Why I'll only drive a quattro...

Coming home from my second job at Disney about 5 years back I was
driving my 'new to me' 87 5000CStq on Interstate 4. It was wet out and
I was driving about 75 in the fast lane. Out of nowhere a tanker semi
came across the median at a 45 degree angle doing about 50 mph. Knowing
instantly there was no stopping I just spun the wheel and drove directly
into the median to avoid him - praying there were no culverts. I missed
the back end by under a foot and had full control of the car sliding in
the weeds and mud. One person in a Lincoln Continental died in that
multicar accident. I was left shaking and spent the next year picking
weeds out of the undercarriage...
After I got home I told the wife I would never drive anything but a
quattro, and the next day went out and bought my first cell phone... I'm
now on Audi #5 and quattro #4...
