Default Got a new beater; my first import
...actually, I guess my Catera is made by Opel, not Cadillac... but close enough. I got a good deal on a very clean Audi A4 Quattro. 1.8 litres seem rediculously small, even though they come with a snail.

...any Audi people know how far I can turn up the boost on it safely? Anyone know what tech forum the Audi guys use most?

So you can only put dwarfs in the back seat?

Nice purchase though.

No doubt. the Supra has more back seat than your Audi! Have fun with it though, I've always been curious about those cars.
