This is the same school of thought that believes a suspension that still has
vertical travel is unacceptable, and a tire that has more than an inch of
sidewall is a waste.  The same fools who run neon under their cars and have
stereos with a frequency range between 35 and 125 Hz.  Morons...every last
one of them...  I really hope your wrong that these are the Audi drivers of
the future.  Although, I've seen a growing number of slammed and chopped
older BMWs running around....

You know, I actually agree with you.  Besides those who bought A4s
as personal appliances, there are some A4 owners that were probably
Hondacura transplants (you know, the slammed to the ground, tin-can
muffler variety).  They brought along a certain attitude and mentality...

I got this really bizarre e-mail from a young  A4 1.8T owner, flaming me
for posting pics of my un-modded A4 on my web site.  He was obviously
of the school of thought that the more aftermarket stuff you throw
on the car the more "cool" it becomes.  To him I seem to have committed
mortal sin by appreciating a fine car just as it is...

Hmmph.
