Geez, it's only science, so who knows, but 1. Have you seen the almost
continuous plant fossils found in and around coal beds, indicating
ancient plant life *might* have something to do with "fossil" fuels; and
2. oh criminy, the "big bang" didn't make our planet, there was over 10
billion years before Someone realised we would need a chunk of rock, not
gaseous bodies, to drive Audis around on; and 3. complex hydrocarbons
*probably* would not be the result of fiery processes measured in
millions of degrees C...

Audi content?  Um, anyone know if metalmaster pads will keep my wheels
clean(er), and how about a source for OEM dimensioned shocks and struts?

Thank you.

Oh, and would somebody tell me how one can be irritated by totally off
topic threads and yet still jump into them?  Is it like being angry
whenever someone *else* drives aggressively but also getting frayed
around the edges when slowpokes get in the way?
