you are going to sleep at 8:45 on a saturday night, to wake up at 3am and drive 6h from Maine to Long Island, NY, through an ice storm, to pick up a medium rare Audi...instead of drinking beer and eating a medium rare steak. Wish me luck! Night OPPO!

I like going to bed at 8:45 for the simple sake of going to bed at 8:45 most nights, haha.

Damn haha.

I could use an excuse to not work.

Stop by in NH and we can put her on a lift and make sure she's mint.

Also, if you aren't in Cumberland County I can sticker it too.

Well I must be absolute nuts then to fly to Georgia from Boston to drive home a 40yo ford pickup in a blizzard! Good luck and have fun. Doing stuff like this is like having your own top gear/ roadkill adventure, it's great fun. Those audis are great fun btw, congradulations on the purchase!

Good luck with your travels.

hahaha! I think I'm in that stage right now. I suppose I'm trying to enjoy being able to go sleep early and wake up early in the morning and go the gym/putter around, have coffee, and read the FT/WSJ if and when I want to before I get one of them there children things I've been hearing so much about recently.

lol nice, yeah when you get to my point then you will think twice about swishing the single malt around in the glass before you drink it. Only one kind of legs that matter in this mortal coil

But I can't sticker a Cumberland County car :(

I work at VIP in Rochester.

If you find time, not sure when you expect to be back, we close at 4. Stop in and we can either dick around or do some work to her ahah

ah yeah wont be tomorrow...BUUUUT I head out there some times. This one might catch a york county reg anyways. Now I know where you work....

Here is the deal, I will pass the car.

As long as it meets emissions (if it needs to be plugged in the CEL has to be off)

And won't fall apart.

I can also do tires for you, and whatever other stuff you may not be able to do in a yard.

Ask for Nick to work on your car and I will be the only person to drive it in and touch the car.

So, you got a car without seeing the interior shots?

I spent a week up in the North Woods, you have a beautiful state. Congratz on the new addition to your family!

I saw a shot of it, from the passenger side. I knew they were fucked, but not so bad the drivers seat had one side floppy. I have a nice black cloth 90S interior sitting here waiting for it (half the reason I bought the car) but it was a tough drive back 5.5 hours

The more and more I read about people buying B3 Audi's off craigslist and finding rust problems, the luckier I feel that I somehow managed to nab a rust-free example.

Though I wish mine had the factory foglights left...

it was only another 1.5 hours to the 80Q, and I like the spoiler better. Ah well, he got LeMons money for it, with 5 new tires on nice BBS's. That was worth it in my book. Engine compartment was spotless, looks brand new though. Fogs are there too!

My son and I have been looking for a car for him and honesty is not the craigslist policy apparently.

Desu-San-Desu > 505Turbeaux 12/23/2013 at 09:24

I actually like the 80Q spoiler better, haha. Those BBS's are sweet, though.

Eventually I'll replace the fogs on mine, but I don't have $150 laying around right now.

505Turbeaux > Desu-San-Desu 12/23/2013 at 09:39

yeah too bad these fogs arent made anymore. Even worse was the ones for a volvo 850R. $400 a side. When I saw a running parts car come up for $600 with fogs I jumped right on it!

oh no shit! Good to know! The 850r is not made at all, that $400 a side was for used!

passenger side is like 40 bucks! woo! If this thing comes back to where I want it I might get new fogs for it.
