yea, so what!
my wife picked it...it's desert sunset or some such crap...
it looks ok in person

but I don't care about that stuff...I lived in a 10x12 cabin in the AK bush for 2 years w/o power or running water and shytting in a bucket

it is a nice home though, designed by a local architect for a family member who passed on...got it for a steal

super efficient too...all energy bills average 120/month
heating/cooling/cooking/lighting/clothes washing/etc.
everything 120/month
taxes ~2k annually

I can live with pink

I hear you can use Rusoleum to repaint your house, should you grow tired of the pink... at least, that's the rumor.



Beautiful car!

Nice car, super clean!

I've got an '07 A4 2.0T... I know *exactly* what you mean when you say the Audi feels "silly light" when it comes to the controls after driving the 951!

just bought some wheels: should be here on Tue, my B-Day
ebay Cup 1, 17's 7.5/9 23/15 ET
Sumitomo 225/45/17 255/40/17
oem valve stems

next, some sort of suspension upgrade, maybe the Koni cup set (Paragon)
my issue, I only want very mild lowering 0.75/0.5...

side note: wide open toll road, no traffic...5200 in 5th, uphill, and still pulling...very low RH, ~65 F
didn't look at the speedo, but figuring ~140 or so...0.6 to 0.7 bar boost or so
rock solid, no wander, no shake or vibration...
amazing...
