[s-cars] FMIC GP-You're KILLING me!

[Dave Burig]

I JUST decided YESTERDAY (after reading the latest issue of Amoroso
Quarterly) that I was not going to do anything more to my car than the
maintenance required to get it through the next three years, at which time,
if the Gods are smiling on me, and I can save my shekels stay out of the
group purchases, I will buy a few year old RS6. Buuuuuut Noooooooooo.
Now come the GP offers for RS2, FMIC, Happerbars, Superleggs, Euro Lights,
etc.
WILL THIS EVER STOP?  Am I destined to have the slowest URS4 in the U.S.,
albeit Stage 2?
What's next?  Ceramic rotors, Carbon Fiber hoods?  Unobtainium Dipsticks?
You guys are SICK!
Keep up the good work.

Dave "Now Eagleye will have two S4s faster than mine" Burig

Hmm, FMIC+WI=Freezing cold intake manifold?
