[s-cars] servotronic defeat system

[Mike Fitton]

Yeah but.  But.  I'm trying to get rid of the luxo-boat feeling as much 
as possible.  I wanted an Audi, not a mid-80s Lincoln.

I do see the point though.  I love it in tight quarters and on the 
highway, but a lot of time I find myself just wanting more resistance.  
It's not like it was totally unassisted before.  I also have the very 
likely delusional theory that servotronic wears out the rack seals faster.

That's why I wanna switch it.  On in parking lots and stuff.  Off on 
back roads when I'm trying not to die from Audi's idea of "brakes."

-Cheers!
Mike
