[s-cars] Fewer AUDI folks wave these days !!!

[David Kase]

I had an E36 M3 and that car was awesome!  Plenty of torque and power 
and stopped on a dime.  A real enthusiasts car.  It takes some serious 
mods to any Audi of the same vintage to match the performance.

But...when I drove it I felt like a tool.  I always hated BMW drivers as 
I thought they were snobby pricks.  The shame is they are really nice 
cars.  I just couldn't "connect" with the car, I always felt like I was 
/borrowing/ some elses ride.

So...I went back to another Audi.  I paid $12k for a 16 year old Audi 
Coupe with an AAN that will keep up with an E36 M3 but doesn't handle as 
well or stop as well AND doesn't have A/C (yet)!

I must have lost my marbles...
