[s-cars] Mileage

[matt ludwig]

Bill,

You do know what type of, um, "car" we are talking about here w/ Hap's 
green machine, right? Hap's s-car (read "super" for that s) is far from 
anywhere near stock, tame or even normal. Knowing all the mods he has 
going, I think that is unbelievable gas milage and a true tribute to 
what an astounding motor audi designed.

Nice work Hap- i am even more belittled now to know that not only could 
you smoke me in any situation w/ the green beast, but you could do it 
all w/ better gas milage! ;)

sincerely,

matt ludwig.
