I heard this the other day - Seems someone in or near Silicon Valley has a
92 or so 100, and the key is stuck in the ignition and won't come out.
Clank and Clunk's advice to her was to see a locksmith. Duhhhh.

Only other Audi related item I've ever heard on their "show" was someone
whose 5K was having starting problems. Their advice was "Take it to the
dealer." Oh, the horror!

I don't listen to them often, and I am NOT a fan of theirs. YMMV, and if
you think they are the slickest thing since beer in cans, that's fine too.

And while I'm bitching about NPR, it seems that every year about this time,
they give a big feature for several days running about the Iditerod Dog
Sled race in Alaska; interviews with the sled drivers, the sled driver's
mothers, the sled dogs and the sled dogs' mothers. Attendance is generally
a few hundred very cold people shivering in the snow.

However, back in the REAL WORLD, at the same time EVERY YEAR, and for the
past 50+ years, so they can't say no one told them about it, it is Bike
Week in Daytona Beach. Quick Question: If you were an NPR newscaster, which
event would you rather cover: The cold, wet sled dogs, or BIKE WEEK - with
every running Harley Davidson in North America in attendance, an estimated
650,000 visitors this year, cole slaw wrestling, tens of thousands of
gallons of beer, wall-to-wall half nekkid wimmin running around everywhere,
beaches and palm trees, warm, balmy temperatures, one solid week of
non-stop partying and uproar.

NPR has the answer - the winner of the sled dog race this year was . . . I
forget.

Reason for this AM's crankiness - I'm putting off bleeding the clutch on my
5K.
