If you find me 18+" Teddies, I would 100% rock them.

Well, its not a miata, thats for sure.
Well, not a regular Miata, more like a special brown one.

To go from that to the RS6, my god. Excellent bait'n'switch on the Missus - looks like a stellar example, too!

Jesus.
Engine bay has me confused. Is the engine so far forward that the turbos sitting on top of the transmission or something?
Thank you, thank you. It's a fine moment in my automotive buying history, but the hidden costs with her are sure to add up over time. I was actually pretty bummed I missed out on the Peruvian Death Trap (in for story time by the way) I think that would have been silly fun to haul kids around in for a year then throw up on BaT.
Yeah, I think I stumbled upon a very clean and well maintained specimen. I barely drove the car or checked it out at all. This was the equivalent of Paul or Blair telling you the other person is selling one of their cars. I'd buy it sight unseen based on their reputation.

i think i've maybe seen 2 of these in the last 10 years, and i'm kind of an audi-phile so i actually keep an eye out for these things. so cool. i seriously hope the boost fever overpowers any pain of working on it.

yerp. the entire block is way out ahead of the front axle line, which is why these old audis get the reputation for handling a bit...pushy. the turbahs are nestled up under the V of the block on each side, just ahead of the axles near the bellhousing. see exhibit A:
I will most certainly make that an event with lots of cameras to capture the fun or flames.
Yeah, I'm with you, 850 came to the states and a few more for the rest of NA and I've had maybe a couple of sightings since their release, but now I'm starting to figure out why. Between the two guys involved with this car, they own 1.2% of all the state cars.
Thanks for grabbing that photo, that guy's site www.audirssix.com is a great resource.
