[Biturbos4] Naughty thought...

[Rich Shiba]

"lesser car can be more fun in street conditions" is the first thing
i remember thinking when getting rid of my CQ for the B5 S4.  Not the
space or conditions to push this thing near it's limits, at least in
the areas i commonly drive.  But then that line of thinking kinda leads
you down the unfun road of where does it actually stop?  I'm sure it's
even more challenging/exciting/frightening to zoom down a canyon road
in a Yugo.  Hell, you could probably scare yourself silly w/out ever
breaking the speed limit, all the while getting over 30mpg! ;)
