Why I drive an Audi

One snowy night my friend drove a 4kq halfway into the pond in front of my
house (too much birthday celebrating). When I got down the driveway to pull
him out his car was hanging off the stone bridge with the nose in the water.
After careful extraction (the nose actually dipped deeper before it came
free... Driver couldn't decide if he should bail out the sunroof or keep his
foot on the gas) he proceeded to crash into a curb head on with the wheels
turned (yes he was a little intoxicated) and folded the passenger side A
frame underneath the car. He drove it about 20 miles in that condition and
it was sparking the whole way. You could say they are bullet proof. He to
this day is relentless on his cars (goes through them so fast it is hard to
keep up) but he always buys an Audi. When on the track he can do some pretty
impressive times against lighter cars with about the same horse power. The
up keep on my 20v is starting to wear me down (just sold my 85 Honda Accord
... nothing beyond regular maintenance needed, made me lazy) but I think I
will stick it out on this one a little longer since the farmer's almanac is
apparently calling for quite a winter this year.
