[quote=""Jeff V.""]You obviously didn't watch Rich's video about the RS7 :lol: [/quote]

I'll look for it but Rich does complain a lot.

I do enjoy his videos though.

Can they be coded to a us spec car? My understanding is they're not DOT legal and why we never got them

I like interesting lighting technology, but not for anywhere close to that money.

Yes the USDM cars can accept the coding to make them work

Same... I'm much more likely to blow the $1500 on the rear taillights with the sequential amber turn signal.

That's good to know. They're a great headlight. Just wish our government could get their heads out of their ass and get with the times.

Considering how long it took the US government to accept non sealed beam headlights, I'd say we're going to have to wait a while...

Wait, this makes it seem like you bought it...or are going to buy it for sure :lol:

I told Vira I might look into the European taillights for her car, but only if I can get them relatively cheap from eBay Germany.

I still have my Euro lights from my S5. I really need to sell those. :lol:

MI Steve has my VCDS tool. It seems we're gonna need that back. :p

So the Mazda...

IS GONE! :eek:

Washed it, vacuumed it Sat. Listed it around 5pm Sat. Showed it off to the first couple at 1pm Sunday, and they bought it for 8k!

I remember the Max trade in quote at 6k, Jeff says it was more...but I feel like this is a win. :cool:

I thought it was $6700. But I just found the offer letter. It was $6500. It's a solid win regardless.

I almost want to see what she could get for my Corvette.

Hopefully everything goes smoothly with this Audi. She's going to have to make some interesting choices if it doesn't. :eek:

She has a perfectly good 3000GT with all season tires on it. I drove my Stealth through a couple of Michigan winters.

Vira is there a reason you don’t drive the vr4? When I didn’t have to worry about kids I drove mine whenever I could?

A couple of reasons.

1. How I feel. When I was going to work, sore/stiff in the morning. I wanted to get in my comfy automatic and go.

2. It's outside and usually dirty.

Sometimes, just lazy. The way the driveway is stacked, it's easier to take the car in back. If I'm just running over to the gas station for lunch, I'm not going to move the Mazda to take the Vr4 out. :eh:

As much as I love my Stealth, my RS is more comfortable to drive on a daily basis...

That being said, I still drive my Stealth to work 1-2 times a week, and sometimes on the weekend.
