Why i drive an Audi

[Larry C Leung]

Interesting thing, the I-5. It's history is rapidly fading away, in spite
of it's relative merits.

One of the guys in my bike club (that's the human powered kind) just
replaced his Taurus wagon with a B9 (?) A6qA  (i.e. 95), so after our
training ride I backed up to check out his car. He said he really likes
it and that he bought a "wagon" 'cuz he needed the space for his bike. I
said, I could put my bike right in the trunk (200Q). He goes, "but your
car is bigger than mine." I said, no, his car is the next generation of
mine, but it has no turbo and it's a V-6 instead of I-5. 

He said "FIVE cylinder!?!?!!??"
