    @Detroit Velvet Smooth aka Panzerwagon: I just had my B5's emission codes cleared yesterday. Seems like one of my three O2 sensors or two cats is starting to fail.

    That'll be an electrical tape repair directly to the CEL ;)

    Like Raskolnikov, the Audi's owner simultaneously covets the R8's performance and hates the brand's reputation for teutonic asshattery. Fortunately, we don't have to be a Petrovich to see through this transparent plot.

    This unnamed Russian will soon pay a heavy penance on the Internet but will ultimately learn to be happy with a used Mercedes taxicab.
