[V8] Something odd here

There are quite a few for sale on ebay motors right now, all things
considered.  I think 5 right now.   I've looked at them a number of times,
but if you ask me they are overpriced for what they are, and underpowered.
I am always leary of a convertible too after owning the miata, building a
chassis properly is not easy when there is no roof, and unless you are doing
so from the ground up, its not easy to succeed.   I'm sure the Audi is
better than most, but for the same money I'd be looking at a much newer CTS
V6 manual instead.

  I do like the look of the cabby's, however, there is one local around here
I see almost every day at school.  And those GIS seats look sharp as well.
