You guys are nuts paying that kind of money for plug wires!   You can buy 
really high falutin plug wires at any decent speed shop for a lot less 
than that, and these will have very thick insulation, big thick ends, and 
good low resistance wire cores.   Even if you buy a few extra to come up 
with a set that's the right lengths, it would still be cheaper, and 
you'd have better performance too.  'Course, they don't say "Audi" or 
"VW" on them, but that doesn't bother me.

If everyone's doing this, then I'm getting into the spark plug wire 
business!  :-)
