The last post on that thread was 5 years ago. This build up was the main reason I was skeptical in purchasing an RS4, but I also consider it the best purchase of my automobile life, and the only car I've bought twice. For reference, the cars I've had to compare the driving and ownership...

I'm on my second RS4, and out of the 40+ cars I've had in my life it is hands down my favorite. The carbon build up issue is overblown; it's present but not as big of a deal as some make it out to be. Every 20,000 miles or so is the going average among forum participants. That's been my...

Used. First a 2003, then a 2006 and finally the 2008. The 2008 was the 570 and I broke even on it only because I didn't have it very long. They aren't as sought after as the 470's. For the most part the 470's are still very high demand; especially overseas. There are a lot of them that get...

I've owned two LX470's as well as an LX570. These things are tanks, and I loved all of them. Yes, they are a trumped up Land Cruiser, but the utility, reliability, and exclusivity combined are unmatched. I couldn't recommend them more. Never lost money on one either. Very high demand and...

I had issues with this in the past also. I would point you back to your original comment of speaking with someone about it. There's no shame in it and it certainly isn't going to make your commute worse. That's the route I took and it helped. In case you're extremely averse to that, here is...

Looks like that could be the case. Love COTA also, but I grew up around IMS. Been beatin the pavement in Gasoline Alley since I could walk. Just wish there were more races there, and of course, when they acquire races I wish they'd stop losing them!

I'm more disappointed for the Speedway losing another venue than for Moto GP, but regardless it's not welcoming news. MotoGP Will Not Return to IMS in 2016 September 11, 2015 | By IMS Following eight years of delivering world class motorcycle racing, the Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix will...

Received a call from my Skip Barber contact yesterday. They have canceled the Mid-Ohio 3-Day Racing School for this weekend. Said there were a lot of accidents at the prior event, and they couldn't get the cars back together in time. A bit odd, but I opted to reschedule for Laguna Seca this...

I'm sure your son will remember that for the rest of his life. Well done, Dad! Woot!

Another shoe in the family!? Excellent. I think it was another $600 for $4,000 max out of pocket deductible. I included that in the purchase. Should've noted that. I decided to get a GoPro also. They said they're very common there as I expected. Wanted the whole thing on video to...

Thanks, gentlemen. I hear an astounding amount of positive feedback in regards to this school. I'm hoping to get as much experience out of it as I can. I'd like to pursue the advanced courses following this one, and maybe look into race weekends or lapping sessions as well. Is it as 'show...

I did a search on this but it has been several years since any new threads have been posted. I recently signed up for the 3-Day Racing School (in the Formula cars) at Mid-Ohio for this coming August 28th-30th. I'm 36 and the extent of my driving experience is limited to numerous high...

Fellow Primers et al, At 10am on May 9th we'll be meeting in Columbus, Indiana for a 114 mile drive through Bartholomew, Brown, and Monroe Counties. I have driven all but one of these roads and will ensure I proof-drive all of them and investigate for potholes and/or construction prior to the...

I'll second that. Brian there is a super nice guy, and everyone at Gator knows their stuff. Top notch guys (and gals). It's off of 465 and Michigan Road.

Don't marry that dirty, filthy "woman" (Prime-Approved Language). That is all!
