    the Alltrack can get to 350hp with a tune, DP, is38, and intercooler upgrade. :burnrubber:

    I might be happy with a simple dsg and stage 1 tune for 91 to go from 170 to 250 though lol

    Yeah I love how easy modern turbo cars can make good power with just simple tunes and bolt ons

    Yeah it's hard to not go wild on it because that's all I want to do. But keep the stock exhaust and only lower it a little lol

    Dealer is replacing the outer door seal since it's deformed, even though they couldn't recreate the problem.

    They said the rear drain is clogged and needs cleaned, but for $100 I'll fish some wire or whatever to clean it lol

    So after we get a house I'll likely get one.

    I'm manifesting it into existence

    Pull the trim panels and look. It's easy to see if they're clogged. On rare occasions, we see kinked hoses. At that point, we replace them because it's hard to get the kink out of the hose's memory.

    So I think the bottoms are the bit that gets clogged. I don't have a big enough space to warm the plastic up to mess with trim but Ill take a look when it warms up.

    At less than 10 F plastic tends to get brittle lol

    <3 <3 <3

    I'll make it happn, find your reply and reply with a photo of it in my driveway :)

    After you get a house will be house mods, never ending house mods. Make the RS6 a "house" mod. :rofl:

    I think we're aiming for a finished home or even a custom home at this point. A fixer upper sort of interests me but these days there's no value to be had anywhere lol

    Basiclally flat land is all I want, where I can build a barn or something. Maybe you're right, maybe barn before RS6..... :rofl:

    Edit: after much thought, I still want the RS6 as long as I have a garage to park it in.

    I don't know how you haven't. Especially being so close to AWE.

    Yep thats my next move, either sell my current house and find one with a garage or build a garage/shop, doing any type of work on a gravel drive is no fun.

    That thing is SWEET!

    I considered a BMW wagon but they were pretty hard to find at the time of my search. Especially in my frugal af budget lol

    I bet that thing doesn't have constant leaks like mine lol

    No leaks my man. I think there are quite a few of these that come off lease and are for sale on Autotrader. 2019 was the last year BMW built a wagon in the US so they are starting to hit the secondary market. I don't think you can go wrong with the Allroad either.

    Best of luck!

    Yeah, but it's still a BMW. It's own issues will emerge with due time.
