Sorry, but I just have to say the B5 is a styling milestone.

Iconic no doubt, & ur one is in nice condition too.
I bought an B8 to replace my B5, but I simply cannot let go of it, and decided to keep both till the very end.

You have a C172? I liked flying those, but scared the crap out of a friend one time when I rented one, assumed it had fuel, and miles from the airport saw the gauges on Empty. Poor guy was crying and thought he was going to die.

I bought one to learn in when I was taking flying lessons. Them gauges are awful, not to mention the radio. I dont blame your friend. I did a cross country, and both my compass and radio broke, I was flying round and round at 600ft trying to find a landmark I recognized so I could get back home. But I still love flying them. Im comfortable in them.

agree, my B5 is now 15years old but still love it! It truly is a style icon, I'm going to keep it as long as I can.

Me too, that Audi is my first car, I'm 20 years old and to me is like a trophy of all my hard work since no one helped me to buy it.. I bought it when I was 19, I was wondering.. Your Audi is a 2.8L, right?

Mine's an early issue (5/95) 12V, fixed valve timing engine. The 30V makes about 10% more power and with a better torque curve, but this one still gets the job done, now at 242,000 miles on OE engine and ZF auto. Here's a somewhat out-of-focus shot from the other evening, parked at a house that we just bought. You can just make out the distinctive '96 wide license plate recess on the trunk. One good thing about driving an almost 19-year old Audi- car payment money goes to property value instead.

It looks like new, the only Audi 2.8 from this year that I've seen around here where I live (Puerto Rico) is mine, all other audi b5 model that I have seen are 1.8T never the 2.8.. And I like the wide license plate recess, I'm about to buy a trunk lid just so I can add the European license plate, In my opinion it looks better with the European license plate
