The salt flows within me.. my 64 Mercedes 220s Fintail ruined my attitude with OE parts..

Drove it in to the local MB dealership, they could order 100% of the parts on the car, glass included, all rubber seals, interior foam, headliner.. didn't matter.. hell I even got an original all metal air cleaner enclosure for the twin carbs.

It cost an arm and a leg but they had em.. left a bad taste in my mouth about Audi/VW and their "10 year part support" bullskibby..

Who daily drives their 80's Audi? Who keeps them as a collectible? - Avant-Rene 2018-02-19 08:08:14 (255 views)
- Both my daily's are from the 80's - inarisilber 2018-02-21 06:31:56 (201 views)
- Have DD'd plenty of them in the past, but not anymore. B2's are both on collector plates now - alxdgr8 2018-02-20 10:48:25 (164 views)
- I used to daily by 83 CGT for years - maxh2o 2018-02-20 08:15:24 (168 views)
- Both. The '86 4kq is my 50% daily splitting duty with the 540iT. The UrQ is a garage queen. - msvphoto 2018-02-20 06:44:35 (150 views)
- I drive mine often, but not as a daily. also have too many other cars to do so! - onlyaudis 2018-02-20 05:44:37 (156 views)
- Neither really but somewhere in between - 4x5x5 2018-02-20 03:21:40 (171 views)

    - I always approach R8 owners and say 'You leased this car RIGHT?' - stevenmurray 2018-02-19 11:30:35 (226 views)
      - Folks who can fork out $100K should be fine! There are more R8's out there than UrQs   -  4x5x5  2018-02-20 03:16:02 (142 views)
        
        URQ must have been equivalent to today's $100K. We ain't fine.  -  stevenmurray  2018-02-20 03:50:42 (193 views)
        
        CPI adjustment since 1983 is ~2.45 x so no. But sell the UrQ and you will be fine too.   -  4x5x5  2018-02-20 11:20:07 (126 views)
        
        R8 owners must love meeting folks who tell them they should've purchased another car or leased  -  Pre95  2018-02-20 05:55:33 (168 views)
        
        prices are starting to finally drop on first gen early R8's. ownership cost, not so much   -  onlyaudis  2018-02-20 06:48:04 (192 views)
        
        Pretty sure it "made no sense" for all. Supercars and "sense" are only close in Websters   -  4x5x5  2018-02-20 11:23:25 (132 views)
        
        I'm not saying it's a good car to buy, but telling folks that already have isn't very nice lol  -  Pre95  2018-02-20 09:44:07 (172 views)
        
        I'm just getting them to start a conversation with the dealership.  -  stevenmurray  2018-02-20 19:25:25 (172 views)
- I still daily my ur-q. What I've told people when they ask about part availability: - Pre95 2018-02-19 08:49:25 (248 views)
  - I got a replacement windshield for the coupe from Safelite! - Garzilla McQueen 2018-02-21 06:23:37 (159 views)
