Yeah, got my issue last night.  Very colorful.  Lots of energy.

I like the full page ads for Ron's Parts and TAP.  How about them Wilwood 
11" 4 piston brakes for $800?  It's exciting that they actually list an 
application for Coupe GT's and 4000's.  And the price didn't say "from 
$795" or "$795 and up".  Very interesting.  Got me thinking that they 
might be a cost-effective alternative to a G60 conversion, considering the 
cost of strut housings, calipers, and rotors to do it bolt-on.  Maybe the 
Wilwood setup will convert a drum rear axle to disc?  Nah, can't be...

_Now_ they advertise the SPAX adjustables, after I made a half-hearted 
effort to locate some before springing for the Bilstein's.  (I'm happy 
w/them tho'.)

The long term review of their A4tqm is yet another testament to that car 
that I need to block out so I can concentrate on my present, paid-off 
Audis.  Going to the dealer to order little brake booster hardware and 
looking at the A4's doesn't help either.  <I don't want payments, I don't 
want payments!>  (I have to remember that!)

OK, I feel a little better.
