	Thank goodness I'm not the only one who thinks like this :-)!

	People often look at me very strangely when I tell them that I work
	on my car myself.  And then I tell them that I replaced my brand-new
	Nissan Sentra with an Audi because the Nissan never broke ... and
	that's only partly in jest!

	I've driven the Audi almost 10,000 miles in the five months that I've
	had it: all things considered, it hasn't been too bad so far.  I'm
	getting used to or around the quirks it has, and it's a blast to drive.
