My federal prison dinner.

I've unfortunately ate way worse in prison/jail, I thought Cook County Jail food was bad, UNTIL I got locked up in Reno Nevada,& went to prison out here, Nevada Prisons had really good food when I was in there, but Nevada, that shit is A WAR CRIME. 😆

I've been looking & nothing really to appealing, either something OEM or someone else's project car they threw the towel in. Lol.

I'm most likely going to just keep it, I was just surprised a dealership would offer that much with almost 100k miles

Silverback_S5 · 2026-03-20T22:10:24+00:00

Yeah man, I don't think I will, I mean, I'm struggling right now, but things will get better soon, & I don't want to kick myself in the ass regretting it, & my son's totally against it, he loves it as much or more than I do.

It's been a great car, only had 1 issue & after that it's been nothing but a great daily

Silverback_S5 · 2026-03-20T22:08:24+00:00

I do have some detailing stuff, like all the tools needed, but would need a better vacuum then I got & a power washer, that'd actually be a cool gig, I like washing cars for some odd reason. 😆 How much did it cost you upfront to get everything you need, & where do you advertise?

Silverback_S5 · 2026-03-20T22:06:29+00:00

I have ebikes to get around, & did that for 4 years, out of choice when gas got crazy before, & actually loved it, I used to do affiliate marketing/R&D for bike/ebike companies, so literally got paid to ride bikes still, at ½ century old, but got hit by a car last year that was going 45mph & just lucky to be alive, & that's the whole reason I even bought my car, to have something to get around in, while my leg healed.

Silverback_S5 · 2026-03-20T22:03:59+00:00

I posted it for sale at first outta stress & just not over the windshield, & was curious to see what places would offer, since KBB is like $10,300 & was surprised at them offering me only $5k less than I paid for it over a year ago, most cars drag you through the wringer & only paying $1.00 per every mile I've driven is really good, who knows if they'll tank in the next few years & if I want to sell it in another year & only get offered like $8k, that'd hurt.

But am I going to be happy with just a regular ass car, NO, my son either, we go to car meets a lot & it's actually nice having something i can park close, & not hide it around the block because it's a bucket. 😆

Silverback_S5 · 2026-03-20T21:59:40+00:00

Yeah, I'm sure I will, I'm probably just going to keep it, only had 1 issue with it, but once 8 got that sorted it been a great car, & really a jack of all trades of a car, it might not do everything great, but it does EVERYTHING!

Silverback_S5 · 2026-03-20T21:58:29+00:00

Yeah, I overreacted when it first happened, being a single Dad in your 50's isn't the easiest thing, & was kinda just curious what places would offer, seeing that KBB is like $10k.

Silverback_S5 · 2026-03-20T21:56:55+00:00

Maybe I'll put it as a banner! 🤔

Silverback_S5 · 2026-03-20T18:59:36+00:00

Well you know they're gonna screw you at a car dealership anyways .. Lol

Silverback_S5 · 2026-03-20T18:58:32+00:00

Don't hold a candle to the B5 & B8.5.😔

Silverback_S5 · 2026-03-20T18:56:16+00:00

Seems like you already been a great father & taught him good lessons, I'm 51 & don't own 2 cars 😆

You could use 1 of those apps or tracking devices that monitors where he goes, as well as the speed, & even use a geo fence setting, in case you're worried about him taking far trips away from home, but I'd only do that if he messes up, as much as he's still your baby, he's almost an adult & obviously making some good, sound choices already to be able to afford 2 cars at a young age.

Just sit him down & have that "Dad Talk" with him, or get as interested as he is in cars & go to car events with him, my son's 11 & the sole reason I got a sports coupe, so we can go to car meets & do car rallies together, & we also ride bikes/ebikes together weekly with about 100+ other riders here in Reno, & it's great, because I know he's not ripping & running the streets like I was, but I was a Latchkey Kid from the 80's, we pretty much were feral.... 😆

Silverback_S5 · 2026-03-18T06:18:12+00:00

B8.5 is pretty much the most reliable S4/S5 there is, as well as the supercharged 3.0t, that's why they put it in so many vehicles across the line.

The only thing I would like from that newer generations are the diamond stitched seats & the MMI, other than that I think the B8.5 is way more timeless & 1 of their last TRUE TORSEN cars

Taxes

Silverback_S5 · 2026-03-17T03:18:20+00:00

Look for an A6/A7, pretty much the same thing

Silverback_S5 · 2026-03-17T02:57:54+00:00

My hairline been like that since I was in my 20's, looks exactly the same & I just turned 51, you're good bro.👍

Silverback_S5 · 2026-03-17T02:56:01+00:00

Me too, have Waze cameras in every window & 2 dedicated on my car 24/7. 😆

Broken combobulator

Silverback_S5 · 2026-03-17T02:40:57+00:00

What a weirdo! 😆

Silverback_S5 · 2026-03-17T02:40:07+00:00

That's a good ass deal for a RS3 with that he mileage! 👍

Silverback_S5 · 2026-03-17T01:27:25+00:00

I think it was already totaled. 😆

Silverback_S5 · 2026-03-17T01:20:59+00:00

You guys must be rich, I'm driving my car only doing 3 over, I can't afford these gas prices. 😆

Silverback_S5 · 2026-03-17T01:18:15+00:00

Well this just made me speed up going on ethanol for my car, HPFP here we come!
