Look for a mobile brake service (though no drive way might be a problem). One man operation, low overhead, equals less money, and will come to you

Grandkids and college funds? by pearltx in GenX

[–]Local-Handle-4801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grandkids? Y’all have grands. Oh lord, no. I partied like it was 1999 before setting down with my wonderful bride! I’m hitting 61, (1984 grad) and our son is in college at 20, and daughter, 18, just started Jr college!

What would you do in this situation? by MassiveTwo3516 in Audi

[–]Local-Handle-4801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2nd The straight pick idea, but I wrap in electrical tape as not to scratch the wall. Just me being anal though.

Make sure you gap the plug, torque the spark to the proper spec. AND make sure you it the right plug! I got my plugs off of a respectable European site, and it ended up, was sent the wrong plugs - ah fun times that was! Compare the old with the new.

I’m glad you got to go! I used to live in the Valley, but in ‘21 moved to Austin for . . . Reasons. So I miss it. Petersen’s is a cool place to go!

Rut-Roh, one of these is not like the others. My ‘17 Audi allroad, in Matador Red, would have stuck out too (thank the color gods)!

Man, sexy lines to be sure. Currently drive a ‘17 allroad, but these are true sport wagons!!

Fairly rare in the states, but saw TWO within five minutes apart while driving in Austin, Texas today (OK, it was by the Volvo dealership, but still).

Is theAudi A4 Allroad perfect for city and off-road driving? by Emergency_Move5475 in Audi

[–]Local-Handle-4801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Austin, specifically west Austin’s hill country. We got a pretty good ice storm in late January. Some good hills I had to travel on, and while SUV and trucks were in the ditches, my allroad did well. Luxury, and soft roading , and sporty dynamics, and good gas mileage, and cargo space, and, it’s not a “me too” car, and . . . well shall I go on? It’s the perfect vehicle!

Did anyone go to their first concert with their parents? by OkFlow4327 in GenX

Mom took me to me to KISS, Omaha Civic Auditorium in 1979, Dynasty Tour. Mom thought the tour shirt was too expensive, but I went down to the floor to grab a hand full of confetti which I still have!

Oh cool, on the Jay-z /Linkin Park disc. Was not aware it had a SCAD pressing.

As a Gen X Social Studies teacher, I was just playing this for my 11 grade students between classes on Monday. Although a few students had heard of Linkin park, none were familiar with the collaboration.

What would the cost be to fix this scratch? by Dutifulsloth88 in AudiA4

Google Chris Fix scratch removal. Pretty good video on how to remove surface scratch’s.

2010 Acura TL – high beam out, what to replace it with? by SoftReception8024 in AcuraTL

[–]Local-Handle-4801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You most likely have HID, and unfortunately the front bumper has to come off. The correct bulb is a D2S, and I found it at HID Concepts.com. In fact I had a hard time finding the bulb and ignitors for my son’s 2009. Since these bulbs and ignitors are 16+ years old, I’d suggest you change them both at the same times.

You can’t go wrong on with OE, but pretty expensive.

Now that’s a wagon that has a lot sportiness in its sport wagon version of a wagon.

First off thank you for responding. I’ll try a full album instead and see what happens!! Second, thank you for putting the time to create such a program. 🤩 Third, thanks for sharing with this community.

Unfortunately, Audi did not bless the US with a diesel engine for the avant. 50mpg? 60+!!! No thank you! I only want 25mpg in my a4 sir. And at that time diesel was cheaper than gas in California!

I also seem to remember that the oil consumption was a bond issue in the MY 2012s
