When to throw in the towel

[DGraber460 at aol.com]

I think I have become the DON'T throw in the towel poster child.
It only took 18 months of gnashing of teeth, posting stupid questions, 
pulling the motor twice (long story), basically swapping every swappable part 
(some twice), getting to know a tow truck driver very well (reverse that, he 
knew me- "Oh that Quattro again, where are you this time," he could drive to 
my house without directions), and last but not least the snide comments of 
neighbors and friends, to get my URQ sorted out.
But by George I got it!
As in combustion, the greater joy is felt when one recovers from a greater 
depression (entropy, enthalpy and all that).
I am enjoying and relishing the car now in a way I wouldn't be able to if it 
had all gone well and easy, and I was REAL close to quitting right at the 
point of victory.
