I've seen something similar at a dealership, which shall remain 
nameless, when they had to move a bunch of cars for a enthusiast meet.

Nearly every one was moved without leaving first gear.  Nearly every 
one was blowing blue smoke about half way through the move process.

Perhaps Audi should have looked a little closer to home with all 
those S4tt turbo failures- and all the weenies who obsess about 
changing their Mobil 1 every 3k miles should realize that the car's 
virginity has long since been stripped.

Now, if only I could do something about the weenies who insist on 
changing the subject line, making it impossible to follow threads...
