Rich,

Don't despair, buddy!  There's a reason these cars are known as money pits
;-)  And let's face it, the used car market in general sucks wind anyhow
right now.  I say keep it, keep on trying to sell it.  I SUPPOSE you could
try parting it out in an attempt to recoup more of you costs -- but I'd
doubt it.

'Rational' and 'urquattro' don't quite fit together anyway...
