[urq] UrQ appreciation

[Thatcher Hubbard]

Wow...that's even worse than being mistaken for a Scirocco (which I can see
from a couple angles).  Gran Turismo 4 has definitely raised the profile of
these cars with the rice-it-out crowd.

There is plenty to make up for it though.  There's a guy who lives here in
Missoula (never met him face-to-face) with an extremely clean 91 200 20v
Avant that actually rolls down his window and pumps his fist at me when I
drive by, he's quite an Audi fan apparently.  Either that or he's really mad
at me.
