I love my A4!!!!

[Audios]

Hey guys felt the need to spread the love on my little A4 and figured youd all appreciate it. Heres the story.
Bought my 97 1.8tqm in 2002, with 40k on it. No options besides the pearl paint. Soon after chipped it and threw an exhaust on. At 65k blew the head, which resulted in me rebuilding it over 18 months. Ported head, exhaust manifold, snub mount, intake spacer, electric fan kit, lightweight pulley etc. Finally got it all together and drove it for another 70k. On my way to work one morning (BMW dealer) the chain tensioner took a shit. Fearing the worst (another head) I parked it for the week since i was on Roadside, and had the roadside wagon all week. Well during that week someone traded in an 04 S4, which I bought. So the A4 sat for 18 months while I drove the S4. I got around to looking at it 4 weeks ago, and saw it was only the tensioner that failed, so I figured Id give that a go. Threw it in and the car runs beautiful. 130k on the clock and is still uber reliable. Put 1000 miles on it in 2 weeks and no problems whatsoever. Even got 27 mpg on a weekend trip, the S cant even get 20 all highway. Now that Im blessed with 2 Audis, I get to pick which one to drive everyday. Can anyone guess which one it is!?! The A4 lol. Am I nuts for acting like this?! I think the A4 is a great vehicle and will always be a timeless design. I hope to drive this one well into the 200's! My name is John and I have an addiction to Audi, thanks for listening lol!

Nice! Can't imagine having my car sitting around for 18 months ahha. Nice you got it all worked out though. I've always wanted two cars so I don't have to worry about down time for a car that is my daily driver.
