Hmm, okay, you're right on that one.  And I'm not a huge fan either,
but I was impressed that the family walked the lines for hours,
connecting with people who came to the library.

The same stickers appear on a car given to Guy Kawasaki (apparently,
Audi gave it to him for several *months*.)  Sounds like all the
promo/press fleet cars get it.  I guess Audi loaned them the car,
makes sense as they're a very connected family, and it would certainly
help with pushing diesel-related legislation through.

At least, I sure hope that's why it was there- and that it wasn't
there because Audi worked out some sort of promotional deal.  That
would be sickening.
