No kidding. This ain't no religion, y'all know? Well, actually it's 
freightening how it seems like so with all those sacrifices and stuff...

I like Audis because that's the only "ideal" AWD that I can get in U.S. 
If Toyota, Nissan, Lancia, or Alpha decide to put one of their AWD cars 
on U.S. soil, I may reconsider my next purchase (which is coming up Real 
Soon). Yeah right...

My guess is that many people here didn't get the presents they wanted for 
Xmas -- either that, or they had terrible hangover from New Years Eve bash.

By the way, how in the bloody hell did you choose words to make every 
line even? That's totally amazing!
