That’s no esprit. looks like an éclat. Off to google

Edit: properly described in the ad, it's an éclat. Still worth it imo.

Do you mean “Running” as in away from it because it isn’t broken and you broke down in a bad neighborhood?

Ad actually says eclat, now that I look at it. I just assumed it was some hatch configuration I had never heard of.

Well it’s Utah, and what constitutes a “bad neighborhood” generally isn’t that scary.

We’re talking about a state where most of the population thinks Reagan was Jesus and that Obama is a terrorist sleeper cell. This car could run for ages.

No, you don’t understand how this works.

This is how it works.

Car- “Hey Alfalfa Romeo, let’s go get some more bulbs for my taillights.”

Alfalfa Romeo- “Ok car, let’s get some more bulbs.”

Car- “Vroom vrom vroooooommmmmmm.” *On way to car parts store*

Alfalfa Romeo- “Oh no car, it’s getting dark, ask Lucas how much longer he’ll work for.”

Car- “Will do.”

Alfalfa Romeo- “Oh goodness gracious, it’s dark now and none of the lights on this car work.”

Car- ...

Alfalfa Romeo- “There’s no streetlights either, Lucas must have engineered those also.”

Car- “Don’t worry, I think I remember the way to the auto parts store since we go there just about every day.”

Alfalfa Romeo- “Oh good, I’m going to take a nap now that you got this.”

Car- “Sure.”

****ONE DAY PASSES****

Alfalfa Romeo- “Yawn, where the fucking shit are we?”

Car- “No fucking clue.”

Alfalfa Romeo- “Let’s ask this nice gentleman where we are!”

*Nice gentleman is holding a 40 and has a Tec 9 in his waistband*

*Nice gentleman shoots at car and Alfalfa Romeo

Car- “I’m going to have an oil leak now.”

Alfalfa Romeo- SHITDAMNIT.

Well, Audi’s are famous for their robust electronics. My mistake.

I would too, if I didn’t know a shit ton of Mormon ultra-conservative-teaparty-MattWalshBlog readers.

What makes you think they would believe Rush Limbaugh if Rush said Ronald Reagan was Jewish?

Both myself, multiple family members and family friends of mine have had exactly zero electrical issues with any Audis.

But then one Jaguar XJS owned by a family member and it was a complete piece.

Those came with the later Excel. Similar motors, so a W58 could work I’m sure.

Is that a serious question? They believe everything Rush tells them. No matter how nuts it sounds.

Since bulbs are so expensive to replace.

Just a symptom of bad wiring.
