Default Ugh.. Money Pit

Seriously, someone here has a signature I've seen, Audi's are like women, you gotta through money at them for them to work, or something like that. So I dumped 1700 into fixing my clutch, I get home, I still have a vaccum leak and then one of my HID's goes out. Ugh, it's like being hit on the head with a brick.

You know though what makes this all suck is what I just spent modding the car only to have to dump the same amount like two weeks later into fixing the car.

Is it me, or do mods just invoke the spirits of disaster?

Mods definitely invoke spirits of disaster.

I ended up spending all the money I had saved for mods on maintenance. Luckily stuff broke before I could do any modding.

This is kind of how I always feel. It's always something else, isn't it?

But at the end of the day, the B5 looks so damn good.

Yeah I'm rapidly approaching the purchase price of the car spent in maintenance/mods. I knew the sig was appropriate lol
