[V8] re: Was: That "sinking" feeling! (Now: Happy Birthday Jeremy)

[Maurice Greven]

Well Happy B-bay to you. My understanding is that the Audi Gods are
already on the bad side of the Lottery...just look what happensto Value
on Audi's in the first 3-4 years !!! Your $70k car loses more than 50%
of its value....!!!

That's good for us who don't aspire to a "new" one... I still feel like
my '90 Pearl is a "new" car. As well the comments I get from others are
that there is no way that is a 14 year old car... 185k miles?? WOW
!!!... Etc.etc...

Maurice
