B&B, I'm listening.
I'm still relatively new to this place, and I am trying to pay attention to your comments. Several folks last week were bothered by my rather cavalier use of the term "Crapwagon" for decidedly non-crappy cars. So, we have a new title for those better cars I find while I'm supposed to be doing my day job: "Digestible Collectible." I hope to bring both a Crapwagon and a Digestible Collectible to you every week, until the Internet runs out of interesting cars.
This week, a particularly digestible collectible comes to us from Ingolstadt, by way of Houston. Naturally, I'm in love with hot wagons, and those from Audi are among the best. Like this B6-series S4 Avant.
I know that Audi maintenance and repairs are, at best, headaches, and that parts prices could mean community college for my children. I don't care. A basic family sedan/wagon has absolutely no business looking as good as an S-labeled Audi does. The moderately-flared fenders riding right over a fat set of performance tires is alluring to this minivan driver. A twin-turbo V8, six-speed manual, and quattro all-wheel-drive mean I can have fun after dropping the kids off at volleyball practice.
Oh, since I live in an area without smog checks, I might consider yanking the cats:
The pearl yellow paint isn't necessarily my style, as I tend to prefer more neutral hues, but it looks appealing against the dark wheels and window tint. With an ask of $14,350, I can't imagine any family car being more fun for the price — even allowing for maintenance costs.
