    Just bad luck. If it had happened after taking it off the lot with close to zero miles on it, Id really be complaining

    its the wolfburg with the nice rims, better sound system, nicer seats (they call them racing seats, not full out racing seats but comfy and it holds you in your seat.) i use to borrow it from my sister and do her oilchanges. i would tell her that when i do the oil i needed the car fro the whole weekend. lol just so then i could drive it. its a fun and awesome car.

    My friend Cam is the German Car Killa. Since 1998 he has had a Porsche 928, Porsche 944t, Audi 5000, 2x Audi 4000's and they are all dead in his driveway or at his moms house :) The sorry bastard just purchased another Audi 4000 to kill. Man he must really like those cars to put up with so many problems. The good news is he probably has enough spare parts to keep one of the 4000's running forever :D
