Love my 2013 A4 allroad.. No engine mods or tune so it's still slow, 212k miles+, h&r coilovers, 034 control arms and rear sway bar, a few drivetrain inserts from jxb.. incoming mods include RS 5 brakes and girodiscs and 19" Enkeis because my current 18s didnt clear the setup 😔

So in 1969, one of my best friends found a 1941 Ford woodie in a barn on Cape Cod in Chatham. We spent the winter restoring it and late May of 1970 we strapped 2 surfboards on the roof and drove from Cape Cod to Huntington Beach CA. Flathead 8, 3 speed on the column and no synchro the ride had its moments of peril, especially crossing the Rockies. Long story short, we put a for sale sign on the car in the front yard of the apt we rented for the summer and sold it for a profit of $2000, enough to spend the summer surfing, 2 plane tickets home and enjoying the west coast. In Sept I went back to college and my friend to Viet Nam. Thank God he survived, and I finished school as well. This picture is not the actual but a very good example, similar color.



Flash forward 56 years, still have a soft spot for wagons, here’s my current ride

The fake wood sides always added a "touch of class". Haha

Does anyone know why the British slang for station wagons is "shooting brake"?

Hear me out. At first I was not a fan. The looks grew on me, I would get black and the technology is dope to me. I know it’s heavy but in retrospect a light wagon isn’t really a selling point. I rather keep the V-8!

(S)he is a trooper and a looker, I mean leaker 😅. 173k in the odometer, but is starting to need some attention. Valve cover gasket and something else is leaking oil, but it’s “only” less than a quart per OCI…. In BMW speak - it’s normal 😂.

For the BMW black is the only "color' to get as it hides the looks and lines better.
Still, you can't fix ugly.
