4.2L V8 FSI. This one from a 2008 Audi A6, but found in anything from S4's to Q7's. Loads of fun. Had a broken valve spring and 2 bad tensioners on 2 different chains (4 chains total). Quick and easy way to spend $8,000.
That must be $12K at a dealer

Yamaha - "Let's make a couple bad timing chains"

Audi - "Hah. We'll make millions of them. And overengineer the hell out of them. And make parts absurdly expensive. And we'll put them on the backside of the engine to make your life hell trying to change them. Ze germans always win!"

If that's only the v8 I can't imagine what the W12 motor looks like from that angle and what could go wrong with it.

You do realize, @mrmeaniemeateaterman , that it's common courtesy to provide links to where you can obtain items in the mod list in your signature. I, for one, would love to purchase the "Hot Doctor Wife" mod for my boat. Can I amazon that? Where can I get it?

Saw this on the way how from dropping my new too me Pwc at the shop. No idea where it was being towed to, nowhere near any water or a boat ramp big enough to launch from. Serious towing when it takes a tractor trailer and two escort vehicles.

We are at the majestic !! Its not done and they are rushing things! Tile work, grouting, landscaping all a bit rough. Today is our first day so we're wandering. Awesome staff. Bars open before the shops!!

3 restaurants have a dress code fyi. We have access to all 3 resorts..you should too

Weather in march should be fantastic for you!

The room next to ours flooded hard! Its trying to seep into our room...we have a towell dam built up!!

We're here with some hardcore friends fron NH. They're lovin the weather

Thanks @BigN8 ! Love my Falcons. It's kind of a long story, but buddy of mine used to play in the NFL and he got us hooked up with a suite at the stadium. It was awesome.

IMG_3437.JPG Was sitting in traffic this evening and caught this out of the corner of my eye laying in the landscaped median. Not your average S Florida road kill!
