[urq] BuMmerW VS Audi

[Bill Bennett]

yes, being used to Quattro, leaving the stop light quickly was my natural
orientation, it does not work on a two wheel drive car. how do people drive
these archaic automobiles fast? the inside wheel spin is horrible on corners
on acceleration on BuMmerW and MickieBenz, horrible traction, minimal
steering control,like NASCAR, no wonder those boys hit the wall, Quattro
rules. I drove a 500 SL today with ASR disabled, good grief, it  needs the
$10,000 of  electronic controls to keep it in the lane, I did but I am an
old fart
