The Police Report, pt. II



Well, I picked up a copy of the accident report this morning, found her name
and phone number, and gave her a call ... only to get her answering machine.
She called back and left a message for me since I was on the phone.  I tried
her again and got a busy signal; she tried me again and left another message
... eventually, the call went through and a MAN answered!  He said she's out
running an errand but should be back in a few minutes then asked if he could
take a message ... I mumbled something to the effect of "No, I was returning
her call, returning my call, etc." when he cut me off by saying "You're that
guy with the Audi who ran into her friend the other week..."

Turns out that he's her FIANCE and drives an Audi ('88 5kq) himself!  I told
him about my new car, mentioned the quattro list (he works for Motorola) and
suggested that he subscribe ... all in all, he seemed like a decent guy.  It
was only after I hung up that I realized how awkward it might be if he found
out how much scheming went on here about how I should hit on his girlfriend!

Oh, well ... nothing ventured, nothing gained.  I guess some consolation can
be had in the fact that I ended up with pretty neat car to replace my '87 5k
even if I did have to spend my racecar budget in the process.   :^)
