Well,

I finally found/took a photo of my "winter" or other car that I have when i'm either working on my Accord or during winter months...

I have had it for about a year now overall and just do basic maintenance on it to keep it running. Sold my jeep and bought this thing for $4k and since then have replaced:

- Cam tensioner seals
- Valve cover gaskets
- Oil seals
- Control arm kit
- Axle
- Tires
- Spark plugs
- Exhaust work
- Tie rod and alignment

Alot of the work was done with a buddy of mine at the shop he works at so basically the cost of parts only which is nice, and it's a lot of fun to work on!

1999.5 (B5) Audi A4 v6 Quattro Sedan

Not a bad alternative to the Accord.

Keeping it stock for the most part?

Thanks! Yeah it's definitely fun to drive in the snow, and a fun alternative.

I want to mod it, but since it's got 188/189k miles on it, not really worth it power wise unless I go twin turbo and that's too much money. I'd rather just keep it running in prestine condition and spend the money on the Accord where I've made real progress in though.

Hence why I stuck with the 2.8L instead of the 1.8t (less options to modify the car).
