I have an Audi, a Rabbit, a Rhygin and a Schwinn.
I have a 10-15 mile commute.
I'm eating a bagel, wondering what your point is.

Nor would mine, but in terms of a tool to move a body around, they work.

Then again, it is occuring to me that I'm wasting my time.  I'm happy that
there are smart people here who know lots of fixes for common problems.
They're cool.  But, like all marque lists, this one has a bunch of rabid
"Audi-or-nothing" people.  Sigh.  It makes people seem quite ignorant,
really.

It is OK, though.  Honda, BMW, Porsche, Audi, there are "enthusiasts" for
each.  There are even enthusiast lists for Berettas.  Wow, would have never
guessed, but true.  All of them have marque people.  Y'know, "PCA Types."
All the marques make fun of the "BMW Geeks" and "Porsche Types," but in
reality, there are geeks and types for EVERY car.

I prefer to call it the "Joker Quotient."

This list has a relatively small but strong willed JQ.  They're funny.
There's an air of superiority here, one that is somehow "above" stoplight
arguments like the Honda types, at least among the JQ.  Deep down, though,
they're all about stoplight wars, inane, endless arguments about which is
better, reminding people that Audi is related to Porsche, not just VW, and
so on.  Joker Quotient.  All the lists I've been on have had some JQ, some
more than others.

Anyhow, I'm thinking that some people are more gifted than others, and my
time is wasted trying to explain things to them where I'm coming from, so I
won't.
