Hmm, "...battery contacts...full of crud and _viola_." ???

The viola (Doug, it's pronounced "vee-oh-lah") is a large string instrument
that many of us have learned is quite impossible to fit properly beneath
the rear seat of a 200tq. In fact, Audi 100 and 200 owners should be
advised that attempts to store such an instrument in that space will surely
result in electrical (and viola) problems.

Upon discovering such a situation, the appropriate exclamation is:
"Voila! Viola!"
