   And Chad responds,
    Mainly just the southern CA, Huntington beach area. I'm always 
looking at Auto Traders in other parts of the country when I travel 
simply just to check used car prices on Audi Quattros only. I'm 
always finding my mouth open and jaw dropped because of the deals I 
see. Maybe it's just because I live in Colorado.

  I'm always amazed by the excellent condition of your CA cars also. 
No rock pits and hazed/sandblasted headlights or broken windshields, 
no rust(not that we see much at all in CO) etc,etc.

  Just like the black '91 TQ 20v sedan I drove out there a year ago. 
I was going nuts trying to figure out a way to purchase this car. Too 
much money and mods stuffed into my '87 5TQ to justify this purchase. 
(Still kicking myself)

I definitely agree with you here.
