[urq] a/c expansion valve

[Ed Kellock]

To my surprise, I've become extremely envious.  For some reason I've
never really seriously considered going to this event, yet it's
exactly the type of thing that I've traversed a minimum of half this
nation to do a dozen times over the last 15 years.

It's just not in the cards.  As it turns out I'm flying to the west
coast tomorrow for a friend's wedding this weekend, so maybe there's
some grander plan in the works.  Or maybe I'll just sit and fester as
I look at all the event pix in a week or so.  ;-)

I ran my urq to the bottom of E the other day and filled it.  21.3
gallons of high-test was $58.90.  Ouch.  My airfare to CA is only 4x
that and I'll arrive in less than 4 hours, gate-to-gate.  However,
instead of my urq, I'll have a Chevy Malibu or some such.  *sigh*

To all who are celebrating 25 years of quattro in Connecticut this
weekend (and anywhere else for that matter), be safe, take a deep
breath each time you fill up, and have a great time.
