[Biturbos4] S4 Alternative

[Mike]

The wall!  I almost hit the wall last sunday in my isuzu imark.  I broke 
the passenger side half-shaft and with the welded diff it sent me hard 
to the right.  Luckilly I was able to let off and straighten it out in 
time.   411 hp in a FWD car is scary sometimes. 

Hey, I get my S4 back today.  I just need to find a ride there.  I 
wonder if they will tow it back to my house ;-)  The dealer is 50 miles 
away and I can't drive 2 cars back.
