Checklist for Reliability of Older Audis

[Jeff Waterstreet]

Hmm, not exactly.  Aircraft in general aren't a good example, because they
usually totally replace entire systems in the plane, to the extent that many
of the major items are not original; they are updated designs.  Maintenance
is not the only element in this "life-extending" process.

This would be like taking an early Quattro, and putting a 2011 braking
system in it, all new dash gauges out of a late model, late engine and
transmission, etc.  Still an older car, but updated with new stuff so that
it wouldn't be comparable to a car of the same model that has been
well-maintained.

Then the B52 would be a better example?
