(now parked)
This car has been my daily driver to and from work (11miles each way). Occasional spirited driving when coming home from work, no dogging of car, drag racing, track racing, etc. This is my baby. I have babied this car and fixed every little thing you can imagine so far since I got it. The service and documentation above speaks for itself. The cars paint is a 8.5/10, minor scratches here and there nothing significant and of course a couple tiny dings which is normal for a 12 year old vehicle. Waxed every 3 months and clayed every 6. You will see when you come see the car. I am a passionate vw enthusiast and this was going to be my last project car now that I have a family to support. I've been blessed with having a new child coming 6/18/2012 at 730am and I must sell this car being the time,money,work it takes to maintain this caliber of a vehicle. I must devote these efforts to my family and I'm sure most of you will understand. I do not have to sell the car but it is the right thing to do.
-Awesome stage 3 set up
-Runs hard.
-Exterior looks GREAT
-Very good mechanical shape.
GARAGE KEPT since DAY ONE 10/2009 has MAYBE seen 4 days out of the garage since I got her. Is currently in garage parked, awaiting me to take her out once weekly to keep fluids and parts going.
-Interior I give 7.5/10 due to leather conditions, does not look bad just has noticable wear. Monster mats and oem mats included. Interior pieces panels etc all look great.
-Car was in an accident during first owner, front passenger clip had to be replaced. Car was checked by EAT for maintenance and bodywork when purchased in 2009 and was given a thumbs up. Car had no damage to subframe (this verified by EAT (European Auto Tuning) and myself) after engine was pulled for stage3 work.
-Water pump was leaking as of 2 months ago, got it replaced and fixed now getting a very light leak coming from same area. Will be taking to UroDimension (new EAT) to get checked and fixed hopefully sometime next week.
-Car tune can use some fine tweaking with Unisetting. Don't get me wrong, car hauls and to some scary fast (I'm used to it!!)
-minor scratches on wheels and minor curb marks on a couple wheels (nothing that stands out, you must look for it) still looks great.
The car has not been dyno'd. It runs at 21-22lbs consistent. NO CEL. Overall car is in VERY GOOD mechanical shape, once coolant is looked into I will say GREAT.
Call me or text me @ 321-202-9145
Email me @ email@example.com
Come on by and I'll let you drive her with proof of drivers license and quick personality check on my part.
I will be providing left over parts from build and replacements, OEM 17 b5 s4 avus wheels with tires (need to be replaced but can be used if needed), some oil filters, and other misc parts to purchaser. Also, resonated pipes for SSAC if you want to quiet her down.
I would like to give this amazing car a new home to an enthusiast that will take care of her just like I have.
Look me up on the vortex! Got24v so you can see my history, past project cars, posts, etc...
this will validate my enthusiast and caring status.
Selling price is $10000 FIRM as is with no warranty obviously. Do not waste my time with low balls or silly offers please. God bless and hopefully see one of you soon.

Peter J. Antinoro, Ph.D. bidded on a project I posted to www.ifreelance.com and I awarded him the project and paid a $75 deposit. He was to deliver on January 26, 2010. I emailed him from that point up to February 27th and each time he responded with "I'll deliver," "I'll send by Friday," or "I'll send out tomorrow." I contacted ifreelance and they let me know that he closed his account and there's nothing they can do about me getting a refund, but stated that Mr. Antinoro would not be able to register an account with them again. I think ifreelance is as responsible as Mr. Antinoro for this deception and theft.

Observation HTML version
Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world and is compatible and consistent
with your dominant thinking.
You see, hear and feel (physical senses) what you believe to be your reality and conduct
yourself in accord with this appearance of the world. When you notice negative events you're
disturbed, when you view positive actions you become relaxed and cheerful. The truth is, while
the outer world is a reflection of the inner world, it's an incomplete image. This principle
explains most emotions as in happiness, sadness, success and failure.
The true meaning of the Law of Correspondences, "As above, so below," is our conscious world
is a reflections of our subconscious beliefs and our beliefs instruct our mind on the value of
every event. Like universal law, this association isn't exact. You incorporate and entwine your
thoughts with your modalities (your primary forms of sensation, touch smell, sight) and
perceive them as a single event, separate yet whole; just as the cycle of one law connects to the
cycle of another.
We don't always live according to our personal values and viewpoints. The events and actions
of your past shaped your future. From childhood our parents guided our thoughts and placed
values in our lives. As an adult you are directed by your experiences from your youth, from the
media and from your sensory perceptions. Every situation assembles new information and thus,
you are always developing new values and beliefs.
Since you are one with nature and God flows through your life, you are two realizations,
separate and whole. Separate in your subconscious rules your view of the world yet your
conscious remains the sole contact with the world. Your inner world supplies your values and
viewpoints yet your outer world decides the importance of those values as they apply to given
circumstances. When you known the right thing to do and choose the opposite, you've
experienced this separation of consciousness.
In the end, your inner world reflects the experiences of your outer world and the outer world
constantly contributes experiences to the inner world. Your outer world is a movie which the
inner world directs.
The Law of Correspondence makes it clear our problems don't exist as problems. Our mind and
beliefs make them problems. If you believe an event is an opportunity, it will be. Should you
believe the same event is a difficult; life will give you difficulty. If you had a deep belief you
would spot a shark while scuba diving, guess what, a shark. It's important to have clear, visible
and realistic beliefs, consistent with your wants, needs and values.
Belief is like a scientific theory. A hypothesis (educated guess) is based on observations of the
given event. Logical deductions are made to separate the facts and a theory is born out of the
Going one step further; theory is held as true until disproved. How did man come up with such
an idea? Simple, he took his own analysis of the way his thoughts work and applied them to the

Police arrested a 42-year-old Salt Lake man for alleged criminal property damage stemming from an argument with his live-in girlfriend.
Police said the man and the 39-year-old woman, who reside together, were arguing on Tuesday when the suspect entered the woman's vehicle and damaged property. The woman sustained minor injuries in the incident.
The man fled, but was found at a Best Western hotel on North Nimitz Highway Sunday. He was arrested on suspicion of first- and third-degree criminal property damage and unauthorized entry into a motorized vehicle.

The stock market was up slightly at the close Wednesday as investors yawned at the Federal Reserve's announcement that it will continue its bond-buying program.
The Nasdaq Composite, the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones industrial average all rose 0.3%. Volume was lower across the board, according to preliminary data.
The Federal Reserve announced the fourth reduction in its bond-buying program, known as quantitative easing, reducing it by $10 billion a month to to $45 billion. The 2:15 p.m. ET announcement was widely expected and caused hardly a ripple among stocks.
The Fed said the economy continued to gain momentum as consumers spend more and said it expects to continue to trim its bond buying.
Before the open, the Commerce Department announced that GDP grew at a 0.1% annualized rate in the first quarter compared with 2.6% in Q4. The Street expected a 1.1% increase, according to Econoday. The slowdown was partly blamed on a cold winter in the East.
In the stock market today, eBay (EBAY) and Twitter (TWTR) were both casualties. EBay gapped down and closed 5% lower after reporting sales that lagged estimates.
Twitter gapped down and closed 9% lower. It's now at an all-time low. Late Tuesday, the microblogging service delivered a second straight quarterly profit and another triple-digit sales gain. But subscriber growth slowed from the fourth quarter.
Among IBD stocks, 39 were up and 11 were down, according to preliminary data.

Tile laying question
Heya all,
I am new here and to home improvement. I have a room that I want to lay some (I think its Ceramic) tile down. I have what looks to be a 3/4 inch plywood sub floor. Its a bit flimsy so I figure I need to add something on top to help strengthen it. My question is this...What should be laid down on top of the sub floor and how should it be attached. I have read just lay down a thin piece of plywood and then slap your tile down on that with thinset, but I have also read that you need to lay concrete? board down and then your tiles. I guess I am really looking for a step by step process of what "layers" /steps need to happen from the sub floor to the actual tile.
First, you need to know the joist material, joist size, joist spacing and the length of the span between the joist supports so the deflection can be calculated. Then you will need to know exactly how much and what kind of material is on top of the joists. (drill a small hole in it and check the total thickness. Post back and further help will come :thumbup:
ok...here goes ;)
There is a slab...with what appears to be (1x2?) laid flat against the slab...on top of that its 2x4s on their side. The 2x4s have been slotted on one end to keep them a hair off the slab. The space between the joists is about 14 inches.
Deflection will be OK Next step is what kind of material and how thick is on top of the joists?
Thanks for the reply Rehabber....the top of the joist is maybe an inch and a half...tops...I am at work so I am going from memory. The joists themselves are basically 2x4s on their sides...as far as what matieral...I am assuming your asking what the 2x4s are made of? or the sub floor...my knowledge is just wood for the 2x4s and plywood for the subfloor
I have been trying to figure this out all day what the best practice for this will be. Right now I am leaning on tearing out the entire floor in the room, replacing it with exterior grade plywood...maybe 3/4 inch...lay a think layer of thin set and screw a cement backer board. Then thin set and tile. Is that the basic process?
You will need a minimum of 1 and 1/4 inch of plywood subfloor. Then put down backerboard with thinset as recommended by the backerboard mfg. check the mfg website for all installation instructions. You are then ready to tile.
Gotcha! Thanks a ton for your help...One last question. I believe I have the space to build up to 1 and 1/4 inch, but can I lap another piece of 3/4 inch on top of the existing and then start the backer board or should I really tear it up and put in once piece...
Maybe you missed it (?) but he has a slab as a floor with a concoction's of wood over it. Hence why his floor is flimsy. Maybe start over?
This house is a Cobbled together mess in my opinion. And actually I think the plywood is 1/2 inch now that I think about it. The sub floor is actually sandwiched between 2x4s so I have to use a saw to cut it out...and its nailed about 4 inches inside the wall making it unaccessible. To do everything the right way, I would need to gut the room...and I am REALLY trying at all costs to avoid that. I was planning on cutting 2x4 and making small boxes along the wall so I can actually nail the "new" floor in place. I have some space to work with so adding a bit of hight to the floor wont matter all that much.
I was basically just trying to make this room into a first floor laundry room but the more I dig into it, the more its becoming a nightmare.
Could you remove all the floor to concrete, tile on the concrete and use tall baseboard to cover the gaps?
Ok last question I think...My plans are being finalized...and I think its a solid plan. you mentioned I need 1 and 1/4 inch of plywood...is that just one piece...IE they make 1 and 1/4 plywood? I went out to our local lowes and I only saw 3/4 inch...I wasnt sure if I need to keep looking or if I am just not quite understanding the "subfloor" or whatever is under the tile..
EDIT: By the way...thanks a ton for helping me out on this...I actualyt too some before pictures and once I find a place to host them I will post them up.
Any type of wood flooring over concrete does not work long term. As you already know it's going to twist and buckle, shrink and expand. You need to rip everything out and go over the slab.
Its not directly on the slab......but again...I jsut want to know at this point if I slap 2 3/4 sheets on top of each other...

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
U.S. bank debt has lost 7.8 percent and yields have jumped to record levels compared with benchmark rates in the past month....The concern among debt holders is reflected in Citigroup's $789 million outstanding in 7.25 percent subordinated notes due in October 2010, which fell 7 cents today to 70 cents on the dollar and have lost 23.7 cents in the past three weeks.
Italics mine. 70 cents on the dollar, eh? Basically, this means that Vikram Pandit's cheery memos notwithstanding, the market already figures that either (a) Citi will eventually be forced into some kind of debt-for-equity swap that will slash the value of their claims, or (b) the government will nationalize Citigroup and then decide not to pay off bondholders at par. This is bad for current bondholders, but Felix Salmon thinks low bond prices will eventually attract the bottom feeders:
Increasingly they're going to start representing significant potential gains for people who are buying at today's levels and hoping to be paid off at par — paid off, that is, essentially by taxpayers. Since those people can be broadly characterized as hedge-fund managers, one can foresee a lot of Congressional pushback if a large number of hedgies start pulling in tens of millions of dollars just by playing the moral hazard trade. Or, to put it another way, it's a lot easier to impose a haircut when a haircut is priced in than when it isn't.
Right. If hedge funds start buying up Citi's bonds at 70 cents on the dollar, hoping that eventually the bank will be nationalized and its obligations guaranteed by the U.S. government, they've probably got another thing coming. It's one thing to pay off bondholders who invested years ago in good faith, but quite another to pay off speculators hoping to cash in on a taxpayer bailout.Still, it's tricky. After all, how do you tell the speculators apart from the other creditors? You can't. So either everyone gets a haircut or no one does. And if everyone does, nobody quite knows what will happen. Bottom line: buying Citi bonds at current prices might be a good deal, but only if you have nerves of steel. Their future is murky indeed.
