	Umm ... Quentin, I think Bryan was just being a wee bit
	sarcastic there! :-)

	But the moderation you urge is commendable.  In my
	opinion, most cars have *some* feature worthy of admiration
	and/or enthusiasm.  Being an enthusiast of a marque just
	entails spending enough time with it (the folks on this list
	sure do that in good measure!).

	So I find that  I can share my neighbor's enthusiasm over
	the dual carbs in his Mustang 350 just as much as that
	of the kid down the street over his tricked out Honda Civic.
	It just so happens that I'm into Audis now: it used to be
	my '80 Fiesta and then a turbodiesel Volvo wagon  -- neat
	cars in their own way.

	Enjoy your cars, everyone!

	-Arun
