They tried to chase *me* off, but it didn't work.  'Course I'm more
stubborn than most.. (-:

Actually, I prolly wouldn't consider a type 44 sedan- there are
too many other nice AWD performance sedans out there (Not for $2500, and
not as large and luxurious as an Audi, but for around $10k there are
several that are nice, solid, and fun to drive.)

For my requirements, though, the wagon simply has no equal.  I've had it a
whole week now, have an appointment to get the timing belt and some other
things done tomorrow at the shop, and I still love it.

We took it down to the in-laws in the snow yesterday to show it off, and
it handled the ultra-slick conditions beautifully.  All that, and room for
me, the wife, the (current and all forseen) kids, the dogs, and luggage
for a week-- in a package that handles like its on rails and outruns most
things I'm likely to encounter on the road.  

What more can a guy want?
