    2020 Offroad 6MT, Silver Sky Metallic.
    I just ticked over the 100 mile mark and bought it with ~20 on it.
    My current car I've had (still have) and kept going for 19 years, it's a '91 Audi 200.
    A couple other Audi projects along the way too. Usually inline 5 based motors.
    This is the first new vehicle I've ever purchased. It's pretty great so far.
    Looking forward to learning about everything on the forum. I'm glad to have found another active car community to interact with.

    Oh it's reliable, but modding your Taco is like eating Pringles. You can't do just one mod!
