You could add the RSNAV fixed screen upgrade. Runs wireless AA/Carplay and adds a number of other functions as an overlay to the MMI: https://rsnav.com/products/10-25-1920x720-hd-android-7-1-2-4gb-64gb-s2-navigation-system-for-audi-c7-a6-s7-s6-s7-rs6-rs7

Can't do it. Sing-and-dance reality TV jumped the shark after "____Got Talent." Every-fucking-theme these days is sing and dance. Lego Masters is way cooler than this shit.

All the good stuff is online. There are some not-so-nice parts of our cars that are fairly expensive and warrant replacement after 60K, like the active motor mounts. Brake rotors, shocks/struts, control arm bushings and stretch bolts are reasonably priced-- even the DSG fluid change isn't so bad considering the engineering involved in those parts.

2012 A6 3.0T? I don't see where your totals could get that high, even on an aging car. What does it need and who came up with the diagnosis? Parts are cheap and if you're interested in keeping the car, just get an independent shop to do the work. You're not missing out on much from a newer model anyway. Near-nobody maintains their Lexotas to same standard over that time period-- that entire segment is bemoaned to do anything more than an oil change under the guise that Toyotas are designed to just gas-and-go, like the souless appliances they are. You're still likely tasked to do a cooling system overhaul, replacement of key suspension bushings, shocks/struts, brakes, all the shit that was overlooked as a truck passes the 60K-mi mark.

That's a great topic to propose: Let's say you have extra room in the garage for a weekend cruiser. You get to choose one car to bring home as a nostalgia interest, but the catch is it must fit into a High School-nostalgia story. What's your choice? I had a '89 Mustang GT in my Jr and Sr years, so the Fox body is out. As a fun, obnoxious, too-loud, "fuck you" car, I want a '92 LX coupe in Calypso Green with a 5.2L Voodoo Aluminator XS crate swap and Griggs-all-the-things. Something like this: I lusted after the FD RX-7 at that time and it was far too expensive for anything I could afford or even hope to buy into college. A co-worker owned a '95 model, at the time I was a senior working in an office for a school co-op program. I probably knew just as much about the car as he did, but I never got to drive it. My choice is a Montego Blue RX-7 Touring. https://www.hagerty.com/media/buying-and-selling/bring-a-trailer-rx7-sells-for-world-record-amount/

Audi's reliability reputation experienced a massive improvement in the early-2000s with the B8 A4/A5/Q5 models and C7 A6 when powertrains were refreshed. Everything got the ZF8HP transmission and the 3.2L V6 was substituted for the reliable and powerful 3.0 supercharged V6. The 1.8L VW-corporate turbo 4 was replaced with the 2.0L turbo 4 and the portfolio thrived with few changes over the last 8-10 years. On the high end, the 4.0 twin turbo V8 in my S6 has been plagued with premature turbocharger failure, some of which can be mitigated by oil screen replacement. To me, it's all the better excuse to upgrade to billet RS6/RS7 turbos. That was a Bentley-derived 4.0 that has has recently been replaced for the new RS6, RS7 and RSQ8. Now the Audi RS portfolio gets its powertrains straight from Porsche. The RS 2.9L turbo V6 is a Porsche catalog item as is the new 4.0L turbo V8. The new 3.0L turbo V6 in the S models was an Audi-Porsche collaborative design. 4-cylinder models remain VW-Audi corporate parts.

I have the same B&O option in my S6 and it's the best damn sounding audio system I've heard in any car. Replaced the factory sub driver for an Audison APS 8 and it's near perfect.

Glacier Audis all up in hurr (mine's a S6). Glad you fixed the wheels, I couldn't locate them in the first pic.

Someone here has to have access to the city's Zoning and Development archives, right? Just pull the permit set and tell us what it's supposed to look like. I'm not a fan so far.

I prefer this version:

Logistics were insufferable, especially to those used to how shit works when Texas-OU is playing. Only portions of the fairgrounds were open and most of it was a cattle-call with no more room to allow for elbows to assholes. $12 Bud Lights. DART fucking up their schedule by running only Green Line trains so everyone lumps into the same cars without a clue of how to get there or home. All that and it was an epic finish, glad I went. Weather could have been way worse and it's difficult to imagine this in a better venue.

So it's not happening? Get your shit together twitfucks

Get the nappy-headed ho killed too? I'm game.

They only had 11 scholarships to offer for 2020 so they're not going to look good on class rankings but they also didn't land any of the California top-25, either. ASU and Oregon seem to be cleaning up this year.

ESPN charging everyone $4.95 on their cable bill while out here writing $9.95 hot takes.

Bad news, bub. Ain't no H-E-Bs in Brownwood, Lubbock or Los Angeles. Dude would be completely lost and ain't coming. Brookshire's isn't close enough to matter.

That's only on Shaggy... er, Surly. There are posters on other boards already brandishing Herman gone at this point next year, as the prospect of bailing your own ass out with new assistants rarely works out.

...to throw three picks and be substituted for Rattler's debut, to the amazement of everyone who didn't think nappy-headed leprechauns exist.

Fuck you, Nick.

Suck a rice dick, sooner. Neither OU nor Texas could start the RRR game this year before Defee's shithead crew issued an unsportsman warning to every player on both sides. This fuckstain conference just took a needle to the balloon of energy in its biggest rivalry game and jawing is part of what makes the rivalry great.

At this point, I'm concerned Herman has become a known-entity among some coaching circles and a candidate either has to look beyond the negativity or already be in the ol' Ohio State/UH boys' club to come on for an interview. More glaring of a concern for OC than DC, but I'm skeptical Herman will hire someone he's never worked with or has no connections to.

And puzzling since he was already on staff as an analyst. I get that Herman and Orlando were probably so thick-skinned that they ignored any advice being handed down but what gives anyone the impression this guy is going to turn things around while watching a half-season of the same rehashed mistakes torch the defense from the sidelines?

They actually flagged OU for holds a couple times
