Audis in the (horror?) Movies

[Steve Sears]

Ralph,
Like I said - you put the car in - no soup...er...points for you!
On the whole Spotting Audis in Movies/Horror thread, last night while
chained to the basement renovations (aka "dungeon") I had the tv on and was
flipping thru the channels (hey, I was on a break.) - there was an Audi TT
in a video (Beverly Mahood) on the Country Music channel - had me wondering
(thinking back to sitting in my friend's TT) how easy it is to heel/toe
shift with them big cowboy boots on......or if there's a part number for a
gun rack like the one for the Type 44 in the Euro FA........
On the CV joint issue, I was going to suggest washing the joint out really
well, repacking it with the CV grease and installing a new boot - it worked
for me a couple of times.  But hearing that the hardware has physically hit
the road....well...I guess it's easier to put it into the parts washer now.
Sorry to hear that.
Cheers!

Steve,

That sounds like a good movie to me.  I don't know how well it would scare
Audi
owners though.  After all, ever since seeing Christine, I've WANTED a
Plymouth
Fury.  ;-)

As for my 90S, it'll be making it's debut in my next movie, "Hunting Season"
and
is featured in a hit and run.  =)  It's shaping up to be a really, really
cool
flick.  I don't know if anyone here are big-time horror fans but we're in
talks
with Tom Savini about making a cameo.

To make this list-related, I was out voting this morning and the car really
started acting up and the wheel was jerking hard so I pulling into a
convenience
store parking lot for a minute.  When I went to turn around to head home, it
popped and made a really loud grinding noise and my baby wasn't going
anywhere.
Got out of the car and saw several ball bearings and pieces of metal by the
front right tire.  Looks like the CV Joint bit it earlier than expected. I
called AAA and had it towed to the mechanic and he'll hopefully be able to
get
to it earlier than my appointment(May 10!).

Eric, as for that documentary idea, it could be my life story! =)
