1997 A4ta here with TAP chip, Jamex Filter, Eibach Springs, 17 X 8 Borbet Type
T's wearing Bridgestone Potenza S02's.  I am not one of those who just drives
an A4 because of its faddishness.  I did, however, notice more cameraderie with
Wrangler owners (when I was one) than I do with Audi owners.  I always get
ignored when I wave, but will continue to do so in hopes that some enthusiasts
will pop up here in Atlanta.

Not all automatic or non-quattro owners are non-enthusiasts.  Quattros are hard
to find in this climate, and automatic in the traffic I regularly drive in is
essential.
