Oh are B5 S4 a bitch to work on... I figures the'd be easier that B6s well yeah I'll prolly go B6 A4 and chip it within the first year. Well if it doesn't void the warranty. Do you happen to know if chipping it will void the exteanded warranty??

Thanks for your opinions

There are tons of expenses that go along w/ owning an S4. I know a guy w/ one and our shop works on it. He just finished putting 2k into it for a clutch job... He has already had new turbo's in it and replaced tons of other items. He says that in the years that he has had it he has not been able to keep it for an entire winter because something always breaks. His only has 90k miles... He bought it w/ much lower miles at about $27,000. He is payed very well and can afford it and loves the car but is starting to think he cannot afford to keep it even making 500+ a week. I am just saying you don't have the car owning experience yet to see the costs and I don't either but I have learned from growing up in a mechanic shop all my life but still underestimate it all the time. I should really be driving a civic... lol
