the Dealership, took it home to take some nice pictures to show all my buddies. Then of course, right after that, I had to go and get it dirty. :)

Second set of 5 pictures;

Some pictures of the truck with more mud on it, then doing some hill climbing... And once I had my fun, I decided it was time to make my truck stand out a little bit. I took off all the badges on the truck... No more HEMI logo, no more RAM 1500, and no more Dealership tags...

3rd set of 5 pics...

I removed the amber sections of my headlights... It took me 45 minutes, and I saved myself $200 (that's what clear headlights cost from the ricer shops) I also removed the second muffler... But that still wasn't loud enough... So I upgraded to a glasspacks... :)

My ears look huge in this picture, don't they? :banana::banana::banana::banana: me...

Anyways, here's a short video of my truck... Too bad my friends camera sucks, I would have used mine... But I ran over it. :P :P :P

Hey rob[GL] , nice truck! I only see one problem.... It's a gasser, I would never buy a dodge unless it's a cummins!!! I am a ford man more than anything but I like all trucks. I can't wait to see what happens when dodge looses it's cummins diesel liscense to ford. fords will be so badass after they put that engine in there superduty line.

Mine is like this:

AUDI A3 Sportback 2.0TDi w/ DSG automatic gearbox.

Pics taken by me coming soon ;)

95 ford taurus se. lol its very very slow. but its very easy to steer. and i like that.

i know a 17 year old girl with an '06 Audi S4...she just got it. she complained to her parents too much about the Audi TT they got her last year.

after my friend gets his truck done, ill post pics of the dyno results...it should have quite a bit more power than it did before. 2 superchargers eat your engines power like you wouldnt believe. very inefficient. makes ~700hp at the crank, almost 500 at the wheels. we redid the fuel injection, and put smaller pulleys on it :D 15psi of boost now. 406ci v8...needs to be tuned. but its too cold out.

Well... I got a new car and here it is. :) 2006 Evolution IX with the Sun, Sound, and Leather package. Can't wait to get it to the track after the break in period!

Haha, I really like that.

The car is kind of sad at the moment. Engine block is on the floor of my garage, but I have a box of goodies going in soon enough :)

i have got a small Opel Corsa C in black (should be a vauxhall in US)
a pretty nice car, less horsepower (58PS) but 105 mph are enough :P
when i got more money i'll buy bigger tires, Rims and a engine with more power, 220PS and nearly 160MpH ;)

I haven't posted in this thread since I got my car, but I thought I'd share some recent pics after I did my bi-annual detail routine:

• Rinse
• Tape Everything off
• 3M Finess It II (if necessary)
• 3M Imperial Hand Glaze (awesome awesome awesome, couldn't pay me not to use it)
• Poorboys EX-P
• Pinnacle Souveran

Since I posted pics of it (when new), I've added a few mods like suspension, CF interior trim, angel eyes, painted reflectors, tint, CSL diffuser

beat my friends civic with this from a standing start :lol2:

in all seriousness, i love this car. sure, it's not real fast, or agile.. but there's something about how it drives that no other car i've driven in comes anywhere close to :D

omg very aerodynamic ;)
