Well, I remain skeptical about the longer term
reliability of anything more complex than gears and
synchros.  The only time I don't drive a manual is
in a rental car, and I always hate it.  But then
I am a bit old fashioned:
- snowboarding sucks, 2 skis rule
- body piercing should be for ears only
- tattoos are for males
- pants should be worn high enough that underwear
doesn't show
- I don't "get" Instant Messaging.  Is email really
that slow?
- The most desirable Audis have 5 cylinders and one
turbocharger (though a V8 with a 6-speed might be
worth a look!)

So there.  Everyone have a great Christmas making
quattro tracks in the snow, and may the Audi gods
bless us all with a low maintenance new year.
