advice requested, re: long trip in an Audi (or nrutaS)

[Tom Donohue]

Ken...I don't have a Saturn, but would take the Audi every time.  Last one
was an 89 200tqa which I sold last August with 350,000 miles on it to an
internet buyer from Ohio.  I drove it for the previous four years (300k to
350k) back & forth to Phila (nearly 400 miles each way) with no problems
other than blowing out two studded snows on the NJ Turnpike on one
trip...certainly not the car's fault.  Present ride is a 91 200q20v avant,
with 143k, which is used the same way.  If your car is reasonably
maintained, there is no reason, IMHO, that the audi will not perform
flawlessly on your trip.  Best of luck.  Tom Donohue
