zzzzactly.. that Paul..   So Audi _ Expands her market share, to gain
those Westchester NY , Sunset Blvd..LA  blokes while protecting her' ass
against Liability threats if said bloke stuffs it into a tree. they've
paid less attention to DRIVING in the name of society collective
obsession with bluetooth interconnectivity and GPS systems that serves
up a sultry female voice telling you where the closest Fodor's - rated
French restaurant is located. Many of the German cars, even Byte My
Weenies are sliding down this slope.   and kills off the legacy in the
process because old car guys buying 034efi hop up kits do not feed the
corporate balance sheet.

SO whattaya do? something like  Paul's Alumabitch Daily drv and a RED
930. why not?  and many others listed here tolerating a daily driver
while stoking the crap out of an old UrQ or C4 chassis Audi just for the
pure joy of the last of breed.

or Corrado's even..

 This list and others (like P car guys) represents a breed of drivers
who are connected to the car, the road , the situation.. in total as
Mark says.. Pilot in control.

but in fact we aren't the main vein of Audi's market segment, anymore. 

"Get used to it folks and it'll get worse much worse before ever hoping
to get better (won't)."

Maybe best hope lies in Porsche, maintaining the real thing.. without
the HD Radio  option.. nor Bluetooth.

Auto Electronics are highly over utilized.. The whiz circuitry is cool
and all, but it's no replacement for a DRIVER'S CAR.

Sing it Jeffrey!  Oh yeah!

PRAISE DA LORD!  

HALLEJUIAH!!!  

Can I get another AMEN!??!???  

Gospel Jeff, pure Gospel.  Apparently you ordain'd yerself a Minister of
Quattro and are preachin' to da CHOIR my boy...  CHOIR, that is.

Awesome post, great Rant Sir Postupack.  

Me I'll stay in my old jalopies to my grave with any luck.

And I've said this time and time again...  screw all this fart sensor
this and collision avoidance that and smart (dumb) cruise control
whathaveyou...  GIVE ME A FRICKIN WINDOW SWITCH (insert random annoying
common unacceptable failure-part here) THAT FRICKIN WORKS AND DOESN'T
NEED REPLACEMENT 12x ALREADY!!!  

But, alas - no - we get fart sensors

Hmm, sooooooo this got me tinking (not good / rare)...  one thing I'm
trying to install on Alumibish is a new Seat Belt Warning System
(SBWS)...  I intend to make <<<cue guy beating drums in background>>>...
SBSBWS...  yes, yes...  that's Space Balls Seat Belt Warning System.  I
need a sound bit bite of the scene burnt into my Phatnoise to que upon
startup, yes.  

Wait for it...

"PREPARE FOR LUDICROUS SPEED!"

"Ludicrous Speed!?!?!???  Sir!  We've never gone that fast before - I
don't know if the ship can take it!" <deletes Colonel Sanders reference>

"Sir!  Shouldn't you buckle up!?!?"

"AH, BUCKLE THIS!!!"

Now... having said that, you then just want to always ensure perpetual
avoidance of "No no no no, go past this part go past this part - in fact
- NEVER PLAY THIS PART AGAIN" opportunities, heh heh.

Don't laugh.  I just thought of this as I was posting, now that I've
said it out loud I may just do this.  Hmmm.  Anyone got a sound bite
they can find / send me???  HAhahahahaaa isssssssssssssssssssssssues.
Blame Pasqualooney we watched it last weekend, the bastid.
