Do you have stock exhaust or stock tips?  This is a common thing but is not
usually noticed unless your exhaust tips point towards the ground or you
have a beveled cut on your exhaust tips.  When I put a split tip that has a
45 cut, even though it points straight out, there is some moisture in the
exhaust.

Oh, and yes.  Girlfriend, family, some friends, are all sick of hearing
about my Audi.  Some understand how I love an 11 year old car, some don't.
I think my '86 4k with my modifications is gorgeous.  I am hoping to get
some pictures scanned in soon to show it off.  Prepare for photos!
