What do you drive?

[sfcootz]

A good rig with a stick is hard to find these days. My dad and I flew to Denver to get an Audi sedan with a stick for my mom. Was apparently the closest one with the setup she wanted.

I drive an A4 Avant with a 6 speed. I got lucky and found it in Albany. Coming from a truck I love the utility of a wagon. Besides, a slightly lowered sleeper wagon is BA!

This car is a torque beast. I'm debating whether to lift it slightly. I have a long dirt road to my house and an extra inch or two of clearance would be nice.

I gotta wonder if that's possible with a newer front driver.

Is the '73 stock? I've had a '76 for decades and have just about finished body off restore of it. Ever heard of Ih8mud?

That could be fun! My avant is on sports suspension so it's low. I scrape muflaps on everything. They are my early warning system.

You mean the 72?, not really stock. Bought it with a v8 (350) conversion and a t350 tranny. Not happy with that combo and will change to something else in the future.

Yes, been a member of mud forever, thumper is my name there.

Either I fat fingered 73 or I just can't read. Both might be true too.

I sent you a message over there with a build thread link on mine.

that's my problem. We have a lot of twisty roads and I enjoy driving in a "spirited" manner. Scrape, scrape, scrape. I still love the car.

Go figure....where there's a will.....
I had a '73 Chevy Vega Wagon....GT! Back in the 80's. Those cars sat pretty low, so you had to watch where you drove, but I never gave driving down a dirt road a second thought.
Drove it out to a remote lookout near Hurricane Ridge. Rough dirt road, but "Red Rover" made it down and back with no problems.
Hell, I lived in that thing during the spring and summer of '86!
I had a 1980 diesel rabbit after that. Used to take it hunting out in Dewatto every fall....discovered the "trick" of BACKING up a moss covered dirt road, when its a steep incline.
....front drivers. Gotta think in the other direction sometimes.
Good luck with the lift kit.

[JamesG]

What motor do you have in it? looks like that picture was taken down by Pt D. I live not far from there so will keep my eye out for your car.

 

[Red98422]

It's a 350/350 combo, I currently live down around NE Tacoma across the bay from Pt. D

For daily driving a slightly lifted (1.75") Tesla Model Y performance: 0 - 60 in 3.5 seconds. For heading into the woods a 1992 Blazer I bought new in '92, modified with an L94 (LS truck motor) and 6L80 trans. 450 HP. 12 bolt rear end with a TrueTrac differential. 8000# winch. I used to think my truck was fast until I got the Tesla, LOL. Next up is a Cybertruck I think.
