Amen. As the (sole) 100Q owner on the quattro list, I second Carl's
sentiment. It gets around fairly well, has never met something it
couldn't handle, even with 5 people and suitcases climbing hills.

So it doesn't burn rubber, or blow 300ZX's away at stop lights.
Who cares? It's my daily commuter, and it does just fine. When I
need to pass, there's always a gear or two down below waiting.

Only my cat shares my opinions, and she's not very fast, either.
