Steve,

It's an Audi.

Audis are expensive to own.

You knew this when you joined the club. We make you sign a statement
acknowledging that these are not Honders and that parts are expensive.

Retail on the bolt is $13. Ask for the qlist discount. How much do you
expect to save on a $13 part? Want to order it mail order from
www.discountaudiparts.com - pay 8 bux and 5 more for shipping?

And shoot, if I ever got quoted $13 for a part from an Audi dealer, I'd buy
it just on the principle that it was under $100. Whether I needed it or not
:)

Life is way too short to try to save $2 on an inexpensive part. What is
*your* time worth?

IMO, of course.

Sheesh.

Lee
