Every now and then a hot shot in a red 328i waites for a light next to me. 
After looking at all the paraphernalia I have on the car the jerk ALWAYS 
feels its his duty to teach this "other" german car what a real Ultimate 
Bragging Machine can do to its driver's (i.e. mine) self esteem. Boy, do I 
enjoy blowing their blue/white bavarian propellers of the hood, FROM THE 
STANDSTILL!
Granted, my car is "slightly" more powerful than the A4, but still... Plus, 
Herr Abt is coming out with the performance stuff for the A4, and the other 
guys will be quick to follow. Or wait a little and get an A4TQ 20v. Should 
be one hell of a rocket.

Get a Quttro, Mike, are you kidding!
