My 2001 Audi S4 with 60,000 miles is costing me a small fortune to keep on the road. While I love this car, I would not recommend owning an Audi outside the warranty period.

It looks like things haven't changed.

When they were building cars in the 80s, they used aluminum in the electrical connections. With enough time, the galvanic corrosion gets to the point where they will no longer conduct and blink, eveything on the dashboard goes blank.

I recently bought a new ride but don't have any pics of it yet. But I will show you my box and my brother's 84 911 cab. Amazing how beautiful these cars are.

I don't know what is worse, that you own a minivan or that you ADMIT you own a minivan.

At least you are are Boxster owner, so all is forgiven ( I HATE MINIVANS ).

Having a Boxster and a minivan to me would be like being married to a pig but having a playboy playmate as a mistress...

My Boxster is my daily driver.
Wife's new daily driver is an '05 Subaru LLBean Outback. It actually has more bhp than the Boxster....just not the performance. I'm impressed with the 3.0L motor, however. Decent performance, fulltime allwheel drive and a little room to haul stuff. We had a '99 Dodge Dakota so we were used to being able to 'haul stuff'.
