    Put My Big Boy Pants On!

    The outside look of a BMW or an AMG Merc is fierce, Audi's always have the front wheels set back a ways due to the Quattro design. When it comes to exteriors, Audi sticks 97% into headlight updates and the rest elsewhere haha, however their diesels do kick the crap out of the rest, although now...

    Put My Big Boy Pants On!

    Yes and no, the resources are out there but it's a small market so it's expensive. Plus the 8 spd tiptronic can't handle a lot of excess torque. Here's a video of one with a few mods and a manual. https://youtu.be/zgO7Z7IoS24 Sent from my SM-N910R4 using Tapatalk

    Put My Big Boy Pants On!

    Upgraded to a bigger & much nicer TDI yesterday. Audi A6 Quattro TDI Prestige. For the non-VAG folk, the A6, A7, A8L and Q5 have all been offered with a 3.0L V6 TDI (240hp/428lb-ft) since 2014MY in the US, the Q7 has had it available since 09. Yes these are all a part of "dieselgate" and...

    Another Healthy Living Thread

    Sorry, haven't been on for awhile and just saw this. Here is one study worth the read on the declining rate of cancer. http://m.cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/69/16/6500.long Why do you feel a "GMO" doesn't provide the nutrients an "Organic" crop can? The above question cannot be...

    Show off your box!!!!

    J83 yours is kind of the EPIQ version of my KRL lol. I didn't like the EPIQ at first but it's grown on me. I need to make a spacer for my SS top so it sits as high as a 1000 Series. The hutch is a little low for my 6'2". Plus the locker will hang at the right height then. Not sure what to...

    The rules are definitely not in favor of diesel. Diesels make a lot of NOx, no way around that, lean burn with high temps and pressure means high efficiency and high NOx. Europe has separate rules for diesels. A few people at the track day yesterday saw the humor in my artwork lol...

    German invasion.

    Family's farm. Speaking of Germans, had another track day yesterday. Second time I've done one, what a blast. The TDI actually seems fast on a road course, hangs with a lot of big cars in the corners with all the torque, but they all fly by me on the straight lol. Had to cut out of the...

    German invasion.

    Yes that's what we're doing in that picture, opening the field up, the reason we have two tractors next to each other like that is because it takes more than one wagon to get it opened. With 8 row or larger heads you can pass each other like that and avoid having to cut little circles for...

    Yeah the rotary heads can be intimidating, and the power they have or the fact their job is to chop everything into 19mm pieces. Fendts have been great, the big one (930) has over 2k hrs now, bought it new two years ago. Only had to fix it twice, once for a DEF issue and once for a small...

    The EPA can try a lot of things if we continue to allow it. They are all about control, more people need to stand up to them. Sent from my SM-N910R4 using Tapatalk

    11% isn't bad IMO for how new it is and the number of people that still don't want a diesel. VWs TDIs are 25% of their sales. Sent from my SM-N910R4 using Tapatalk

    TDIs are a blast to drive, huge torque from 1700 up. They don't win drag races but in daily traffic they are tons of fun. Reading the comments around the Web, actual VW owners still seem fairly supportive overall and wouldn't change brands. Sent from my SM-N910R4 using Tapatalk

    Since it has SCR, mileage may stay decent but DEF usage may climb. Sent from my SM-N910R4 using Tapatalk

    Wow this thread is a trip down memory lane lol. I joined the BS when I bought mine in 07. Learned a lot from too many guys to really name them all, both on here, on the phone and in person. Still get help from enough of them today or just bullshit on the phone. The whole family atmosphere...

    I sense it will sell a couple cruze diesels but not a ton. The cars are still pretty different. For one the cruze doesn't offer a manual with the diesel. Then there's the fact it's a GM product. At the end of the day a lot of people buy cars because they like them. The ones that like the VW...
