[V8] Is anyone alive?

[Ed Kellock]

LOL.  No, not me.  I wish. Very reasonable price, even if it needs a
little work.  I almost bid when there were no bids.  I almost bid when
there were a couple.  I expect it would have only resulted in getting
a few more hundred dollars for the seller, which wouldn't have been a
bad thing.  But in the end, I didn't relish a flight/road trip from IL
or more shipping charges, or a SEVENTH old Audi (and 4th V8).

Instead, last night, I drove about 200 miles round trip to buy some
urS-car sport seats for my current black 1993 V8.

I finally realized that when Audi redesigned the seats, they went the
Honda way... the backrest is a lot shorter than the previous seats and
I always felt like I was sitting On the seat not In the seat, very
much like my Mom's old 85 Accord.

Anyway, at least I was out funding the economy, in one form or another.
