>Wasn't the Audi model the 5000 that had the "drive itself" problems? And >Iheard a rumor once that AUDI really is an acronym that means "Accelerates >Under Demonic Intervention". The pedals are slightly offset from "US Standard." Some folks had a problem with hitting the gas instead of the brake. The dividing point was that the manual transmission models never had that problem....tho the other components were identical. My Saab was like that....first time folks would drive it, many had to look for the pedals! I prefer to shift for myself, tho......instead of being shiftless (i.e. automatic tranny). However, I live in the countryside of North Carolina, not in grid-locked LA (Brandy, my dear, you may keep LA....I don't even like visiting anymore!!). Heh...and pondering the supposed auto-acceleration....can you imagine an auto control system based on Windoze? Totally new meaning to the word, "crash." Cheers!
