Well, my 5000/100 with 5 speed, plain vanilla, STILL doesn't qualify as a
"consumer car" - not by a long shot! BTDT on almost EVERYTHING, and right
now waiting for the guy to come convert my AC to R-134, new $150 compressor
waiting for him, and $300 order from parts connection (bomb, various rubber
bits) in UPS to me, heck, guys, this car isn't just a hobby, it's a
CAREER!!!  I don't care - I'm keeping it. You toucha my Audi, I breaka you
face. Real simple.

Non-recovering Audiholic, and not interested in recovering, thank you very
much!
