Price of gas is probably going to go north of a $1.50 per liter here soon. 
Already seeing the near new SUV's and pickup trucks with FS signs on them.

Anyway my sons have used the AV8 for a couple of years now.... smacked into 
our utility trailer, scrubbed the front on the garage door jam and backed 
into my wife's new '12 Focus, big swiped down two doors. Also cracked the 
rear bumper valence on something. Bumps and bruises.  Solid built so it's 
hanging in there. We did the CV boots, new brakes, the new fuel lines. Had 
to replace the  sealing washer on the fuel filter and an exhaust clamp fell 
off - just the day we were going to hit the highway for a 2 hour drive. Had 
to double back and pack the crew in the 928GTS.

My Volvo the Germany sourced ignition lock failed, leaving me stranded in a 
Starbucks drive thru off all places. Towed out on a dolly.

A4's are priced $5-under 10K. Seem to be the same size, the 1.8T engine has 
to be pretty good no?
