That was and wasn't in response to you (about the anti US stuff), you mentioned not to make it a US vs the world thing, I'd just read the thread about Pizza, so that was more of a "whats up with that?" kinda thing. I will add one more thing to that... I drive a 99 Audi A4 Quattro 1.8 T... With 42000 miles, I bought it because every one I know that had a VW or Audi told me how great they were and how much better than american cars they were. Since I've owned it it's been in the shop at least once every two months. I've owned Mitsubishi, Toyota, Isuzu, Chevy, Ford, Audi (I was spoiled as a teenager).... The only one that never gave me probs was the Chevy (except in snow man did that thing suck in snow), the Mitsubishi would be next in line on my most dependable list.
