	I live in DC, but was up in Mass on business (Framingham actually, a
suburb of Boston) and we went out to eat at the Bugaboo Creek Steak House.
I saw what I think is the same car. It was pre the 1.8T in the country so
it must be a 2.8, but it was basically a regular A4 with S4 badging from
the S series of the 100. I thought it was pretty clever actually, and if I
had a 1.8T heavily tuned I would consider adding the badges myself. 
	Small world though...atleast for us Audi Geeks:)
