I wonder...  How many Audi dealers are located within 50 miles of my home?
Let's see...  Uh...  Um...  Still counting...  Uh...  I have it!  Zero!
The nearest one is 65 miles west.  There used to be another one about 70-75
miles south.  I heard they closed some while back.  There is another one
about 125 miles north.  I guess that qualifies as less than a half day's
travel.  AFAIK there isn't another one within about 230 or so miles -
Pittsburgh.
