[Dave Forgie]

The solution to your torque problems in three words:  S4 V8 tiptronic.

If you want more words, try: "Used A8" or better "Used S8".  They are on the
lots as we speak.  A chicks really dig em.  Especially those cutes, lost,  ones
standing on the street corners who always seem to have lost their way to the
"party".  What's up with that?   ;>)
