Re: non-audi jeep advice

[David Coleman <dcoleman@blackrock.com>]

buy something else.
- a jeep w/ 27k is an audi80 w/ 60+k, or a beat-up corolla w/ 90k.
- while swell highway "cars", to start modifying jeeps to better fill
the bill is dumping $$$ down the toilet that could be used to either pay
the extra on the A4 lease, or on nine '78 c-10 chevys, gun racks
included.
- jeeps suck... btdt.

hope this helps.
