This is an intervention.

TCL has suffered enough. Some of the SoCal TCL'ers actually wasted many hours helping him track down and sometimes test drive cars with Vad. So for reference, these are the cars Vad is definitely NOT interested in buying, despite what he tells you otherwise. Do not feed Vad's addiction. Ignore his painful plea for more leads of high mileage used car of questionable history and spotty records.

That's ridiculous.

Wait... What?



Faded and peeling bumpers, hood (you can see the faded spot on the hood) and headlights. No records, CEL on. Three gunmetal wheels, one silver.

Drove so well, though. Pulled hard, handled great. Comfortable and grippy Recaros. Not worth what they're asking though.

Love this forum for the fact that Vad gets "picked on". Keep up all the car lusting. You're a man I live vicariously through...sometimes. :D

Sounds like The Truman Show. I think you've got something.

and you'll get that bumper fixed?
Hopefully. I've never had so much trouble finding a part for a car. Every A8/S8 being parted out has the bumper sold. The first reply is always "Do you have the front bumper?" Used bumper places are all out of stock. It's like these things are made out of gold.

THIS!!!! Not only I'm crossing my fingers that you buy it, But you will get to have your own reality show based around doing menial daily tasks around town.... That is until you get on behnd the well of the S8 and the show is transformed into 60 minutes of Ronin type car chases.....
Show ends when you get home from the adventure style drive to the grocery shop, just to bring home a bag of Whiskas Cat food.... :thumbup:

It's what ever the **** I want to call it, got it?! :laugh:

In that case, we are stopping at Tommys and I'll have two of their egg and cheese sandwiches with pickles and tomato and the starbucks venti $5 "coffee drink" of my choice and lunch.

Larry isn't helping you Vad.

There's a difference between helping Vad and enabling Vad.
I'm here to help...

That Tommy's sandwich sounds good. But for the real deal, you have to procure it from the original hut at Beverly & Rampart. Otherwise, it's just a sandwich.

This is a nightmare. Bumper-damaged S8 owner is apparently upset with my offer and no longer responding.

Black on black S8 is sold. SOLD??!?! WHAT MORON WOULD BUY AN S8 WITH 140K MILES ON IT?!!?
