Reliability of Triptronic vs Reliability of Manual
#11
In all seriousness, I have a drive shaft that is going. At this point I think I'm going to drive it until it goes. Then lease some car so I wont have to pay a dime for maintanance, possible happiest thought of my life. And do a full RS6 6mt converison. Or I'll buy a house this year to get back my ****ing 8 grand in fed taxes.

I wish I could do that, but I have enough trouble with sticky radio buttons as it is. Besides, my girlfriend washes her hair once a day anyway, might as well knock out two birds with one stone, ya know?

Bukkake party! Actually, I'm a gentleman, so I try to keep away from the face. Also, to help keep the place neat and tidy I always wipe it off on the drapes.

Decide what you want from a car first - this will enable you to make the right choice of which car to buy for your needs (mabye not an S4).
Tiptronics are a lot of fun (over the years I have suprised many cars and one sport bike that should have been a lot faster and walked me, but they didn't - Corvette, AMG Benz, several M3's, Firebird, etc). Oh, and they can certainly be sporty.
Also remember, this is a street car. If you are buying a car for track duty, or street & track then you are honestly better off chosing another platform completely.
I have a Stg 3- with 3" DP's, Ohlins Suspension, AWE SMIC's and fully built Transmission (tiptronic) and on a continually twisty road I can more than hold my own agasint an idnentically setup S4 6spd.
However many maintenance shops and tuners won't mess with Tips because they get a greater return for their effort w/the 6spds and hey, everyone likes easy money; and, becaue very few people today are willing to work hard. JMO
