Re: OS Cars Thread

Thanks, guys.

A couple of firsts today. We were driving around town and a couple of kids in a modded white BMW were snapping pictures with a camera and a gopro on a stick they had hanging out of the sunroof. It was kind of weird, but also kind of cool.

Later on I had an almost mirror image pull up beside me at a stop light; 2015+ black WRX limited. He had STI badges, but no wing. We exchanged pleasantries.

Riding up on 100,000 miles on my 2008 Audi A4... Looking to purchase a new car and was deciding on a used 2013 Audi S4 or a brand new 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee... Not particularly set on either one of them though, might even looking into the BMW 3 series or X5 in diesel. Any thoughts?

How's the A4 riding at 100k? I'm sure it can go another 100k without a problem.

I was gonna ask the same thing. Isn't that the the model / year that had the major oil burn problem starting around 60k miles?

As for the original question, I think the new Cherokee's look sweet. Havent been in one to see the ride though.

It runs well right now, but I have to change the timing belt soon and I can already feel the brake pads needing to be changed soon as well. It rides well for a 90K car though, and a lot of that is highway mileage that I've put on in a matter of 1.5 years (my second job has me driving up to 2-3,000 miles a month). I'm also deciding on moving to NYC next year though so I was thinking of holding off on buying a newer car, but if I were to move to NYC and keep my car, I feel like an S4 would be more worth it since it's smaller and easier to find parking for.

I have to put a pint of oil in every 1.5-2,000 miles and normally have my oil changed every 5-6,000.

Re: OS Cars Thread

I ordered some winter Pirellis from Tire Rack and had them mounted this weekend along with an oil change since. She only has 2000 miles on her, but I figured since she's broken in now to just go ahead and get some fresh, clean oil in her.


Does anybody have any recommendations for a waterless car wash? I want to wash my car, but don't want to freeze my hand off in the process.

Find you a hand car wash place.

My acute OCD won't allow that unfortunately.

Replaced our X3 with a 430i Gran Coupe. I'll take better pics later in week.

Drives really nice. Most importantly the wife likes it.

Re: OS Cars Thread

This is my new ride! What is really cool about it is that after I had finished all the paperwork, the GM of the dealership came over and said "Hey Bryan you are really into Baseball right? Well I just thought you would like to know this was Wayne Gomes' Fj. He just traded it in a few weeks ago."

How cool is that, me of all people, to end up with a used vehicle owned by an ex baseball player? Just kind of a neat thing to happen.

So, somebody took a WRX STI down a bobsled run:

I'm pretty big into cars. Snapped a picture of my super lame daily driver. 2000 focus wagon, lol.
