Mellow, don't let NWS4Guy harass you!

He's still upset that he didn't get carbon atlas inlays like we did! In fact, every day he regrets being stuck with the b*tch!

Oh, I'm sorry, did I say b*tch? I meant to say birch, you know - the gray birch wood inlays!

LOL Hey, I was just trying to be "punny," though I was immediately tempted too delete that post as it was a bit racy even for me! Thank goodness you're a good sport and have a sense of humor, buddy!

I have to wonder if we shot ourselves in the foot being so eager and early adopting, if they are making good money without this feature - are they less likely to focus resources on it sooner than later if they are already recouping the R&D?
That's my thinking. Developing tunes, superchargers, etc. are higher margin items than EMCS for a single Bosch ECU. They'll come back to EMCS when more Audis/VWs have Bosch ECUs or when they start to run out of other engines to tune.

You have to have thick skin to post on the interwebs.

The internet is serious business!

You know DrRick that you can just edit your post instead of deleting it.

So you're saying you've developed some mental "calluses"?


P.S. Interwebs? As opposed to what - Outerwebs?
