You can buy so many e30s with that!

What kind of reserve did they want to put on it?

$9500. I get it, they don't make money unless cars meet reserve and sell, so nothing against them for wanting to be favorable to their side. While I think it would do better than that, as with any auction if it's an off day I could get stuck holding the bag if it just barely met reserve. They were fine to put it on the side and said just let them know if I decide to do it, so I figure I'll make a go at it in other places and see what happens.

I lolled at all the comments on 500+ hp facebooks forums. Reconvinced me to never touch the VAG.

Oh, don't let them scare you, it's not so bad. We all float down here...

Car is sold, pending pickup tomorrow. Guy is coming down from somewhere in nova and wants to stay for the car show if his time allows.

I am

Don't answer if you don't want to. Did you meet or exceed the BaT reserve?

[Senor_Taylor]

Thank Jesus. I'm so glad that thing is gone.

It is selling for 13, so while it maybe be the weakest RJ MoneyShot[emoji769] ever once I give the bank their dues, I was able to spend a year and a half with one of my halo cars and escape with out having to spend years in therapy using a hotwheeel to show Dr. Neckarsulm how the Audi touched me.

I am going to miss the sounds and acceleration dearly though.

that's honestly the best possible outcome any audi fan/owner can hope for. you done good.

between you, Jake, Lee, Chris etc owning rare/exotic/super pricey to maintain cars and making it out with your soul intact, MM's got a pretty impressive record of skirting danger.

Survivor bias. There are plenty of us who have been burned. Easily enough to even it out.

On the other end, its probably cost me more to own my E91 than Dave's RS6.

What kind of rare/exotic/nice cars have you owned? E30s and miatas need not apply.

If anything happens after you said this, it's your fault.

That's a ton of car for $13k.  I'm a bit sad to see it go but glad you escaped unscathed.

Next up on the achievable halo list?

Would you believe me if I said I already got it? A 2007 Ford Explorer, Eddie Bauer Edition of course, with bad cam phasers. Whooobaby

shit, forgot to call no whammies.

burned by actual rare car ownership? old shitty cars or unreliable common performance cars don't apply. genuinely curious who's been totally duped by owning a used exotic/rare car.

that's super depressing but also we told you to stahp chasing the manual dragon for a new BMW or you'd shoot your eye out

Last shot?

Disappointed to not have gotten a ride but quite pleased you never humbled me on the highway. Pour one out for the new owner.
