Glad you did not tell me that back in 98 when I was contemplating buying a
brand new Audi, instead bought the 200 and put the saved money in Gold and
Silver coins.Wish I put all the cash in cons back than, silver was $6 and
gold 280.
PS, any one know where I can get a good deal on a rebuilt steering rack,
mine is leaking at the steering column.

S6 V8 I lust for some day soon, after I hit lotto though, or sell the
house and
buy a small log cabin with large barn and invest my life's savings in
gold...
