If the dealers treated us better and perhaps gave us a discount for already 
having the part numbers (instead of having the parts monkeys, who I thought 
were paid for this looking them up), we just might buy more parts from them.

Even if we don't they've sold a bunch of CDs for $20 each or so.

The reasons we buy from aftermarket sources in the first place are Audi's 
high prices, bad attitude, poor inventory and secretiveness about what we need.

If they "just" changed those four things it would be the aftermarketers who 
would be crying, not the dealers.

Yeah, I know is isn't gonna happen, but it is nice to think about . . .
