Camaraderie

[John Lajza <JLAJZAIII@compuserve.com>]

I have found some Audi camaraderie on the road.  From other 4kq drivers, a
smile, a wave and a thumbs up.  Generally when I see another Audi on the
road I try to catch up to it for a better look.  I have not had so much as
a glance from other Audi drivers.  I also have found a degree of
camaraderie from mechanics.  No not just because they see $$$$.  Most
mechanics say "great cars, they just keep running".  From most other folks
I hear "nice car those are expensive to maintain, right?"   I find my 4kq
quite economical to own (door handles, window regulators and sunroof
aside).  I put about 800miles a week on my car.  There are very few cars at
12 years old and 188k that I would trust to get me safely from point A to
B.   Especially the way I drive.  Not to say I mercilessly beat on my car. 
I drive it hard and fast, when circumstances permit.  I do most of the
maintenance myself.  Yes I love my car.  My friends think I a little nuts. 
I get comments like "188k I hope you make it home" or "you sure wash you a
lot" Ok so maybe I'm a little touched.  Oh well.  

If you see a red 4kq VT plates with a dead sticker, honk wave, I'll wave
back.
