My employee has an Audi S4 that is stage 3 and will destroy just about anything I have seen, including a few vettes around here. We got on the freeway one day and we were at over 100 in early 3rd gear...I know it cant tow, but damn, they command some respect for the shear speed. No way could you pull yourself up outa the seat, to much g force. I have a vid of it somewhere, might need to search for it.

Oh about the Canada girls, we have a saying about them around these parts...

Agreed, thats why we all have Super Duties.

Good luck Brendan.
I'll let you know when we can make it happen, and yeah Travis better make it too. Heck, bring everyone, it'll be fun... Maybe we can scout some land out for our commune.

I'll check in after CSI...

We were both getting gas at the same place. Me in the Vdub and he in that.
No cash I was 16 and wheels were wheels! I didnt have alot of money back then so i took what I could get

I dont mind the rice burners either, for every bad story told about them I could tell 5 good ones
Sure, they arent a ford superduty though!

Marks pic just reminded me of something....I used to work/live at an apartment complex. You wouldnt believe half of the stuff that these young college kids were doing at night. The building had only 3 floors yet they still made attempts at a few things while they were alone in the elevator. I knew where all the 22 cameras were so I never got in trouble for this and that...especially fraternizing with the female tenants while on duty.
Best job Ive ever had!
