You guys are pathetic! (Yes, there is a very big grin here:-)   This is 
like braggin about how long you can go between oil changes!  :-)

	It has always been my opinion that every new car on the showroom
floor is woefully underdamped.  Although, I was rather impressed by the
damping of the new A4.  I also don't recommend to anyone, anything less
than "enthusiast" shocks.  Anything less is inadequate.  Even Eric could
go a little stiffer IMHO.
