unintended acceleration

[Steve Sears]

Nadj,
I guess what happened is kinda similar to hanging out with your friends,
talking and joking with each other, and some guy walks up and drops a
pointed barb about someone in the group.  That barb would have passed
between friends, but not with someone you don't know.  Hang around for a
while and get to know the characters - then you can start making jokes about
Huw's yellow powdercoating on stuff ....oops.
...and don't get me started on companies killing off the names of other
companies ;-) - those four rings on your avant's grille don't stand for
quattro....(Audi, DKW, Horch, Wanderer)
Now let's talk about swapping a V8 in that avant to get some real umph under
the hood....that will fix your unintended underacceleration problem.
Cheers!

1987 Audi 5kTQ - somewhere between 160 and 200 hp
1980 Audi 5k - 100-ish hp
1962 and '64 Auto Union DKW Junior deLuxes - wanna talk underacceleration?
34 hp (I've got a JD garden tractor with more hp) - but I get more smiles
per mile.

 No need to apologize.  The point of my joke wasn't about the 'UA' as the
group likes to refer to it--it was about the lack of power.  I don't think
there's anything wrong with my car, it just doesn't make much power.  I
guess if I was running at half my potential, I'd last a long time, too.
Some of you guys must be major share holders in AAG to be so concerned about
market share.  I thought having old cars was about having fun.  My other old
car ia a '67 Plymouth Fury wagon--not avant--and they dont even make
Plymouths anymore.  How's that for market share?  The Plymouth name was
killed off by Daimler Chrysler--my guess is it was more the former than the
latter.  And I laugh right along with others when people make fun of
Chrysler Corp.'s troubles in the late 70s/early 80s.  At this point, I
should consider unsubscribing, but that just feels wrong.
