And just what is _wrong_ with 1980's Audi technology?

It's not the technology.  It's the age of the stuff.  I've
often thought about upgrading my ride (especially when
I had money).  I'd love a '93 V8. Call me old, but I'd
prefer the torque of the V8 and the automatic for the
daily stop-and-go.  But then I think that's 10 years old.
For the same money, I could get an early A4. Then I 
look at my bank account, and I think I'll keep my 200.  
At least until the high-tech sector picks up again.  It's 
a vacuum being underemployed.

Congrats on the new-to-you car.  Take good care 
of it.  One of us will be happy to take it off your 
hands in 10 years.
