Well, the back ain't good-the L3-L4 disc is squashed good. I should've had it fused when I did the two below it 11 years ago. 
I ended up canceling my trips yesterday and today, but armed with fresh Rx's of painkillers and steroids, am going to brave a trip to Dallas tomorrow. That meeting is one I cannot postpone with a once in a great while sales opportunity I've been working on a year, I'm very close to starting what will be our company's largest chain customer. The agony will be worthwhile.
The Doc asked me if the car looked good, I said of course-it's a 993- and freshly polished MB metallic paint!
Mike's story on the Audi stuff sure doesn't build confidence in their support in the states.

....Ultimately with a single phone call to Audi of Frankfurt, Germany (their response was “how many do you need, there’s 10 on the shelf?”)
The over the counter price was $130… plus the $45 cost of FedEx. Audi USA’s cost for the very same part number would have been $700 plus.
Do the arithmetic. . .

I just got my Automotion catalog in the mail and compared the price of the Porsche crest for the steering wheel with an older catolog. What was $59.95 for the crest is now $119.95!!!
