In that case, buy her a couple of Audi Car Club (or similar) 'safety
seminars' (also known as driver schools in a lot of marque clubs such
as BMW CCA) to go with it. That way, she'll at least come to some
appreciation of the S4's performance capabilities (I'd bet *you* can't
drive one well, either.) and hopefully not kill herself within a year
in it.

It seriously bugs me to see people buying *new* cars for their kids
because when I was 17 I worked my **** off keeping a 1979 Ford Fiesta on
the road whilst going to college. My parents weren't that wealthy.

Re: AUDI S4-Car for my daughter
Okay, I see where this is going now, and it's my fault that this hasn't been
clear. My daughter has been into cars and racing for a long time. She's been
driving since she was 12 years old, we're the type of family where we teach
our kids everything early, which is probably the reason why she's so close
to being one of those classic overachievers--Sorry.She's been racing on
local tracks for a year and she's overcome quite a few challenges--like I
said--she has a lot of extracurricular activities. Although this is true,
she doesn't want to race anymore, nor does she want a vehicle that looks
like a race car, she just wants an automobile that operates so aggressively.
She's not expecting to take a car out and 'street race', she's a lot smarter
than that. We both like the features of the S4, and she likes the way it
looks. I didn't mean to wake some sort of "sleeping giant," all I asked was
for you guys to let me know if anyone was putting an S4 up for sale. I
apologize for bragging about my daughter so much but...what's not to brag
about? I'm damned proud of her and if you were her father you would be too.

Re: AUDI S4-Car for my daughter
It would be a really stupid thing to give an (used) S4 to a 17 yrs-old girl.
You just don't sound right. Get your fantasms elsewhere.
