That is when you want your money to make you money...
So, projects like the RS6, despite how much we all love them,. and we do, we just want more bang for our buck, so to speak.

AND, being the internet, you don't know who is who, and you feel compelled to share your experiences, just in case that "someone" is just like you...AGAIN, I had the same vision as you, and when I moved forward with my manual swap, and had the engine out for the 3rd time or so, I started looking at what it would take to get to my goal (same as yours), I said screw it, I thought it would be too much work and time, and I found a different "project". I truly wish you good luck, as clearly it CAN be done. I don't have the patience anymore...
Interesting insight thanks for sharing. Ill be sure to keep that in mind.
And yea I actually 100% agree with it being "foolish spending." Its a hobby that I even stop for almost two years(just to see)... couldn't do it, I like diving in and messing with things.

Time and money seems to be the main issues for us all.For me as long as it doesn't constrict my life I'm ok with it. I mean it may seem like I spend a lot of money and time but last year we went 6+ trips, 1 of which is across the world(Norway), Pretty sure were in the 15+ trips in the past 3 years .
