Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer
Is the level of bullshit you have to go through to change things in a direction you want, less than than or equal than the level of current bullshit?

Coop
[quote=""Melis""]The cop asked Coop "Are you really a firefighter?" Coop was like "yeah" then the cop said "ok your in charge" then the cop left :lol:

I've read a lot of good things about the engine and trans used in the SQ5. :d ontknow:

For anyone playing along at home, the MaxCare for my S5 was $3100. Corvette is $1700.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Yeah jeff is right, first thing I did was Google about problems just out of curiosity. Seems way more reliable than Jeff’s.

Go watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ_gsGhcRtU

30 minutes of watching him replace the turbo oil screens cured me of any desire to own an RS7.

It sucks, because they're starting to get affordable.

If it's anything like the V8 probably not terrible. Those seem decent other than the oil screens and there are aftermarket fixes for that.

It's a single turbo instead of twins, so maybe it'll be easier to work on.

The new RS5 has a 2.9L twin. Those look really good too.

Dunno exactly. I got a text saying the 6th, but she got an email saying the 14th. We're not even sure how I got signed up for the texts in the first place. :lol:

Apparently it's there now :lol:

I just got a text saying they've started arrival quality check. They say it can take a few days, but I doubt that'll be the case.

The hot v set up looks pretty easy to work on actually, the turbo is right on top and easy to get to.
[thestealth] It's not every laborador-sized mammal that gets a damned APC named after it, but the Honey Badger isn't your typical member of the Mammalia class. He's a brutal, vicious killer who kicks asses, never backs down, never registers fear, destroys everything in its path and then adorably trots off into the sunset with his prey in his teeth and the severed nutsacks of his enemies still gripped between his dagger-like claws. It's a badass animal.

[thestealth] just like steve
