[s-cars] UrS as a Purpose Built Track Car?

[Steve Mills]

My wife and I were at a Summit Point track event when her S4 had a boost
hose blow off. I temporarily swapped her my S6 while I fixed the S4, and
took it out on the track for a few laps to make sure there weren't any other
problems. While I was out there I passed a few 3-series BMWs, not thinking
much about it. Later in the pit area they came over and said it was bad
enough being passed by a big sedan, but having the Winnie the Pooh and
Tigger waving at them as I went by was really a bit much. Her car still had
the Winnie and Tigger sun shades on the rear windows ;-)
