She's begging me to get rid of the Stebro. I need to find a stock exhaust system.

No, not on the winter car. I wasn't wanting to spend as much on it...I'll do that on the 20vt.

Default Tires and alignment are not Audi-specific expenditures....

and these cars are only as expensive to own as we want them to be. I have only *needed* to change the fluids, a timing belt, and a couple electrical components since owning it. All the other money I've spent has been "wasted" on stuff I *want*. What did that dude in the Matrix say? "There are levels of survival we are willing to accept"?

I was just curious why you spent $300 on mounts and tie-rods?

True, but they are daily driveability specific and I need her to run for a while longer.

Default Well...

The whole tie rod assembly was $78 (front passenger) and the strut mounts were only like 16/each. I could have installed the tie rod, but didn't feel like it so when I had the mounts installed they installed the tie rod too. Labor $180. I have enough time to work on one car....not two.
