-=[ Registry tweaks ]=-

It has been brought to my attention that the current list of cars on the
registry sucks. There are way too many A4s and not enough of other
cars. Input is therefore requested from listmembers on a new list of cars
to make life better.

Two ideas:
1) put EVERY model in there
2) put only the bare model variations and let users distinguish themselves
from the pack in the descriptions.

Thoughts:
[1] makes it easy to find a car that is exactly like yours but
[2] makes it easy to find cars that are similar to yours.

Here is my attempt at a list that fits [2] (comments inline):

CGT
4000
4000q
4000tq (almost a breed of its own now)
5000
5000t
5000q
5000tq
100
100q
200
200q
80
80q (sorry javad and jim, no tq)
90
90q
90q20v
V8q
CQ 20v
CQ (non-US, the non-turbo CGT-looking car)
Ur Quattro
A4
A4q
A6
A6q
A8
A8q
S4
S6
S8
Cabrio
TT

What I've tried to do is just put all the models and various t's and
q's. I know there is an inconsistency with the A4, A4q, and the 't', but
I thought since there are so many different flavors there, we should just
limit them to q and non-q. Also, I've tried to eliminate the confusion
that the various "s", "cs", "csq" impose by just eliminating them.

Thoughts?
