on Quattro

[desperado]

From Four Wheeler Magazine, 1982:

I hope that I will soon forget the Audi Quattro. Until I do, I shall continue to worship that bitch goddess Success at the expense of friends, family, honesty and decency - anything to be in a position to have one. The Quattro is evil, an insidious witch in the guise of state-of-the-art engineering, a circe who commands your obedience every waking moment and a succubus who haunts every dream. She's the seductress who recreates That First Time all over again, who snips all your tethers to innocence and changes your life forever.

Without the flowery prose, 'tis how I feel about the R8.....

Thanks to my Audi experience I have recently started turning off the traction controll while motocrossing our Hummer. What a blast. Traction controll is for G'mas and dummies. The R 8 has taught me this. Cuts seconds off track lap times. And scares the hell out of passengers two-fold.
