I know this because at least two locals were in a quivering rage at their inablity te lose me. - When the time came to re- turn the $52,000 car, I didn't want to. Usually I. don't mnd re- turning the test cars, because there's a new tey waiting for me. But the Audi 200 Qurttro Avant was just bard to give up, the way anything exceptional is.
