True, back when I was little my dad bought a Audi 90 when they first came
out on the B3 frame in 88. He had the car for ~80k miles and in 90 he fell
asleep at the wheel, on the highway barrel rolled 7-8 times down a hill and
fell to rest when it hit a tree. The car looked like it it was the target
of a military air raid. But the only injuries my dad suffered was cuts on
his hands from crawling out of it.
