One of my colleagues has a '96 A4Q and told me how his alarm once kept
going off every couple of minutes for no apparent reason.  Closer
inspection revealed that he had accidentally locked a fly into the car
which kept triggering the motion sensor.

On another note, I should be taking delivery of my '97 A4Q this week.
Unfortunately, I have to travel 180 miles down to Maryland on Friday
and back on Sunday.  I gather it would be a bad idea to take the new
car?  What if I keep the RPMs relatively low (what's the limit during
the breakin period?) and try and vary them during the drive?  What are
some general rules of thumb during break-in?
