Just traded in my 2013 S4 towards a 2019 RS5 Sportback and man, it's a beast...  Even better, with a quick change of Drive Select, it becomes a kitten - or at least fairly close.

And bonus points - there's almost no need for any real modifications.  Of course the tradeoff is that when it comes time to change tires, I'm out $1.8k.  And brakes are going to be around $3k if I do them myself...

True that. Coulda made some cash betting on Alonso to show.

I can't remember the last time I watched a race with three different standing starts. Pretty crazy. Maybe they should use the red flags more often.

I'd call this Geekneck engineering. No access to a 3D printer, so I built a heat extractor for my gaming rig using cardboard, tape, a piece of roof flashing and ducting. Works really well - on warm days, it keeps temps in my man cave down about 5 degrees, which helps the computer too.

When you can't get enough of that weed:

Happy 4/20 anyone?

 

Looks like a MacGyver redneck smokehouse to me. Pretty good solution actually.

I fell asleep midway through.

After a pretty boring start, that was a hell of a race. Gotta wonder about Verstappen though - only a 10 second penalty on that?

 

And I'm happy to acknowledge that I was wrong about coverage. The new commercial free coverage is definitely a joy.

Yeah, but I'm sure they'll have that annoying 'side by side' going on in lieu of actual commercial breaks. Plus, now getting a beer or hitting the head gets harder, lol.

That's just a side effect from so much downforce on the car.

That is ******* epic.

I'd take that widebody Porsche, but otherwise, NOPE!

WTF????

I wonder what the range is on that thing...

Damn, Daniel! Should have asked them the what the top trending videos were on Youtube - probably would have gotten all of the correct.

 

If they wanted geography questions answered correctly, Jay needed to find the geeks in the group.

Looks like a grad student in music theory had a crazy idea for a project...

It actually looks like it's just sitting on top of the hood for the pic. Doesn't look installed at all...

Autozam? Huh, never even heard of them. I still maintain it looks more like a RS200:

Heh, more like the little known Pontiac RS150

Yeah, though you can't see it so much, that muffler was definitely rice, plus hanging down pretty low. "Powered by Toyota" sticker on the back bumper, "TRD" on the front quarter panel. Interesting rear window rain/sun visor thingy. I'm not so sure that's the stock rear wing either.

Spotted this little gem in the line at Costco gas the other day...

 

Upload it to Google +, Photobucket or similar and link it here.

Any idea when these will be available again?

Thanks MC! I'd actually figured it out anyways. One vacuum leak fixed. Not sure if my stalling issue is vacuum related or not. Car's going to Infamous today to get checked out...

Is there one of these diagrams for the 2007 version anywhere? I know the 07 cars don't have the blue tee, so my real question is where does the vacuum line go to?

True that. I was speaking more as an alternative. No need for spacers with composite TGV's.
