It's that kind of BS that moved us to trade our A4 Cab after repeated electrical
issues and buy a lexus.  I could deal with the problems,  the car drove THAT
nice :)  But I just couldn't take the dealer Bull...  The Lexus is a nice car,
but it ain't no Audi when your behind the wheel.  But a gs430 will put a smile
on your face when your plant your right foot :)

Glad ya got it fixed Rex!
