type 44 syndrome, with Audi content

[Ben Swann]

[What is type 44 syndrome?

We have a group of people who have formed an attachment for a car which
*economically* (in the view of most people) makes no sense.]

I would have never put the effort or money into a car that did not have the
attributes of my '87 Turbo Quattro Avant, unless it was some rare
collectable.  QUATTRO All Wheel Drive,  good gas mileage and pretty good
power even by todays standards, plenty of luxury and room, good handling
and very stable.  Not counting my labor, I have not spent more than $6500
on it - I have a spreadsheet which tracks my expenditures since I bought
the car.
