[urq] Interesting 4000 battery observation

[Thatcher Hubbard]

An 83 5+5 was the first Audi in my family.  Chocolate brown with a
cloth interior.  I remember it being a very nice car considering it
was replacing my mother's 78 Honda CVCC which was, to say the least,
small.

I don't remember it being a dog, and my dad liked it well enough that
they've had an quattro ever since.  The Urq is my second, and my
grandparents and sister have since gotten quattros of their own.
