Good old days

I had a '73 Audi 100 LS in '77 - '79. If the outside temp was over 80 and you were making a left turn the horn would beep. The speedometer needle fell off. The passenger side window slipped off the frame and wouldn't close. If you got it up in mountains over 5,000 feet (like going to Lake Tahoe) you had to remove the air filter and cover so it could get more air.

Other than that it was a great car.
