Well, this very weekend, I put out some Quattro propaganda. :-)

Four of us went canoeing in the Merrimack River. At the takeout
ramp, my trusty 100Q is waiting for us. Unfortunately, there is
a guy with a BIG 'murican van trying to get his boat out of the
water and up the ramp. No traction, wheels spinning, driver swearing.

I got my trusty 7mm perlon rope from the trunk, tied it to his
bumper, and pulled his 5000 pound van and 1000 pount boat up
the ramp and out of the water.

The crowd of onlookers was impressed :-)
