why I drive an Audi

[Andrew Mabe]

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.
