[V8] One Bitter Audi Owner

[cobram at juno.com]

Naw, as long as you're pissing money away, may as well buy a brand new R8
convertible, and trade it in every year on a brand new Audi.  Yeah,
that's the ticket. 
When the $40 solenoid died in my V8Q transmission many moons ago, Audi
wanted me to spend $4500 for a new transmission (part alone.)  I opted to
adapt one from a used BMW transmission.  3 hours and $50 and it's still
working fine.  

You'd think Audi could come up with a transmission for an $85000+ car
that lasts longer than the one in a Chevy Chevette.   
 
BCNU,
