Guess why we never had the 2004 RS6 and the plus in the USA?

[DHall1]

Ditto for C6 RS6.

Ever wonder why we kept getting the 2003 RS6 well into 2004 and we never got the 2004 RS6 and the plus?

Hmmmm

We can only thank Al Gore and his band of raving idiots at the EPA.

Returnless fuel systems were mandated in 2004. The same stupid system that the Mercedes E55 owners are having a hell of a time with and gas leaks are pouring out of every seal in the gas tank. Including my E55.

Read up on it.

Audi said no way to the redesign on the RS6 and sold as many 03s as they could then stopped USA sales of the RS6.

Same reason we didnt get the C6 RS6.

Made my day. Some government green suit at the EPA decided to mandate a stupid fuel delivery change and make all cars comply. The same guy that wants to tap CO2 sensors on our homes, cars, shops, stores, factories, pigs a$$es....you get the idea.

Hey, at least we don't have to worry about man-bear-pig

[DHall1]

Yeah, until he starts up the CCX and starts charging carbon credits to every business in the country.

Did you get those logs yet?

[DHall1]

Actually that is a good point. I may dump the E55 and trade for another RS6 while they are still avail. Hmmmm

[V8weight]

Well, we can't have the Henry's buying fancy Audi's when they have a country to support. Just get in your Impala and keep paying. On a related note, I believe you've hit this nail on the head.

"We The People" Will be assimilated! Resistance is futile. The America you know and love is gone and in 50 years you wont recognize her. Out with the old and in with the new. Your small pockets of resistance will prove insignificant against the machine. The revolution has happened and we lost. We cant fight those who protect this Nation against all threats Foreign and Domestic. I mean when American companies are no longer owned by Americans, and there is a forum for RS6 owners some who paid 90K for their cars You have been assimilated. Even if I buy the new JGCSRT8 its owned by Fiat. So I get a gas guzzler (Resistance) but I'm supporting Italy's Economy. It is done. You can complain, but no one is listening.

59 days till November 2nd.........

[DHall1]

I agree with the 59 days but is there really any choice. As Willie has noted, we are well down the road to serfdom. Fannie and Freddie own over 95% of all private mortgages. And how did Fannie and Freddie get to this ownership? Printed FIAT money. And who owns F/F? Mr Green suit.

You cant go up against printed FIAT money.

Willie-I know you know about Allen West. Is he for real? Can he make a difference?

We can be happy about one thing. At least we have the C5 RS6 so keep the shiny side up.

Why can't we keep the politics out of this forum.

[DHall1]

When its the government mandates that keep us from having the performance vehicles from Audi we crave. I found it funny that I stumbled on this little known fuel EPA mandate. Sorry it got switched to the current economy and state of housing in this country. I made it a point not to bash any particular side just bring up the EPA and the stupid returnless design. People are sure touchy around here. geez

[DHall1]

This?

You mean the EPA fuel return line mandate?

I found this thread from back in 04. The third reply makes a comment about the emission change but not exactly the reason.

I am always intrigued when someone asks this question.

I have found that the folks on this forum are pretty intelligent and up to date on many issues. Also as Car Fans are somewhat like minded. So why not have a political discussion among FRIENDS???

It's the bury one's head in the sand approach that lead to Obama being elected!

"Can't we just get along and not talk politics on this site?" That's usually the montra of a leftist who strikes down alternative viewpoints simply by stopping the dialogue. "I won. No more discussion on this or that topic" Sound Familiar?

I for one think a political conversation among those who frequent this forum would be VERY INTERESTING! Especially from our colleagues who are not in the US!

How's that European Socialism working out for you?

I challenge anyone on policy debate, economics, business models, finance, cash, bonds, securities....ect. Bring it on folks. Those that want Americans to keep their heads in the sand are about to meet some resistance. Win or lose there will be an educated debate even if MSM wants to keep us all dumb. What I dont know....I know who to call.

But just as Benman has pointed out....this is a private space and we need to obey the laws in this space. So I will obey but I dont see how talking about the EPA or Fannie Mae is "politics" . Who knows. Its just funny that the green suits actually stopped the RS6 imports. Nice to know that fact.

Its so true its funny. No qualifications at all. Brilliant.

Blatant falshoods? Surgeons making 50k to cut off feet? Try 1,500 and that includes pre and post op care visits.

Nope, fully qualified.

The one thing that I have seen in 20 years of service and 6 deployments is that it does not matter who we vote for, when they get in office they either conform or they get castrated. Allen West is another guy who says all the right things then gets elected goes to Washington and is assimilated into the machine that is American Politics. Nov 2nd will come we will vote for those who we think will change things, they will go to Congress and be told how to play ball and they will conform. 1989 Under Bush 1 I was sent to Panama, Under Clinton I was sent to Haiti twice, and Iraq, Under Bush 2, I was sent to Iraq twice, and now Obama will have us in Afghanistan for God knows how long. Dems are not suppose to be War Fighters but under each Dem I was sent to Iraq. Rep are not suppose to raise taxes but Bush 1 did that and Bush 2 just sold the damn farm. So like I said it doesn't matter who is in office, they all play by the same rules. No one person can change our political climate in America.
