Mel,

Lighten up!  There are ALOT of tq owners on this list that tow something
with their Audi's.  The one week old receiver hitch on my tqw was great to
pull it out of the ditch with!

Seriously, though, with 200+ hp, I'm sure my '87 tqw would have been a great
towing vehicle.  The next one I get will also have a receiver hitch on it.
I'm not going to put a stump grinder or rototiller in our V8 quattro, urq,
or tqw!  And I don't think I'll have a truck again soon, so what other
option is there?
