Don't need it yet...
just figured it was a good deal...and I know plenty of people that could use them too (in other words...I'd recoup the money). Nothing like a free tool!

Damn, things ARE expensive out there?
Less than half that for EVERYTHING at many places, including ECS tuning<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?make=Audi&engine=2.7T&mod el=B5%20S4&submodel=Sedan&category=Mainten ance">http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?make=Audi&engine=2.7T&mod el=B5

Yeah, I know - just seems like cheap insurance to me....
at least relatively cheap, considering the money many have spent on their cars....
It seems, one of the only things can grenade our engine is a broken timing belt - otherwise, they seem bulletproof.....

I have to talk to Jeff tonight. I'm leaving work now. I'll check the weather forecasts when I get home, and we'll make a call and send out an email. By tomorrow AM you'll know what's going on.
In general...below 40 degrees, and any precip, and the drive is canceled, but lunch is still on.
Ice, sleet, or more than 4", and I'm inclined to cancel the lunch as well.
I know, you're going to groan as if I'm taking the fun out of your hands...but I *know* someone will show up with inappropriate tires, and I don't want to see them get stupid, and crunch their car...or someone else's.
