Not really.  There's nothing to say the car wasn't chipped and that
AoA really told him he would "be made an example of", save his word,
which on those forums, is worth about as far as you can toss your
car(ie, nothing.)

Yes.  I found the comments from "CharlieGSanD" and "Stang Guy" to be
very eloquent.  Perfect example of the charm so typical of many
members there.

   I also got a kick out of the S8 owner expressing concern and asking
what mods he has(he's better be careful with the turbo on that S8,
eh?  Heh.)

I am very amused to learn that AoA was surfing Audiworld looking for
people bragging that they swapped their ECUs before taking the car in
after the turbos blew etc.  What a bunch of morons.  "Duh, let's swap
our ECUs to fool the dealer, and tell thousands of strangers on a
public forum about how clever we are, hu-yuck!"  Serves them right.

If it wasn't for the people acting irresponsibly, AoA probably
wouldn't have the impression that all the turbo failures were from
chips and probably wouldn't think every S4 owner with blown turbos
was trying to screw them.
