Hah, I have similar experiences. I have a 2.5 in a 1993 Eurovan pushing close to 200k and still runs great. The one Audi I owned (04 S4) was also a debt machine. Nicest car I have ever owned while at the same time being the biggest POS.

I'm really looking forward to seeing and hearing Frank's car run. VR6 turbos all sound incredible.
