new ride!

[Danton Jose Aurel Cardoso]

Das gut!  Willing to sell the 1pc in exchange for my stock lenses?  I have
an 98 A4 avant.  Here is a possible name for the new whip- Gretel?
Who cares replacing black with black?  I am itching to get an S4, silver
with black- like my A4, or charcoal grey- "black on a good day."
